I am the unfit oke. All my buddies have to turn around and come fetch me on rides. Its no good for the ego. Doing west coast this weekend and burger next 3 week later. I am sweating bullets!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am in the same boat. I dont want to do serious technical stuff, yet. Really want to do karoo2coast next year. Can this be done on a budget R5000 bike? I want to finish, not win

Sounds like my Sunday is planned then.Will keep an eye on this thread

What was the pace about.

how does mamba compare to Polka out towards Stellenbosch? That is my training hill

is there still going to be a ride on the 24th? But not a 33km/h one. I will not be able last up Hellies at that pace. I am looking more in the 25-28km/h region. It is mos the weekend of the DC so us unfit people will be left over .

Staying at Swartriet this weekend. Making it a family weekend. Can't wait for this ride, it is part of my training for the Burger. I really need it.

You guy are talking about a lot of money. At this rate I can not see myself ever owning a new bike. I scratch around in the classifieds for something and then I still have to approve it with household budget. This game is more expensive than golf!!! Then again, have you seen what a decent cricket bat cost for a school laaitie. Not under R1 000. Madness

I was thinking the same. Most road races don't cater very well for the stay behind partners. My wife needs to stay to look after the baby,

As someone that is very new to MTB. (My bike is still being bought) Where should I start riding. I live very close to Bottelary (Zevenwaght). But I know that there are a few entries into the hills. Where should I start

After 2 months and lots of calls and angry words I got mine yesterday. And, now it is raining in the cape so I can not go and test it!!

Just got a mail. This race is cancelled. Rats.

How many people where riding last night. I also want to do it, but the baby at home is bit demanding at this stage.. Hopefully she will start sleeping in the next 6 months

Can anyone get hold of the ppa site. Nothing is working there just some overseas site called pedal

What is the min that I need. As well as what is a reasonable to bad finishing time for the race?

are you asking me or my business partner? AKA the wife

Can I do it in on bike with no suspension? Just spend a lot of money on a proper road bike so have to do it old on my old bike. May not mortgage the house for a bike apparently.

About races in that part of SA. Does anybody know anything about a roadrace in Oudshoorn sometime in Sept or Oct? I need to plan my ride long in advance for fitness purposes.
