Looking at this 9 day ride/race next year. anyone doe it? any good?
I haven't but many off my mates have. What kind of riding or experience are you after?
Happybiker has, I'll give him a shout...
Signed up for 2017 with the Mrs and a few mates, one of whom is doing for a second time and highly recommends it. Take it you've seen this?
Done sani2c which uses the last three days of joberg2c a few times. Always a well run event, great food both on the course and in the evenings. Good course for the last three days much much more xc than enduro. For sani2c the training is more getting the miles in, it's not technical, joberg may be a bit different as Sani has a big corporate element, . Earplugs (or sleeping tabs) are essential for the overnight tent city 🙂

After finishing we always go up to Durban for a few days recovery, th oyster box is a great hotel for this. South Africans are really nice and will be impressed you've travelled down to race.
Brilliant race, the first 3 days are fairly flat but longer distances. The views and riding for the remainder are amazing, it's really well organised and the food, during the riding and at night is incredible. Highly recommended!
I'm going!
Really looking forward to it.

Slowuphill,

Anyone else coming?
