Why? cos i am partners with Iron for the epic of cos of my unbelievable ability to climb??? Mike

so i am in group LL !!!!!! 9:40 start! Damn!

Hi all, Ok so Iron and I are partners for the epic. I rode the berg and bush this weekend, I finished day 1 in 8h47. was so shattered that I struggled for the 2 next days! I ended up pushing most hills, never realised how much a 1000m of climbing was!! I really busted my arse training for this event and thought i was feeling really good going into it. Can someone explain intervals? What sort of hours per week would one need to be doing to complete epic? work allows about 2 hours per week, over weekends I can do one 2 hour ride. Thanks for the help and advice guys. Mike

I might,

I really enjoyed the race, did the 70, and the single track was awesome!!! pushed a bit too hard in the beginning and paid for it later, but total blast of a day Mike

I am in line right behind Iron!!!

I race / ride HT, but thats my personal preference (racing snake in me) Mike

LOL!!! SS for training only, keep olde geared bike for the marathon/ stage races! Love the SS though!

Nice event, nice track, really enjoyed it Mate of mine took lots of pics, will post once i get them.

so my fully rigid SS is not the ideal choice!?

Hey Guys, What a total blast of a weekend!!! One of the best stage races in SA! Loved every part of the routes. especially the single tracks and the bush tunnels. We (Iron as partner for sure) will be back in force for next year! Mike

Looking forward to it!!!! Riding with Ian, the 2 skinny as hell okes on Cannondales!! Mike

Hi please can someone respond to these questions as ride is tomorrow night and needs some organising Mike

What about rider PLUS bike?? Mike

is this a group ride, or can we do our own ride? (small group of 2 or 3)? Mike

im in Mike

and sorry to break it to you, but 2 17mm open ended spanners and that lock is history in 3 seconds!! even for a skinny ass like me

me too, I remember no ones name!!

How fit are you? I get knee pain under my knee cap if I have a long lay off. after i get some strength back the pain disappears completely Also, you using same seat? at same angle? Q factor of cranks??? Basiclly is your setup identical? seat to pedals (height) and front/back / tilt? Q factor of cranks seat height to handlebar height Mike

LOL! I have never owned a road bike in my life!. Dirt all the way! Mike

Yeah, was an awesome ride thanks guys. Was good to meet the hubbers and have a face to the name on the forum. sorry we had to miss lunch and shoot, next time. Mike

So does that mean you not grumpy anymore? see you there? Mike

@eldron and Iron: As long as there are some 100m hills!!!!.....
