cat-i Posted February 20, 2019 Share Expect the best 9 days on a bike, of your life. Can not wait!!! Wannabe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannabe Posted February 20, 2019 Share Can not wait!!! I got a serious case of the morbs / fomo. Must make a plan to do it again in 2020. Do not go too hard the first two days through the Freestate, the real nice riding only start on day Three on wards. You will find you gets stronger as the days goes on, and on day 9 you will be slightly depressed, because you want more of the awesome riding. cat-i 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NelAndre Posted February 20, 2019 Share Expect the best 9 days on a bike, of your life.Wannabe: This was your exact post to me last year when I entered my 1st one and asked what to expect, and you were NOT wrong. Amazing experience. Serious FOMO at the moment so 2020 here I come. To those that are riding, this is the 10th Edition so I am sure it will be a little bit more special. Enjoy.

JeremyCPT Posted February 20, 2019 Share What an awesome event.Loved it in 2017 and doing it again this year.I think the pricing is fair. Not cheap but fair.They have a lot of logistics to handle with the point to point nature of the event unlike a lot of the other stage races that have multiple nights in the same camp.Best food and vibe in any of the multi day races I've done.Very good combination between a hard enough route but still able to have a jol without killing yourself.9 weeks to go, lots more training to be done.Dreaming of :Great wall my China, Sollys, Umko, Harrisons, Rock & Roll, Gumtree, etc etc Andrew Steer, cat-i, Wannabe and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannabe Posted February 20, 2019 Share Great Wall my China was one of my highlights, together with the Umko Drop.The sight of the long line of riders ascending "The Wall" and then the incredible views over the valley below when you get to the top, was amazing. And then also to be able to ride on top of the mountain, with cliffs mere feet away from you, still gives me goosebumps.

Ramrod Posted April 22, 2019 Share Please no RAINLooks like those first 3 days are going to be a mud fest. Heidelberg, Reitz and Frankfort have rain predicted for the next 3 days according to the app on my phone. arendoog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubber Posted April 22, 2019 Share Would absolutely love to do it solo again but its now double the cost of what I paid in 2013 In 2013 I think the event was only a few years old. As such you got a bargain. I still think it is one of the best value for money events in the country... Wannabe, cat-i and Andrew Steer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubber Posted April 22, 2019 Share was reading somewhere that we dont go up Spionkop anymore.they stopped for a few years - but I think they are going back up this year.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
