Seen as though Spud is working so hard and does not have time on his hands at the moment I thought I would start this for him :clap:

Well maybe a bit early but since I am just a kid and get so excited I thought I would start the thread early this year. The thread is for the express purpose of sharing information, moaning, popcorn, and just getting excited about my favourite ride (with Hell and Back being a close second) Ecobound rules...

I think entries are opening soon.

We'll be attempting the mighty Trans Baviaans this year. I must admit, I'm scared, but we're training hard so I hope we"ll be ready by then.

I di it for the first time last year and can't wait for this year. It is an awesome race. I hope there will be some big names again.
It's not the speed that hurts... It's the sudden stop!

Yes, Cant wait for it The Baviaans is the Monster of all races . Yes staying down here in George makes the training a bit harder, so we will be ready for it. But for first the Iron Man is winking

ditto

was my first team long race vibe, I loved it. the trip is far more worth it than caroo to coast. Im skipping the K2C for the baviaans.

Im regretting the "saag tande" they were the hardest part of the whole thing to me.

Going to try and to do it this year. :unsure:
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times

Leet, can we meet for a drink ?

I am also wanting to do it this year as part of the training.

I am also wanting to get hold of dibbles and the three of us can ride together
