    6 years ago I started in "PP"...it was the LAST group and Wackhead still made a note of that, we were indeed the last group out LOL... Only started cycling 6 weeks before the race (got a late entry substitution from someone) - was also my FIRST ever cycling race - the route was still on the N14 (I miss that, because long small-ish up and down hills are my strongest point) - was very surprised to have a finish time of 3h39. I was only 39th in the PP group, so there were a few racing snakes that started with us. 6 years on I would not want to miss even ONE year and totally love the race...just go out and enjoy it and good luck with the 4 hour bench mark...you might even do better than you think.

    Agreed - components are exactly the same on all bikes...basically only the frames and wheels are different with handlebar / stem / saddle in the mix. And this price tag for a semi-soft tail I guess that new Titan Duel suss with 11-speed XT/SLX mix does not look that bad anymore @ R30k LOL

    Also the reason for the aggressive saddle position...Just B@lls to the wall from start to finish

    In the same boat with a kid in the mix missus and I trained almost every day...but can not picture my life anymore without our son...makes life so much sweeter and rewarding! Train when I can and do the races for fun and just enjoy them...

    Not so easy to read...but it's a Merida Scultura 907. Black stickers on Black Carbon...no paint. Awesome ride and I just LOVE the BLACK on BLACK Fairly light @ 7.3kg (including pedals and excluding saddle bag and bottles).

    Awesome thanx, looks like you were on 2:03:39 @ the 70km mark then 2:10 should still be okay for a sub 3...depending on how we feel after the first 70 fingers crossed...
