Velouria Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Riding Dirtopia's 9-5 in a 2/4 man team is quite tough - 20 minute sprint intervals for 8 hours...
Brett MTBer Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 The 2009 Subaru Sabie Classic will have a new 100km distance with possibly 3000m of climbing as well as the regular 15,40 & 70km, tough? Bet yer ass!

Tumbleweed Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 I think a 24h event is tough mentally . Its mainly the 7 foot rabbit that is the problem they said it was a chicken.
shawn Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 THE HILL 2 HILL, 106 KM OF HELL, ESPECIALY THIS YEARS RACE WITH ALL THE RAIN AND MUD,THERE WAS A SECTION OF ALMOST 3KMS OF SHIN DEEP MUD SO RIDING WAS IMPOSSIBLE, IT WAS LIKE DOING THE COMRADES CARRYING A BICYCLE AND SLOSHING THROUGH MUD.

Mellow Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 This year Lourensford got me. Did not do Hill2Hill this year, but judging by the times of the riders it looked nasty.
Flea Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Desert Bash looks tough - 360 km Weather can make almost any race tough - heat, wet etc
Borriz Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 From what I've heard the toughest races are - not considering weather conditions:Magalies MonsterMagoebasBarberton I don't hang in Cape Town, but sure they will mention races like Seweweeks Poort
Serendipity Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Attakwas is a monster - 2700 odd metres of climbing in 130 km. Going from Candelier Game Farm near Oudtshoorn to Great Brak River. It is the toughest I have done. Evans won last year in just under 6 hours.
