Bub Marley Posted February 12 Posted February 12 3 hours ago, babse said: because of the heat? nah im pretty amped... I was amped as well. But lets be honest here, if you’re not at the elite level its gonna be a pretty miserable day in the saddle. And honestly 35 degrees in Wellington, out in the trails, it’s gonna feel like 40plus. If my initial target is 7 hours, that takes me to 1:30pm in the baking sun. If it’s 35 degrees, I’m probably looking at 8 hours in the saddle in the baking sun. Mamil, DieselnDust and babse 2 1

I also recon the Imbuko route offers some decent shaded/foresty areas. Yes it will be hot out there but there are plenty on miles under tree cover for some respite.

That's the kind of day where you just have to accept the pain and know that you can expect no relief.
Stevovo Posted February 13 Posted February 13 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DF-KE0XMB1D/?igsh=dWxzaWpvc2FuNHI5 Look at that! It is a special trail. Never done the race before and every year I say I need to get myself there. Singletrack, climbing, views, the switchbacks...world class! Heck, even better. All the stuff to make a mtber feel alive. This is why we do it. So if you have the opportunity to be there, remember you are a lucky guy or gal. Enjoy it! From a fomo filled flat land, gravel road rider. babse 1
