    Much appreciated guys! I'm at 90% now that I'm going to do it. I'll just find a few more Inspirational, motivational type videos on Youtube ;-)

    I've actually resigned or stepped down as the Chairperson of "Team Winging It" so yes I have started training but for other events and I'm aware of the Ramp Up time. I'll have a look at trainingpeaks and also 220 Triathlon, I have a mate who's also very keen on doing it but he's the "Let's go full retard" type and then pulls out with weeks to go. I've got till the end of October to get my **** in order right?? :-)

    Thinking of entering but to be honest I'm scared, not really sure what I'm scared of though? I know I can do those distances and I've started training for CT Marathon and Cape Ultra, I've spoken to the missus who is supportive (already put it in the family calendar). I know it's a lonely rd to be out training when it's dark and cold. I will be away from the wife and daughters and they already ask when I'll be back if I go out for a gym session/run/cycle. Is there anything else I should think about before I enter? PS this has been on my "To do list" for about 10 years now. it's never been the right time and I doubt it ever will so before I turn 40 I want to do it but I can't go in half arsed.

    Contact some Cape Town (Tableview) based clubs and they could ride with you all the way into the Waterfront? It would mean a safety in numbers scenario? If the dates are good, I would defo be up for a ride like that?

    I feel the same way about the M5 being a decent road to cycle on because of that wide shoulder. I haven't been on there for a very long time because of a conversation I had with a club member but anyway.... If I get the chance to commute again then I'll probably use it. Less stress going through Claremont, Rondebosch with traffic and aunties (and some uncles) putting on make up, posting on FB or having breakfast whilst driving ....

    I entered the 22km, 50km would have been too much for my buddy so I rode with him all the way. Kudo's to the guy who nearly wiped out in the mud, not sure why the kid in front of him hit anchors but holy **** would he have been pissed off had he went into that mud patch face first!
  7. Dadbod Racing
    Well done, I was standing next to you when you guys registered. Hopefully when my girls are a bit bigger they'll join me too.

    Glad you are ok! Driver of the car? Taking responsibility??????????? There are soooo many swear words running through my head right now but I'm trying not to be labelled as a potty mouth. Again glad you're ok. When are motorists going to realise that the more cyclists there are on the road the less traffic we will have in the city? I'd love to commute, my wife and daughters are even thinking of cycling with them to school in the summer (I still have to work out the route though. The last bit for myself and the wife will be Rondebosch main to Obs/Salt River which we can handlle.

    LMAO no screaming off for me at all! I'll try and finish in sub 6, I honestly just want to finish this Ultra. Good Luck with the Macmac 100 Miler.. Actually WTF dude??? Much respect, hope that goes well too!
  10. Dadbod Racing
    Don't stay **** like that to me, I'm dumb enough to accept the challenge! lol Good luck, hope the training went well?
  11. Dadbod Racing
    I winged a qualifying time in the Sanlam marathon then it seemed like a good idea to enter the Ultra cause that's what you do innit... Then life happened and training didn't :-(
  12. Dadbod Racing
    I'd like to join but my dumbass has decided to run the Ultra this year. I need new friends... Friends don't let friends enter stupid events like long running events, triathlons, long swims and all the other dumb **** I enter.....
  13. Dadbod Racing
    Anyone doing the Langebaan Race this weekend?
  14. Dadbod Racing
    Awesome stuff, the Cape Ultra has a trail route with a few inclines I'd much prefer the flat street course.
  15. Dadbod Racing
    Oops didn't see this, yes it was an awesome day out. I love the circuit racing scene I don't get bored of a lap style race so suits me just fine. Got some cramps on the run so ran at a slower pace.
  16. Dadbod Racing
    Yip the wife confirmed this, she started in 6J and also mentioned this. I started in 2G and we also had a bottle nek trying to go up so I thought almost all the groups would have had this.

    But why?
  19. Dadbod Racing
    Enjoyed the ride. I wasn't fit at all so just pedaled, I also encountered the brake test numptys and the lets veer left and right without checking squad. Dear Frans, jou moer! Why would you take a single use plastic bottle out your pocket and throw it in the bush on Chappies?? WTF I know why you braked cause you didn't feel like defending yourself and I was very ready for round two of me explaining Why the f&*k you just don't do it. To the uncle that veered into me, I know you said sorry and it wouldn't happen again but then further down the road I see you did it again?? Are you scared of commitment? Do you only write with pencils, what's the deal?? I should be proud of my 10th medal well am I slightly but what I'm more proud of was my missus finishing, this after a layoff of 14 years and two kiddies later!
  20. Dadbod Racing
    Sterkte!!!!!!!!! You'll be back ....
  21. Dadbod Racing
    Was it only cement bankies that you had on you?
  22. Dadbod Racing
    Big girl panties on boys and girls, I'm riding on Sunday regardless. I'll meet whoever at the start to ride through route. I've done dumber **** than ride my bicycle in the wind.
  23. Dadbod Racing
    Throw in Downwind Stand Up Paddle in the mix too!
  24. Dadbod Racing
    I think my daughters friends are a bit tired of her bringing either her medals or my medals in on Mondays... But they love doing events to get medals, I'm happy they want to live a healthy lifestyle.
  25. Dadbod Racing
    Why not take the medal and drop it off at the Red Cross Hospital? They give it to the kids who reach milestones in the treatment? Not taking a medal also opens up you up to the question of "Did you even ride bro" ??????
