  1. Awesome stuff bud! All the best. You will be fine there
  2. Last year we did 2:26 in the lead B group! Could've went quicker but we cruised for a while after catching the accident in the Elite ladies bunch & missing an accident too near the finish. Going to be racing A this year!
  3. In the days preceding the race, I usually eat Pasta & Rice dishes. Pasta is perfect for Carbo loading. Aim for Carbs from Friday evening. Try & have your breakfast at least 2 hours before your start. Bowl of Oats, some Toast & Coffee will go a long way. Cereals are fine too. Banana's are a must. Try & sip on an energy drink before your start, staggered intervals, not too much, then you will run to the bush. Try and eat every 30-45 minutes after your start, a bite of an energy bar or a gel every 45 minutes should be ok. 5 hour ride would require some sort of Carb replacement. (Banana's, Energy bars, Biltong, baby potatoes or gums) Also, sip on your bottles every 15 minutes or so. PS - Don't eat anything your body is not use to. Don't try new products as well. Other than that, enjoy your race!
  4. Feels so good seeing my name on Page 1 of results! (Albeit without the Elites/ Vets)
  5. Bad post nasal drip & flu 2 days ago... Over medicated with Anti-Histamines, Corenza C & ACC 200 Feel OK but I'm still heavily congested... Vicks to clear the muck by the weekend hopefully!

    Looking forward to this race this weekend.
  12. Good race all in all. Expected more riders in total but very few entered it seems. Awesome marshaling, nicely organised and great day of racing. Weather was good. Lots of cross winds but weathered the tough winds. Started in A, Shew, Pace was hectic. Got dropped on the main climb to the turn around. Picked up some fast guys on the way back. 4 of us from about the 70km till the end. Averaged close to 38-41kmh at times. Thanks guys for sharing the load/pace & getting us through. Finished on 3:03 Just missed my sub.. But Chuffed with 3:03 for a 110km race.
  13. Race Entered. 1st Time doing this race. Hectic Drag in the middle I see.

    Exactly a year since I started Road Cycling. Was an awesome race, lekker fast & flat (If route is still the same) with a slight bump Those railway tracks are a tad trickey, but nice route. Looking forward to this.
  15. Sorry to hear! Wow, glad you still alive to tell the tale... Always meet at a Police Station or somewhere in Public...

  18. My First Start in the A Bunch as well with bmw1za. That START... Wow, managed to hold on and stuck with this bunch till about 45-50 km... Got picked up by the chasing bunch with a few strong riders. Latched & stayed until the end, awesome bunch to ride with. Lady in Pink..Kudo's Guy in Complete Cyclist kit with Pink Socks too... What a learning curve!! Potholes were scary tho..

  24. Hahah, This here we will Nail this race bud... Also starting DL
  25. How about those hills when you come out of Silverstar Casino opposite the Sasol on the N14 in Krugersdorp? Hectic climbs, just when you think you're done, another steep climb comes up! We call it Hill Snacks! Paardekraal Drive until Ontdekkers
