A big group from Heidelberg will be there again this year. Looking forward to the new route, and hopefully slightly dryer weather. Time for the flu to bugger off already!

I've entered the 90 k on my SS.

 

Need to decide now what ratio at the back but looking at that weather forecast, I think it will be an 18.

Not if you have a look on this (usually very accurate) site. Oh well, at least it does not look too bad, but looks like we will be riding in the rain again. Always fun!

As you say, always fun riding in the rain. Think it will be better to start with as I don't think they've had as much rain beforehand as last year. That mud clogging up the wheels was just insane!!! Will be interesting to see how the 'new' route rides. Just looking forward to a good day out on the mtb!!!

Looking forward to see parts of the day3 of Joberg2c as well as the parts of day2 we saw last year. I agree it won't be nearly as muddy as last year. Hope we get a mielie in the goody bag (or at least some popcorn).

 

Respect for doing the 90k on a SS!

Didn't we have some cornbread at the first waterpoint last year? Hopefully the organisation is as good as last year, don't think Craig is very involved this time around.

Had a crash on the road this morning, not too badly damaged but shoulder is rather bruised and sore, so will have to forfeit my entry. :(

This is turning into an awesome race to do and to get some much needed racing hours in the saddle.....again the Joberg2C/Berg2C guys, as well as the Hoerskool Reitz organisers put on a great 2012 event with some awesome single tracks and riding..... :clap: The rain the night before made things interresting again with some mud patches here and there, but the weather on the day was 100%. Craig (Whappo) shortened the race by some 6/7km's and in the end the 84km Bielie Mielie MTB race distance was spot on!! :thumbup: . Watering tables and markings were also excellent!! Thank goodness for Coke at the last watering table, beacause I needed it desperately after starting out way too fast and hitting the wall at around the 50km mark :eek:. Don't be in any doubt.... this race and route is tough when going all out....and taking mud and clay into account here and there on route!! Thanks again for a wonderful race and experience!! AND the Bielie Mielie Fees also had lekka food and eishcold beers!! :w00t: .....now I'm almost race ready for my Argus!! :devil: .....I'll be back (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice....)
