USEFUL TIPS TO MAKE YOUR JOURNEY BETTER
Registration and finish venues – from the heart of the Eastern Free State to the foothills of the magestic Drakensberg mountains.
Don’t over train
Train smart but ensure you come into the event fresh.
Check all travel docs
Including visas and double-check passport dates, etc. especially if traveling from abroad.
What airline is best
If time is not an issue Emirate or Qatar are great because they offer proper luggage allowance so bringing a bike works well.
Pre or post tour or safari
Contact Lara – la**@********co.za
Travel bag
One bag to fit all your belongings. This bag is transported between each race village.
Laundry service
We will have a community run hand-wash laundry facility at Emseni camp on day 4.
Pick up point
Mornings can be chilly and middle of the day is very warm so bring arm warmers etc. for early morning – we will have an pick up point at water point 1 each day to drop off your warm clothes.
Tubeless tyres with sealant
You cannot ride go2berg with tubes. You must have tubeless tyres. Make sure you check your sealant as it dries out after roughly 3 months. Top it up properly before go2berg. If in doubt book you bike in for a pre-service.
Don’t get left behind
Make sure you have booked all your shuttles if you need a shuttle to the start and from the finish.
Recovery zone and mechanic bookings
Massage booking, physio booking, bike service package reminder for those who want these services.
Alternative accommodation
If you are not the tent kind of person, or you snore, or just want some extra peace and quiet!
Pack wisely
You should not need to bring spares. Our bike shops are well stocked unless you have a special bike. But you can check by calling or emailing one or two of the bike shops.
