Yeah, I rode close to 60% of the race alone because of this. It didnt matter if you chase or sat up and waited.... i tried both...

One thing that wasnt nice, is there were no real peleton groups forming between groups j- n. I always felt like I was chasing a group. And when I got to them they were desolved already. Sometimes a group would form and a few km's down the road the gorup would split and you end up in the middle in no man's land. That tires you out big time. During the Engen we were big group riding together which was awesome. I was kinda hoping for the same here.... None the less, it was awesome! Cramps and all and all

I fully agree!!! Those rolling hills between Wellington and Klapmuts in the wind was eina!

Is it up yet?

I guess thats the main ingredient to a crampless ride!

I had a bottle of Cadence Nutrition, bottle of water ( refilled three times), gels and GU bars. Next time I'll definitely take cramp blocks along! Thanks for the advice. There was no way in hell not finishing. Luckily I know the road (my training backyard), so that helped with getting my mind right.

After the hill just after Klapmuts, one of your riders donning the CTG club gear decided that he will take the downhill on the far RIGHT side of the road (in the yellow line) with his helmet swinging from the handlebars. It might be something you want to look into. Thats just dumb (totally illegal) but dumb, especially if you ride for a club.

I was riding for 3:30. But at Klapmuts I started cramping. On krommereer I stood up to pedal and everything seazed. Every muscle in my legs (thats what it felt like) cramped up. I almost crashed. Luckily I could get my one cleat out. I literally stood in a single position for a couple of minutes before I could even move. Finished 3:57. At least a sub4. Any advice to avoid cramping like that again?

Goody bags are part of the show man! I can always do with another waterbottle.

haha thanks!

Ok i wanted to rant about no goody bags, but Jaco's problem is much much worse. Sorry to hear bro. Good luck.

Complicate it much? How the hell is the OP gonna determine that. Simplify it like this, For every 1kg the OP loses he needs 0.025watts less to maintain the same speed. See easy....????

This video showed it best for me...

The dude is good (very good), the dude that edited the video needs some work - cutting phrames in the middle of a sequence. Almost feel like a stop-motion movie!

You can stick with me. We're a whole group of Burger virgins...

Houtbay to Camps Bay overall (both ways) ,is in quite a bad shape for cyclists. All the best with your recovery.

This will be my first Burger, after surviving the Engen! Any hints ito planning my ride ( when to punch, when to recover etc)?

Haha, you got me till the end. Nice!

haha I might just slip on P and get caugth by my X....

Got it! i start in N! Not sure whether thats better or wors?

PPA seeding.... is there a difference? noob question, I know...

now its working.... Starting in T... Damn! Which means I'm probably in the last group....

Everytime I try access the PPA website to check my seeding, I get an internal server error message....damn edit: grammar

Or get a good second hand for 5k and use the 1k for a proper service (peace of mind) and some extras(bombs, tjoops etc)

Agreed. Go for something better second hand than entry-level new. You could pick up something really nice for 6k.
