Wind was pretty sketchy the first 15km, how did the weather compare to the previous years with regards to wind ? Also is there usually no food / bars at water stations use to mountain biking where there is snacks / food at all the stations but again probably a much smaller field.
Want to try cycle at klapperkop this weekend ? Is it still boomed off and safe ? Cycled there begining of last year and was packed so hoping it is still the same
Just an update on this. Using the same wheels and tubes I was able to fir 28" tyres. Did a 84km raod race exactly same as last year with 25" and my time was roughly 3 minutes slower but effort was slighly less as average heart rate was about 10bpm slower.
Overall not nearly as sore as with the 25" tyres so definately worth it for me, would estimate lost like 0.5km/h so a no brainer of an upgrade.
Yeah don't have much time with work and family this year so going to swap long runs and try get some 5km and 10km PB's.
Goal is to try break the walking world records.
5km - 17:55
10km - 37:11 (Going to be a tough ask)
Anyone have tips for increasing speed, definately also going to hit the gym and build some muscle and hopefully avoid injury.
Hey Guys just have 2 questions:
1. Best area to stay ? (assume somewhere close to the start>)
2. IS it best to collect your bike the day before or the morning of the race (will use bike transport company from JHB/PTA)
Thanks
Blast from the past, I have Rudy Project glases and looking for new lenses. I bougth them from AGS a few years back but I see they have closed. Any idea where I can buy just these lenses ? Any place stock them or do most places need to order them in ?
Thanks
Yeah want a bit of both, happy with 30 but not sure my fork can take it, will also need to look at my brakes. Looking for wheel specials if anyone has seen some ?
Hey guys, looking to buy now wheels and move from 25mm tyres to 28mm tyres. Anyone seen any good deals on wheels / tyers ?
Don't cycle much with teh road bike maybe 2 races and 2 practise rides a year so looking for some extra comfort and a bit of stability
Pretty sure its a typo, did Mossel Bay last year and think it was around R 4k.
The amount of organization required (ocean safety, roads closed, nutirtion on the road) etc probably cost around R2-3k per athelete.
