jrussell Posted January 11, 2010 Share Haha Im super stoked to race it will be my first ever. so im really keen. and just wondering, how do the shuttles work? how do they tie the bikes down or whatever? or do you hold them? im worried about sssstttannntionnnsss. and is it R200 per day so R400 in totall? or R200 for the event?

Capricorn Posted January 11, 2010 Share glad the practice is 12 on sat. gives me some time to get there and still run around beforehand. Just hope paarl doesnt move to the center of the sun though. It's often just so damn hot there Prac should end by about 17h00 i reckon. I will definitely need the saddle time It's R200 for the whole event: prac + race + shuttle runs.At urban assault, it was just two largeass trucks with cattle at the back holding onto their bikes. Just about every rider takes some care not to hook pedals and sh*t onto another guys bike. But if the truck lurches around, sh*t happens. oh and I have yet to see some dude sporting fork protection during shuttle runs. But you can be the first.. the fearless pioneer...

Mitch21 Posted January 11, 2010 Share http://www.facebook.com/#/event.php?eid=180572423364&ref=ts The group with all the info. About the shuttling, it says thanks to ontap for shuttling sponsors, so im guessing they will be using a truck with an open back like normal. Everyone usually stands/sits with their bike standing up and they hold it up. They are stacked like one facing left, one facing right and so on.
