Rouxenator Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Who else will be lining up for the long one tomorrow?
Rouxenator Posted January 25, 2019 Author Posted January 25, 2019 I think you can enter tomorrow morning. Surprised they marketed this so poorly.
Reme Le Hane Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Ill be there, the waking up soo early is going to be soo much not fun.
Max Headroom Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Yup - see you there - I love these trails !Dam looks fantastic as well - it was so empty late last year.
Max Headroom Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Anyone know if there will be a seeded start ?(numbers and local time-keepers don't suggest don't give a hint)
Max Headroom Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 I think you can enter tomorrow morning. Surprised they marketed this so poorly. Correct - they show on Facebook (comments) that entries open at venue in the morning
Reme Le Hane Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Correct - they show on Facebook (comments) that entries open at venue in the morningThink it's 350 plus 35 if you need a csa
Mamil Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Hmmmmmmmm.... lie in and keep legs relatively fresh for sportif on sunday or sparrows drive to franschoek to ride this again and make the sportif a lazy dawdle.... These are the tough decisions
timhoek Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 I registered this afternoon. Apparently they are putting a lot of effort into route markings and lead/batch bikes this year, so hopefully there are will be no issues of getting lost. The routes have been cleared, but it is still a proper mountain bike excursion. I am really looking forward to it. I highly doubt that the elevation gain will be 2300m, more like 1300 at the most, but let’s see.l, maybe Natie has a surprise in his pocket. See you out there.

Rouxenator Posted January 25, 2019 Author Posted January 25, 2019 How I'm wondering should I take the tried and tested 29er I rode on these trails in the past few years, or my old 26er...
Jaco-fiets Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Take camping gear with.............lost you will getWas a epic screw up last year
Rouxenator Posted January 26, 2019 Author Posted January 26, 2019 Loved it, very well organised, excellent vibe. Marking and marshalls were incredible and there was no chance anyone would take a wrong turn anywhere. Stopped at two water tables and they had all you could need and more. It is evident a lot of work went into preparing the trails. Thanks to all involves. Only one tip : More publicity!!!! There were so few people attending, shocking to think that until yesterday afternoon there was no mention of this on Bikehub. If had not Googled about it then I would not know. Hopefully next year it will be same - but with way more entrants.
BrandonF_ Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 Was a tough route, but very enjoyable, loved the technical terrain! Super well organized, well done all involved!! Where will one find the results?
