MX okes bound to crash - sorry Kerim

The organisers showed some impressive skills, adjusting the courses to still keep them relelvant to most. Km for Km is was harder than say Bronze 2019 but only doing 56km on a day does not hammer you as hard as 130km. Even in the slippery conditions. Overall it was still a successful event...

I see a dude I know there, dont think he finished Silver. It was particularly BRUTAL this year, All the other classes has typical attrition rates, around 10-20% while Silver was over 50%.

If you go and ride those tracks in the dry, you will have a very different experience. In that video posted above you see our team in the beginning and then see us walking and falling down the rocks at the end. We hit that climb people are crying about in the hail and rain. It was a mess.

Two Stroke or Breaststroke? Bring your rain gear, eish .

Leave in 2 days, lets go do this thing. Just a big outride in the mountains.

I used Metzeler 6DE last time, a fresh new Super Soft each day. I'm likely going to go a single Soft Metzeler on Thu/Fri and a Mitas double green on Saturday.

I'll stick with double greens then

I have double green , but wont a Mid work better in the mud?

What is your thinking of tyre for mud vs tyre for rain? I am thinking a Mid with soft mousse will be better for muddy areas. The rocks are damn slippery in the actual rain so no matter what you use you are fooked. Would a harder tyre not clear mud and cut traction easier?

Bronze Saturday = 55km Iron Saturday = 36km Here comes kak

I'm taking two tyre options, a super soft with medium mousse and then a Mid with a really soft mousse. If its light rain I think the medium will work better in muddy conditions, rocks are always slippery and so it makes no difference what you use. I expect to use only one tyre the whole 3...

The best bike there is for enduro , simple as that. The power delivery is smoothe and actually quite surprisingly fast, you can change the cam in the throttle to make it more wild but it can make power when you want it and lug when you need it. The bike feels tamer but when you measure your...

2 weeks to go, lets hope the wet weather passes and just prepares the mountains for some spectacular riding.

I have not been riding much so its going to be interesting, the new Iron class will hopefully be easy enough to finish, but 100km a day in Lesotho is still 100km in Lesotho.

And Vax certs?

The new exhaust means my bike is ready to race , thanks tman ;)

9th to 13th November , 1 month to go!
