Seems like I am the crazy one here....... I can eat breakfast of muesli and yogurt before a ride..... After 2:30 of not eating anything I hit the wall so hard that just pedaling becomes a hell of a mission. After 2 hours of riding I have to start taking food/gels on board otherwise I will bonk. I do take coke sometimes but I feel funky afterwards so usually take one bottle coke and one water, and usually finish the water before the coke.

Sherbet, I am not even married yet or in a serious relationship and now you guys are scaring me. That being said I already irritate the living daylights out of my parents with my cycling, even though I do it early in the morning before anybody gets up. It's only on weekends where I ride a bit longer but I am usually back home by 10. And then from there we still go and put in a full day's work and the house I am renovating. I ride 8 to 12 hours per week as my work obligations don't really allow for more. I understand one has to be considerate to others but I think a lot of people just don't get why we do it.

I have to say in the Rothdene/Riverdal side of the Vaal Triangle very few people came out. Me and my dad only encountered about 5 solo cyclists and 2 or 3 solo runners. But I saw the same thing, the african people going to work or town had masks on, but the european guys cycling/running nada. It was a bastard riding with a mask on but I don't want to screw things up.

I am just curious as to how they will interpret me and my dad riding together because I still stay with them so we always ride together. Last thing I want is arguing with an official because he says we are not allowed to ride in a group but yet we stay in the same house....... Because my dad is ready for tomorrow as he hates the IDT whereas I don't mind it

Anybody riding the Satellite Classic this year? Doing it despite being so overpriced due to the lack of road races on saturdays.

Has anybody been able to ride the route or create a GPX file of the route?

Would love to participate in this race, but don't even want to think about trying to find 11 additional crazy individuals..... :wacko:

I just dunno why most of the races are on sundays . I don't race on sundays due to religious reasons, but more and more races are moving over to sundays.

I am currently an intermediate level cyclist but have been interested in the triathlon scene for quite some time now. However, I absolutely suck at running, and can just keep myself from drowning in water, nevermind swimming. My coach does incorporate running as part of my cross training, but I don't want to make a total switch over to triathlon training before I tried one race at least. Would it be possible to train for a triathlon like this or would I have to put my entire cycling training program on hold for a while and train specifically for an event like the IM 5150? Also some of the triathletes really impress me when we race with them on cycle races as they can ride really hard so I am not too worried that my cycling performance will go down much if at all.

I am doing this race solo........ Dunno if I am nuts or what.

I have been offered an entry for the half marathon, but I am mostly a road cyclist. Would it be a good idea to attempt it? Because I am just scared it might a technical course....

Hi Everybody, I am new to the competitive cycling scene, but not new to cycling as I did cycle a lot as a kid. But currently I have started taking in more seriously after my Uncle that does road cycle racing introduced me. I have an AAAAAAAAAncient road cycle and a Makro special TOTEM MTB. But I am more interested in the road Bicycles than MTB..... Regards
