If I can gaffa tape a set of steps on the side of my now even taller HP, I'll try and make but have a job which won't finish till till late saturday/ early sunday morning.
I did the last one on a 1200 Adv with Distanzias ... similar road/off road bias as the tourances (ie both are abour 97% road / 3% off road). My advice is dont. Its a very wet run at the best of times ... after the last couple of weeks it will be a mudbath.
Its damn hard without knobblies. Wet clay and mud and heavy bikes on road biased tyres dont really work.
You can do it on the bigger bikes but put something like the Karoos on it first.
Even the TKCs will clog up and become slicks quickly on those trails and in this weather
Sorry about this folks, but due to unforseen circumstances I will be unable to attend. (I'm injured) However, I have spoken to Simon (Jarv) and he will be leading this event.
So just to make sure, please be at Newlands Corner ready for the off at 10:00 this coming Sunday.
