fanievb Posted August 7, 2018 Share Yes. Any advice? pack sunscreen (and rain jackets) if you don't like craft beer, pack your own. you can only get darling crap or wine at the 1st camp site have a spur burger have a swim in the streams take eye drops for the dust it's only 60km but its not easy heartbreak is not named heartbreak for nothing elandspad is a SOB going up and down nothing works for the ants, but they disappear when the sun starts going down take it easy in the corners if its dry edit: double check your tent position, the guys setting up don't check for rocks Edited August 7, 2018 by fanievb TALUS, DJR, Man with no name and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIB Posted August 7, 2018 Share Day two is only 40 km - you freewheel the last 20..... Easy day out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TALUS Posted August 9, 2018 Share Day two is only 40 km - you freewheel the last 20..... Easy day out!I know you are joking but for the record - the 2 days are EXACTLY the same length. You start where you finish. Day 2 is at least 15 minutes harder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted August 19, 2018 Share Not really advice, more of a warning. Enjoy! It is a great ride in a great part of the world. Since that disastrous year I've been back to do it all on my lonesone - awesome! https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/157677-autopsy-of-a-bike-race-to-hell-not-back/?hl=hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Albert Cycles Posted October 14, 2018 Share The first about 10 kms from the turnoff after cresting the Pass is in a poor condition . Lots of stones . Then better from there . Speaking of conditions 2 weeks ago . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanievb Posted October 14, 2018 Share The first about 10 kms from the turnoff after cresting the Pass is in a poor condition . Lots of stones . Then better from there . Speaking of conditions 2 weeks ago .My back took a pounding there last year. Loose and bumpy Would have expected it to be fixed already as some sections looked like they've been worked on during last year's event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDan Posted November 17, 2018 Share Looking at the prices for the event that just passed.R2 100 for the event only (including a t-shirt). A reasonable R400 more for tent and 3 meal. Am I the only one who thinks the base fee of R2 100 is hefty for two days of riding? That's a little over R1 000 per day just to take part in the riding. I understand it's a special ride, which is why I really want to do it, but at that price... eish naai man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
