GLuvsMtb Posted October 30, 2022 Share Looks tempting! What does the camping setup look like? Is the catered option worth it? Looking to do this one and rough it with the tent solo, so want to travel light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking to do this one and rough it with the tent solo, so want to travel light There were a lot of campers this year. The event tent and caterers are very well set up 👍👍👍 Even a decent bike workshop setup if you should need it. Making it super easy if you want to go lite with a tent. When you contact Lani, she will provide you with a layout of the site 👍 Edited October 30, 2022 by ChrisF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLuvsMtb Posted October 30, 2022 Share Thanks Chris, is the event E-Bike “friendly”, ie. Does the camping sites have electricity to charge batteries? Edited October 30, 2022 by GLuvsMtb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisF Posted December 18, 2022 Share SIX months to go .... ENJOY .... Due to the heavy rains and resulting high river levels in 2022, the Day 3 route was different to previous years. Similar distance, excellent route ... but no crossing the river. Tandemuis and nathrix 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day leave either side of the long weekend helps. Once there, the logistics of this event must be one of the easiest of all stage events. Even more so for those families where not all take part in the racing. Sure would be nice to meet you in person Robert 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
