Just got my entry registered for next years Transalp - the heavy training starts once I have carbo loaded with mince pies !!
Has anybody else got in ?
TW you bar steward 😉
I SSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO want to do that race - I plan to drag my lads over it before they get too old and thrash me to a pulp.
Do you happen to know the min age limit btw?
How much do you think it'll set you back, funds wise?
I'm not envious at all, no not me.... have a rubish x-mas btw 😀 😉
I am not sure of the age limit but 18 would be a good guess. Cost wise its 625 euro plus accomodation of 140 euros (more if you want hotels). Then its travel etc etc.
Some transalp tips...
1. Don't forget your toilet roll.
2. Mattress camp does NOT include matresses.
3. One night in a hotel in the middle is an ace idea.
4. Take a lock, bikes go missing.
5. Best training is miles and miles of steady climbing.
6. Expect nudity.
Enjoy.
Thanks re the tips - I have heard some horror stories of hairy Germans getting the Assos chamois cream in nude in the middle of the camp. Its hotels for me !!
