Gerhard765 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Only done sani three times. BnB is on my list for when I can. Sani was dry everytime with little to no rain. Based on the comments I would say just flip a coin. Edited January 12, 2022 by Gerhard765 Mattman and DIPSLICK 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieterlab1 Posted January 12, 2022 Share 5th consecutive Sani2C coming up - day 2 is the best riding I've ever done. 1st Berg & Bush this year. Excited! 2nd W2W coming up this year. Great race! Mattman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I FLY Posted January 12, 2022 Share I have done Sani2c ( in the worst rain and mud) Jhb2c twice my wife has done the full set including Berg and Bush I did not like the crowds at Sani2C and preferred the middle section of Jhb2C as I prefer the most technical riding aspect my wife enjoyed all 5 of her Berg and Bush races. Also did not enjoy Sani2C Mattman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sani is now much reduced in numbers, so not so crowded. Last year May was near perfect in terms of conditions, so the weather does play a big role.

My experience was in 2010 when the rain and mud started a week before the race and continued through the 3 days. That was also the year the organizers added an extra hundred teams or so. ( about 850 teams really put a strain on all the facilities) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Dassie Posted January 12, 2022 Share Both are incredible, but Berg & Bush gets my vote. Costing, vibe and ride experience. Not as packed as Sani, which I like. TBH you can't go wrong with either, comes down to what you want specifically. BigDL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattman Posted January 19, 2022 Share Thanks for all of the feedback. I have decided to go for B&B this year and Sani next year. Maybe throw in a Wines to Whales at the end of this year as well... Pieterlab1 and Danger Dassie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milosh Posted January 20, 2022 Share I have done both, multiple times , the riding is different but equally good, food is top class at both , so are water points ( resupply buffets ) but something about the point to point appeals to me personally , you are going somewhere an the sea is at the end. Choose one and do it , you will not be sorry , than put other on bucket list 😉 Edited January 20, 2022 by Milosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the wife decides to join for the trip then will stay at a place nearby. There seem to be many good accommodation options close to the start.

In the past there was always free camping at the Spionkop side race village. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
