What are you trying to say here ???

That's quite ambitious. I've done joburg to pe unsupported in six days, including a rest day. It was really tough. There was a constant headwind for the whole trip which nearly broke me. What's the purpose of this proposed trip? Training? You thought of a route yet? I might be keen.

I would assume it's supposed to read UNSUPPORTED. So get stuck out in the sticks, its sayonara, congrats you're poked mate!

 

Not what you would call a warm 'n toasty feeling right?

I did not say unprepeared...

[Contaminated Haggis]

So there's no support but full preparation? That's cool, where does all this preparation get carried?

 

 

[GTRacing]

Stop wyning and commit. Were there's a will there's a way...

[Contaminated Haggis]

no whining, just preparing - you did say there was preparing allowed right?

[GTRacing]

[/quote'] people ride round the world unsupported. There is no reason a bike can't be more reliable than a car, provided a few extras are packed in the panniers.

[/quote'] are you limited to six days? I'd say joburg to shlaapstad in that time on a mountain bike unsupported is nearly impossible. On a road bike, on tar roads would be a lot easier. That said, after my trip to pe i promised myself the next one would include some dirt. Not necessarily the wild stuff the epic boys ride on, but just ordinary untarred roads, suitable for 28c tyres or a cyclo cross bike. There are heaps of roads like that in sa.
