Im in for the 68Km... first ride of the year... I am gonna *** off...

I use "My tracks" - Android for my rides.

I will be entering the 103km with only 3 x 60km rides under my belt so far this year. Cramps in-coming.

Condolences to you and your family during this time Wyatt.

Boom boom... No training at all, managed a 4h36 from group MM at 09:20.... cramped alot from 50km and walked a couple of hills... could`ve achieved a sub 4 if I had trained.... Enjoyed it alot more then last years suffering..

I did the 40km and really enjoyed it except for the last 6km of hill climbing(I am not moaning about the route, I am however moaning about my own fitness level - Damn i am unfit), I saw Traffic officers and volunteers at every intersection that i passed or turned at. Traffic will always be a problem unless there is full road closure. Full road closure equals higher cost for the event and closing businesses that survive off weekend turnover. I am satisfied that i got my moneys worth.

Bump...... No answer ASG?

Do we have to pre-collect our numbers on the thursday/friday or can we collect saturday morning at the race?

I am in MM if that counts for anything..... Serves me right for not doing a seeding ride/not training and having a shocking time last year.... IT IS GONNA BE A SERIOUSLY LONG DAY IN THE OFFICE FOR ME..... LOCK FACE PALMS HIMSELF FOR NOT TRAINING AT ALL SO FAR.....

2nd one this year, last year did it in 5h45min with no training and cramps from 45km onwards, this year I haven`t trained at all but managed the Meals on wheels 45km in 1h49min ending with a flat front tire.... Time to get on the bike and train as I would like to achieve any time better then 5hours and slowly work my way down to the sub4 next year, well thats the plan atleast - First however i actually need to cycle.

I was having a stellar ride, was sitting at a average speed of 30km a hour on the 45km race, legs were on fire from the turn around point the whole way to the end while fighting that terrible head wind and then i got a slow puncture with only 7km which made the hill climb on the second to last hill hell..... and landed up only finishing riding in slowly on my punctured front wheel at 1h49min.... However i am still happy even though i feel like crap this morning, I really need to train......

I will be doing the 45km with absolutely no training under the belt.... o well suffer i must......

nothing wrong with G batch.... Just own it and lead it.....

Thanks Guys.... time to get my A into G....

I am considering joining teamedenglen as i stay up the road and need the motivation to cycle as I have been battling to get out of bed in the mornings to cycle. My biggest problem is I am seriously unfit at the moment because I havent gotten onto a bike in almost 3 months due to work and flu and from what i have read earlier in the thread the groups have quite a pace and distance to them.

Looking for a Noobish group of cyclist to join on Tuesday and Thursday mornings - Top-end of edenglen/Croydon. Very unfit at present and need to get fit again.

I do the same but use slap chips with tomatoe sauce..... Chip chow....

Disc look awesome... I would be game.

Is dit al wat jy het om te gee?

Awe thats sweet....

@ carpet picture posters - I am going to have to report the pictres of those carpets as they are to rough for this thread ....... @ carpet - Try harder your attempts at getting a warning point are not been noticed by the higher powers to be.....

Any picture... just general guide lines for poor Shani!

How do you post a picture?

Anyone traveling from edenvale side to do the ride? I am willing to split fuel cost!

Heya Andy I am considering doing the 40km as a first ride of the year(scare the **** out of my body/wake up call) but Vanderbijlpark is just a little to far for Januarys pay check. If i do it i might have a minor heart attack due to my fitness level been non-existant but i will finish.
