Wonder Woman Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Thanks to Dave Tapson I will see you there Have you done this one before??
NotSoBigBen Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Have you done this one before?? Yes I have a few years ago when it was not 80k's though ..... can't be that tough there's no 'mountains' ala Sabie there
jmaccelari Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Lekker ride, but will be missing it this year - same day as the Wilro and as a committed roadie...
Garfield2010 Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Remember to dump your empty Gu sachets in the veldt. Apparently the antilope love them. (tong in kies)
Garfield2010 Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 How far is 80km on a MTB? In terms of raod cycling? 120km?
kosmonooit Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Depends entirely on the climbs and terrain. This route is mainly flat & fast, one climb, some single track and I would put the road equiv and 100-110 K's
_David_ Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 I think I'm gonna give this one a go, I will enter tonight.
