A knowledge of history needed here. The last time Big H rode the Kremetart another Big Hendrik (who you know) was in charge of the lighting in the tunnels. Big Hendrik  started the generator at about 5am and by the time Big H got there he had run the thing dry, without any back up fuel on hand.

Big H needed a white stick to feel his way through the tunnels.

Ah..... the court jester speaks!!!!!!! no...... the last time I did the Kremetart there was no lighting ..... somebody had a row of torches taped to the barriers in an attemot to show the way, and the year before there was a terrible crash in the ladies bunch in the tunnel.

My Bad, it was the year before that the generator failed plunging the tunnels into darkness.  I then decided that to rely on one power source was a bad thing so I bought 200 tourches and had them taped to the guardrail.  

 

... it is not possible to provide enough power and lights to properly illuminate 950metre of tunnel .... especially as the human eye is slow to adapt from the bright morning light outside......all that can be done is to light up the sides to define limits of the roadway..... a lamp on the bike works wonders though.

 

Just make sure there are no potholes inside the tunnel and I will go through it with my eyes closed

doin the race for the first time' date='need some info on the foll:

is the race tough

No, just long, keep some energy in reserve for the nasty bump on the last stage

is backup necessary

No, each stage has food and drink. There is also a tog bag vehicle to transport any items you want.

essential items too carry

I would suggest carrying 2 tubes

any advice will be appreciated

thanks

Good dose of sunblock.

 

If you stick around long enough at the evenings potjiekos you can usually score seconds.
