Kerneels Posted July 8, 2011 Share We are a group of friends that wants to cycle from Bloemfontein to Cape Town next year. 26 Feb - 06 March 2012 EDIT: We need 4-6 people to join as some of the people that were going with cancelled.Any hubbers that would like to join our "Cycle Tour" PM me your email adress and I will send you further details. (Edited 15-11-2011) Could someone that did someting similar maybe give me some tips? What to do, what not to do and some training tips, as one tends to get lazy during the cold winter months.

KnobbyMech Posted July 8, 2011 Share Don't worry, it's downhill all the way. @FRAIL is probably the best guy to speak to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Brunsdon Posted July 8, 2011 Share Thought it was a post from David ... yeah, speak to FRAIL, knowing him he would sommer ride up to Bloem just to meet you guys and keep you company on your way down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted July 8, 2011 Share I did it from PE to Cape Town.Had 1 day rest and i never felt that good on a bike again. Took 10 days to cover 795 km. Stay off main roads,take lots of spare tubes and tyres.Spare chain will also help.Depending on how many you are let traffic dept know when you will be in there area. Hope you will have a back up car with you. Where will you be eating and sleeping at night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeTurbo Posted July 13, 2011 Share What did FRAIL do the ride from Cape Town to Joburg in? Something like 4 days - then the 94.7 (or 97.4, whatever) twice, then rode on back the next day. Bloem's an afternoon's outing for him ... but don't let that put you off. It's something the rest of us would love to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What to do, what not to do and some training tips, as one tends to get lazy during the cold winter months. Well you have 7 months if you start Training now? I dont know if You/ Group has any Work/ School commitments? 1000km over how many days? I HAVE ALWAYS DONE MY TRIPS OVER A SHORT TIME. BECAUSE WORK/ LEAVE ALLOWABLE.Stops/ Days. More Stops/ Days = Needs more budget. Road Bike/ MTB. What bikes will you/ Group be using? I WOULD SUGGEST ALL USING ONLY ONE. SAVES ON THE AMOUNT OF SPARES YOU NEED TO CARRY/ TUBES/ TYRES/ CHAIN.
