Leg breaker

So i'm starting in L but i believe i could do a sub 3 hour my coach recons around sub 2h50 should be my goal according to my recent results. I haven't done that many road races ( only done 3 all in cape town and none were seeding events). Does anyone know if i will be able to get an earlier start time ? like around E or F ? Thanks

My grammar senses are tingling

A proper warm down after a ride/intervals is very important. when you get home, drink lots of water! if you really need it have a recovery drink ( i use PVM or cadence revive) Eat a proper meal. i believe in recovery socks/pants. But just putting your legs up against a wall to get the blood out off them works also i guess. Do a light spin in the evening( use rollers or just go around the block) Arnica/deep heat cream. just make sure to wash your hands ( it hurts on certain areas ) This is just my opinion.

How hard is it to do a sub 3 hour time for this race ? my recent results are 2h27min for west coast express (85km-WINDY) 5HOURS for the One tonner 160km. My only concern is my start time .

Hey where is the "my pix tab" how do we view all your photographs (killarney/ track cycling ect..) ?

i'll show this to Colin

Does anyone know the winning time ? it was a awesome race, my only issue was for the last 10kms all the short route riders where riding in the middle of the road and some where even walking, when some of big groups came through a lot of guys got ridden off the road and even crash.

I saw that !!! The event organizers got there numbers. shocking.

still can't find it

Hey Does anyone know how the start groups for the One Tonner work, my start group is T but what i want to know is do all the groups start close together. my dad rode the Engen dynamic and was put in U but he started with the E bunch all the way to Z they started together. will it by similar. i want to ride with the G bunch how far back is T ? minutes wise Many thanks Josh Grant

Hey Who was the person taking photo's there ? where can we view them ?

Looking forward to this one !

such a waste RIP.... It is so sad that drivers lack consideration for cyclists even when we live in a country were the biggest race in the world is held. Cars are constantly hooting at us for just being on the road ! 1.5 meter rule needs to be enforced more.

Thanks Mcipollini i will do that

I'm doing it ! hopefully with the Outriders BLUE TRAIN

Tell me if i'm wrong here ; I did this race just to increase my PPA seeding as well as gain race experience as i'm new to cycling (since march). i started today's race in the ELITE group obviously not in the right place for me . i got put there by the race organizers because of my recent results (winning the Youth festival Junior road race). Anyway i got dropped around the 11km mark, i was told by the race marshals who give the direction where to go and they directed me to the 40km route, obviously i just did what they said not knowing what was happening. So i never got to do the 99km route and now my seeding will not be increased and i had a bad day out !! Would you guys say that i have a right to phone the race organizers and complain that i was told the wrong route, and want an assessed time or something ? ( i really don't care about getting a good time, i just want my PPA seeding to be increased) Regards Josh Grant

Thanks it really helped.

Does any one have the route profile for the Long road race ?

Does any one know if this is a particularly hard race ? what is the junior bunch like ? around what time do they take to finish ? Thanks

I saw this bike at your shop, beautiful !!! when you going to sell the others ?

My average heart rate was in zone 2, is this normal for a race ? what should it be?

Do you guys start at the same place where city cycles start there ride ? i'm going to start joining this group.

I was just about go for a road ride, now i'm not to sure...

Its great racing!!!

Looks like i can't take part in it because i am new to ppa and don't have a seeding. Is there not a group for 'fun riders' or people like me ?
