G-Unit Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Hey, any new takers for Cape Pioneer? About a month to go! Training is going a lot better, so really looking forward to this.
Musashi Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 I'm doing it solo and really looking forward to it. The route looks great. Time to up the training a notch!

Heading out to Breedt's early tomorrow morning for some proper climbing. Hope the weather's not too k@k. After that, gonna be reducing the volumes and going for shorter, faster rides. Can't wait for this race.
Musashi Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 I still need to do a few long rides, but there are a few weeks left for that. The long weekend in the Cederberg will be a huge riding weekend and then easier from there.
kandui Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Decided to jump on the Pioneer wagon at short notice and will ride it. I am thinking of bringing along my wife to do the massage. Anyone out there still wanting to book massages? Let me know.
Gerhardc Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Hi guys (and gals), I'll will be seeing you out there. Also doing it solo (@musashi). Still doing a few road races up here in Gauteng (Auto Alpina and Race for Victory) plus few longer MTB rides and topping off the training with the Isuzu 3 Towers 3 day stage race at Mankele the weekend prior to the CPT. Looking forward to some awesome riding and trails....together with awesome race villages and atmosphere!!

Did you do the Auto Alpina MTB race too? Edited September 10, 2012 by Underachiever

Looking forward to some awesome riding and trails....together with awesome race villages and atmosphere!! Joh, that's pretty brave! I briefly (<1s) considered doing 3 Towers as I have done 2 already. But it's the weekend before - aren't you worried about putting too many k's in the legs? Cool that you're doing CPT - see you there.

nathrix Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 This year it will be the first time I will not be riding the CPT since it started in 2009 I still think it's one of the best organized stage races in South Africa that just puts a smile on your face every single day of the trek! Every day is a challenge, but it's very rewarding after riding over that finish line and realizing you went through hell and back a few times in your mind. The beautiful scenery also makes up for k@king bricks on some forgotten routes I call gems of the Klein Karoo. Enjoy! G-Unit 1
