Eveza Posted July 1, 2019 Share Just guessing we will need a light for the night time, if we make it that far? Also will there be facilities available to charge these? I do not think my cheap lights are making it as long as my legs, but I have two batteries to swap out. Yep, the route will be marked with reflective markers but you will need a bike light for the night time riding. There will be a charging station for all electronic devices.

Koos Likkewaan Posted August 5, 2019 Share How far would the camping site / gazebo be from the start / finish line ?Would it make sense to go to your gazebo after each lap, or just stay in the participants area ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koos Likkewaan Posted August 7, 2019 Share Anyone doing this event this weekend ? Was wondering if a DS bike will be overkill, considering the description of the terrain. Would a HT be hard on the body after a couple of laps ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr3mlin131 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Anyone doing this event this weekend ? Was wondering if a DS bike will be overkill, considering the description of the terrain. Would a HT be hard on the body after a couple of laps ? I was almost thinking of bringing a gravel bike after hearing the description. But my trusty HT will be taking me around. I did not read anything about switching bikes, so might be worth it to bring both and change later when your ass is done? Koos Likkewaan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switching should not be a problem, since you can even hire a bike per lap if yours are still being repaired ( if needed ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotSoBigBen Posted August 7, 2019 Share Would anyone be so kind to forward me the info pack e-mail please? Asked a few times on Facebook and the website contacts but no joy [emoji2959]So sadly I must apologise to the organisers, not their fault, as it turns out the address I used didn't allow those mails through [emoji34] Have requested the change to my private address.

NotSoBigBen Posted August 11, 2019 Share So how did it go for the rest of you? I had 'fun' ... Hung in there for 22 hours then it got just a tad too cold for me. I see 3 brave lads completed the full 60 hours and it ended in a close sprint finish on the last lap [emoji44] RocknRolla, Pieter1, Chris_ and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewMo Posted August 11, 2019 Share Aside from a broken bike after only a handful of hours in, fantastic. I’m still finding dust in strange places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what a nice concept, want to have another go at it next time. After that I am really looking into getting a decent bike. My 26" with v-brakes felt a bit out of place there, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
