mecheng89 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Hmm.. I don't know if that's a steep entry fee, but from what I read all your nutrition needs are met.  And it seems gravel bikes are allowed.  Hmm.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mecheng89 Posted May 14, 2020 Share To those folks who are based in GP it's ideal. Starts and ends in the Cradle at Bidon Bistro.  But my thing is, how can the organizers be so confident that their events are going to go ahead?  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertWhitehead Posted May 14, 2020 Share I think it is a very reasonable - I am very keen to do this one (if I do more research)  Hmm.. I don't know if that's a steep entry fee, but from what I read all your nutrition needs are met.  And it seems gravel bikes are allowed.  Hmm..

tux26 Posted May 14, 2020 Share I see this has been added into the rules for the Munga Grit:Â "Where two riders cross the line at the same time and be eligible for a prize, the race director will decide the method to determine in which order the riders place."Â So no joint winners.

Slowbee Posted May 15, 2020 Share Imagine crossing the line together thinking you are going to sing Kumbaya and then the organiseer flips a coin to find the winner.I thought I read, "flip them the bird and give first prize to third place ". tux26, PhilipV and Jewbacca 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I FLY Posted May 15, 2020 Share I was trying to do a quick costing on two entries - bearing in mind we have not done such a long unsupported race before. (Longest was a 400km audax which was about 24 hours.) 1. Entry fees - assume I wait to see if race goes ahead -       R9k2. Dynamo Hubs -                                     R10k3. Bike packing bags                                   R10k4. Other                                              R???  I know that # 2 and 3 are long term equipment items but it does seem extravagant for these uncertain times.                             Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extreme endurance lights have more than enough battery power for 2 nights in that area, and bikepacking bags wouldn't be needed with so many water tables. A camelbak to carry a jacket in??

Rowl Posted May 15, 2020 Share Horses for courses I'm sure, but what are your thoughts of this vs 36ONE (haven't done it, just wondering)? My assumption is that the 36ONE route is a bit harder but this is longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How and where do you sleep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Posted May 15, 2020 Share I'm no super endurance event expert, but sure bike packing bags will be necessary? How and where do you sleep? I may be wrong, but I think a couple are farms/water points along the way provide accomodation if you wish to sleep. They seem to be selling the race a "need to carry nothing" event.
