Jewbacca Posted November 24, 2019 Share Jewbacca I love your approach mate! Alot of guys talk doom and gloom and try scare the poo out of us. Yes its a hard ride, we know that. But like you say its all about having the right attitude towards it. If you ever in George let me know (081 018 2552), would be awesome to ride with you and learn from you. Much respect bro. Sounds like a plan! The in-laws live in Mossel bay and my old man in Natures Valley so we come up that way every so often! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubarra Posted November 25, 2019 Share Alot of guys talk doom and gloom and try scare the poo out of us. Yes its a hard ride, we know that. But like you say its all about having the right attitude towards it. Atta is a tough event that demands solid preparation even if you just want to ride it at a social pace. Think the bit of scaremongering from the "alot of guys" is a good thing even if it is exaggerated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamil Posted November 25, 2019 Share I'm terrified .... My inner wuss is reminding me how much I don't like the heat, that it's 2700m in 121km in this heat .... I'm listening to him as well as all the horror stories - I've given myself until 220th December to make the call as to whether I'm going to flog my entry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gnarly rocky part is behind you . The roads are better but the climbs very steep. You start with a monster just as you leave WP 3. So if you can do climbing on gravel at a speed just before you fall over , that is also ok . Hills, hills, hills.And the 220 th of December will never come. So you hang on to that entry.

Renier82 Posted November 29, 2019 Share it's a lekker event, will definitely give you an indication where your weaknesses are wear comfortable shoes and socks, since you will be pushing the bike on some of the hills... they are fkn relentless and steep. I love the atta.....booked my flights last night on kulula with their current special which ends today....

Renier82 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Why don't you book that shuttle service - a bit expensive but saves you a lot of time & effortyes i sent them a message on WA, still waiting for a reply Thought i could clap a lift and rather contribute to someone else's pocket if possible bit of a mad scramble since my plans fell through this morning with my friend that need to travel for business that time.

Not really necessary to book, but it's always nice to have an idea of how many broken and gatvol people will be sleeping over. [emoji1787] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
