Ispeed_V Posted September 21, 2022 Share My philosophy: Wake up on the morning, If it is raining - will be (get) wet If it is windy - Hope for a tail wind or HTFU Suns Out - Guns out and loads of sun screen Zebra, Super Sywurm, Dexter-morgan and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohanDiv Posted September 21, 2022 Share This is by far my favorite downhill race - I'm 10kg heavier than in 2019, so technically gravity is on my side this year and I should be able to better my 2019 time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Stewart Posted September 23, 2022 Share I dunno if I would prefer all the uphills on this downhill race on Sunday, or all the uphills on the downhill race on Sunday in Jonkershoek which I entered for. For sure, the downhills at Jonkers are more fun, but this is maybe a to-do-again race for next year. . . that is unless Jonkers is up again on the same weekend, in which case . . . Enjoy the ride on Sunday for the K2C folks. MORNE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORNE Posted September 23, 2022 Share It’s only really that Irish climb at jonkers imo and then only because a long travel bike has the turning radius of a interlink truck on those switchbacks lol. I think that mid part at k2c where it feels like you have been climbing for 30km already, just to go around a turn and see more uphill - is mildly annoying 😅 my advice for the first timers at k2c would be: TRY and be in the clear before you get to it so you dont have to walk, but dont burn all your matches on that first climb…. people talk it up because its steep and rocky on the right where you have to pass all the walkers but its not that long or hard imo. That mid part where it just keeps winding up and up and up can be soul crushing if you are already pulling amps when you get there. And then when all the juice is gone, you are confronted with that last climb up to simola haha. enjoy Robbie Stewart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
