Furbz Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 Does anyone have a GPS route to program into my GPS for the 3 stages?

Cookie88 Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) Any news on the potential route changes on Day 2 - interested to hear they are going to change things up with the closing of the Lebanon Trails? ???? Edited October 28, 2021 by Cookie88

Warrenlee Posted October 28, 2021 Author Posted October 28, 2021 Final seeding/ batches schedule to be released tomorrow! I'm pretty sure given the lack of races I have done in the last year my seeding is going to be wrecked! But we will see it as a good opportunity to chase down some of the boys in front of us. This time next week we are on the way to Cape Town!

Sure you realise it's not just about directions right - sometimes cool to know the elevations, when a climb is coming or how long the climb will last while you are on it etc. Anyway, all good, will find out from the organisers.
DieselnDust Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 Route profiles are published on the site. Is this level of detail vital for podium aspirations? Just curious as I've never had a need for that level of detail. Climbpro might be able to help Warrenlee 1

Get your riding partner and have the best time of your life. This is how W2W goes. And every night is phuzza night. I very much doubt the organizers will post up too much a week or so before. As mentioned most of this race is on private land. One year we did it they had to change the route because some some piece of bird excrement thought he was allowed to ride the trail when he sore fit. okes get too technical. It's pretty simple. If you're tired, you're going uphill. If you're having fun, you're going downhill. Otherwise just follow the oke in front of you - unless you're near the bar, then take no prisoners and get to the front ASAP. Scary Rider, DieselnDust, TYGA and 3 others 3 3
Bos Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 A week to go! Excited for this. I've picked up a bit of a chest cold, which is hanging on longer than I'd like after a surf last weekend. Haven't ridden this week as I'm on the taper Better come right soon! Will do a last 2 hour endurance ride tomorrow regardless, and then its rock and roll! Thinking about bike technicalities.. Maybe want to get a holy rail so I can fit a larger bottle... could also just live with a bottle in the hip pack. ..puzzling Â
DieselnDust Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 Distance between water points is like 25km. So even 1x750ml bottle is enough
wessie12 Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 Rode Oakvalley today, the trails are in good condition. Looking forward to 3 awesome days. M L 1
