5 minutes longer than last year. hills were steeper and was too moeg after the jan smuts/homestead hills to make up time on the highway. Well organized at always. Found this route harder than the old one. Kudos to all involved and huge respect to those who improved on last years time

Did a 947 route recon today with Design in Motion (Kudos to them for a great ride) Couple things I found: 1. First 20 km's a lot easier than advertised 2. Homestead and Jan Smuts make up for that 3. The end isn't as easy as advertised. Starting from Woodmead there are about 5 steep climbs and they won't look pretty with 70 kms in the legs. Still excited for an epic ride

We r riding opn the same side of the highway as last year but in the opposite direction. Going the other way round Kylami

This inaugural season of the MSL might just be a let down due to all the players being away but future editions may prove to be quite something.

Does anyone know when reseeds will be released

My legs say I'm going to wheel suck all 95kms and then celebrate like I pulled the whole way. Just hoping that my group isn't too quick

I for me, that good enough for a 3:20?

Howzit guys, asking for a friend. How do late entries get seeded? Does a re-seed come included in the late entry fee?

We're still about 5k entries less than last year with only 3 days to go. So much for the grand reversed route marketing scheme. Still should be an awesome ride and the downwards m1 is going to be great.

To think that I've just spent part of my weekend reading 8 pages about the price of socks

Back to protea news. After that performance against Sri Lanka, we might just struggle against Zim. Also, Anyone rate AB will come back for the world cup?

Read all 18 pages like a novel, would still be interested to know if Joe was actually selling for a friend or if he was selling for gumtree

There are many charities that give away free entries. I am organizing a team for the DL Link (cancer support group, they do incredible work.). We are being sponsored by Liberty so the next 40 riders to enter will get free entry.All you have to do is raise R1800 and you get entry kit and a worthy cause to ride for.

Just don't trust myself to peel it while on the bike

For those of you who rely on bananas for survival, do you keep it full in the peel or do you slice it and put it in a bag?

Thx mate, will definitely try the baked potatoes. Last year I stopped for a minute for a peanut butter sandwich and when I got back on the bike, the peanut butter obstructed my breathing so I'll be giving it a miss this year.

Can anyone advise

Mate of mine did 2:50 first lap, took a break mid laps at our charity's tent (DL Link) and dropped out on the highway on his second loop as he was puking

What is the wind going to be like for the race

Just stating the rule, for me it's worth the effort to get back on the road after I've killed my self once

Doing it for my 4th year. I recommend riding for a charity. What do you guys reccomend in terms of grub for the ride. Preferably cheap and home made. edible and not too sticky

You have to do a sub 3:30 the previous year in order to enter for the double loop

How to I download pictures that I paid for before the event?

Quote: So Cycle Challenge messed up big time on my starting time and my rather extensive efforts amounted to only a partial remedy. So for me that means s tarting in Z at 8:10, half an hour after I should be. Anyone else starting in Z looking for around 3:40? Hey all. So I got my race pack and it appears that Cycle Challenge fixed up my starting time :clap: Looking forward to riding in R
