I see all the "repeat offenders" have entered.  Any newbies considering giving the Dash a bash?

Missed the last two years due to work and being uselessly unfit but there will be a couple of us this year...

Just to be clear.. is the team race a relay-style race or the team all rides together at the same time?

Relay as far as I know

Yes, correct.  Only one member of each team can be on the course at the same time. 

 

That being said if everyone wants to sit and chill for a while and not ride the full 6 hours, that is also fine. 

 

A team member doesnt have to be on the course all the time - unless you are racing it, then every single second counts

Will be back for the first time since 2015, hope I can get down the stairs as they were not there in 2015.

 

If I can improve the number of laps by 1 I will be happy.

 

Ps. How is conditions looking regarding mud & water?

[suzieQ]

@RocknRolla looking forward to seeing you there

 

@Cheese the stairs are an A line, and very ridable, Im told!  There is a B line option which is simple single track and only slightly longer. Glad to hear you will be back.

 

I believe the route is looking awesome and we had just enough done for the rain to help and not destroy the route and still a few days to go (and a number of hours work on the trail).

Jozi trails has also been putting lots of effort into the water erosion situation.
