    Karoo to Coast

    My FD broke just after ou wapad. Had some middle ring and not all the big gears. Did two climbs like that and the legs felt the strain. Had to stop and do a backyard mechanic job to get it going again, but by then the damage was done. So my first k2c dealt me a few blows, but next year I tell you..........NEXT YEAR!

    I hit a 62.7km/h. I weigh a mere 60kg tho. Need to build some muscle to get more speed I guess

    Does anyone have a GPX file? I have a Bryton, but any gpx would work. Tx
  7. Oh, probably had to mention my Max HR is 186Bpm
  8. Hi Guys, If someone could share some knowledge it would be great. I am fairly new in the MTB scene and have done about six races this year. I am not the fittest out there, not by a long shot, and I unfortunately smoke (which will hopefully change soon). I noticed that my last race (yesterday) and about two others before that my Average Heart rate is about 175BPM. When looking at my Bryton stats, my HR stays in zone 7 for most of the race. I do push myself and I really want to achieve something and not just sit in the bunch. Below are the stats from my last race: Riding time 02:02:50 Riding Distance 29.27 km Altitude Gain 508 m Calories Burned 2084 Kcal Avg Temperature 9.1 oC Difficulty Level 3 (44) Avg Speed 14.3 km/h Avg HR 175 bpm Avg Cadence 83 rpm As you can see not the best out there, but I must admit I had cramps and have had this knee problem for a second time. I am hoping once I get the proper setup for my bike my knee issue will be sorted. What I do want to know though is my HR. Is it safe etc to be in this zone for about 2 hours? Any other advice would be appreciated.....that goes for the knee issue as well. Thanks
  9. 581m.........Can I say it again.....581m and it seems like its gonna be a wet one as well. Interesting time ahead!!
