Another solo for you Sias?

[partydave]

Back in the saddle for this one, just need to find a team. Seems there isn't as much interest (at least locally) this year

[partydave]

Team and entry sorted. Another 4 man this year, but at least getting a tougher stage....3

After 5 solo's....it is time this year for a 2 man team.

Solo is still a huge bucket list item, but I've not gotten much saddle time since 2016 Dash and would have set myself up for failure

[Patchelicious]

I need to do the Solo again, its been long enough to have forgotten about how *** it was.

 

Whats the best way to organise an entry?

Hi, any groups training for the desert dash in the Randburg/ Fourways area?

[partydave]

How's the training going guys?

 

Hurt my coxis by moering off a ladder 3 weeks ago, been itching to get back on the bike. Last few kilos were rough, but I think I can get by with a few short rides weekdays without doing too much damage

Seems like there are years of experience on this race in this chat. How would you summarize it for o newby?

Are you doing solo? What long distance races have you done? What is your fitness level?

But to summarize: It's hard, no matter what you have done and what your level of fitness is.

It's hard, no matter what you have done and what your level of fitness is.

 

Absolutely. People very easily underestimate it as just another stage race, but the heat, dust, wind and loneliness catches a lot of people out.

 

I've heard of so many people giving up less than 70km away from the finish line.

 

Rather over-train and finish comfortably than under-train and struggle midway through. Stage 3 will kill you if you're not prepared and then you've not even hit the plot road behind Swakop with tired legs some 200 odd km away
