You won't need a light for the 160km.. The start is at 07:15. At Waterpoint 3 (Malgas Pont @ 100km) you can get your Support Box at the water table.

Life will change a fair bit, but I have a good support system and look forward to spending more time playing guitar and shaping surfboards and focussing on work and home a bit more. Let's hope for a speedy and FULL recovery. May the need for a focus shift be temporary. May you be e-bike free for a good few decades ....

Don't think I'll be able to handle the full 100miler on that thing! So glad you posted this I am also doing the 60miler on my roadbike with 33c Cyclo-cross Tyres, hope I survive. Will keep an eye out for you. JohanDiv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only need lights if cycling to start.By end of neutral zone as you ho onto gravel it will be light enough.Beware in neutral zone of high speeds and overtaking over white line with oncoming traffic DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of overlapping wheels. I've seen okes tumble here before. JohanDiv and DieselnDust 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
