Can't wait for my second TB!!!
EcoBound, any chances you can put up a little tent or something at the top of the mountain? For the ladies (like me) who are very shy and needs a place to change to dry clothes. I know the toilets are there, but you know how they look after a few hours and when its dark (yukky)
Everything else is perfect and everything well organised! Thanks for a great event!!

Point noted. You will definitely notice the difference this year.

You sister cons everyone into doing things, whether they want to or not

[Wil6]

And we are entered for yet another one!Hopefully my first on the original route.Can't wait but still have to start training....

[Tarmac's Revenge]

Is the whole race jeep track/district road like the video?

Do any guys do it on rigid forks?

[Wil6]

Couple of rough sections but most of the race you will be able to ride with a rigid fork.But that person will not be me....

Interesting indeed, I ride all of Tokai up and down incl all singletracks with a rigid fork just fine...might be a nice light, efficient option... will just need some gel gloves and high volume tires for the prolonged period

[Wil6]

Don't think the question should be if you can,but for how long will you be able to ride like that comfortably.Over a distance of 230km I would sacrifice weight for comfort any day!

Maybe you should be more specific. What kind of time/pace are you hope to ride? Also, where are you based?

[NotSoBigBen]

Just a question for us from Johaanusbeg ..... about logistics:-

1) What accomodation is needed and where (i.e. night before/ night after perhaps), any suggestions ofr something reasonably priced (nothing fancy needed)
2) Would my son be able to find his way to where needed with a GPS/map for support?
3) How far from Jhb - start and finish back to JHB?

Any other tips/suggestions regarding logistics?

Just hoping others from around here could give some info
