Seeker911 Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Well it looks like summer is eventually on its way for us Randburg / Sandton based folks. As I cruised to work this morning at 5h45 the temperature did not drop below 11.5 degrees and was quite pleasant. This should be good news to all of you who may be like me and abhor cycling in near zero temperatures. So with about 6 weeks to go I know what I will be doing most mornings from now till Oct 7. See you good folks at the Engen garage on main street ready to ride 5am sharp.

Seeker911 Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 How far you ride and on which days?Also what time you finish plus minus? The main bunch leaves 5am sharp. The route could be anything from 40 to 60k's and generally takes about 1.5 hrs. The bunch currently consists of hard core all winter A group riders who do nothing under 30k's an hour. I suspect that from Monday onwards the bunch will get more interesting with all sorts of slower riders joining, like me. Depending on yr fitness you will end up riding in a bunch suited to your fitness. What usually happens is the slower groups use shortcuts to try keep up with the A group and finish by 6h30. So in the beginning your distance will probably be about 40k's then as you manage to keep up with the faster groups it will increase as you take less shortcuts. Just a word of warning you need to know the route more or less. If you get blown off the back of a group you are on your own until another group, if there is one, catch's up with you. This is a Mon-Fri ride and is NOT club specific and there is no club representation whatsoever. So if you see guys cruising through red robots and stop streets don't point fingers.
Devinash Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 What are the chances that this will be a wet suit legal race in Oct?
B-Active Sports Posted August 28, 2012 Author Posted August 28, 2012 hi guys Its quite likely that it will be a wetsuit swim, its still quite chilly in Howick this time of year. We will be at the dam next week thursday for meetings and will take the water temp and post it. If its borderline on the day we will push for a wetsuit swim, but it comes down to the TSA officials. Happy Training... 6 weesk to go! Follow us on twitter for up to the minute updates: @MidlandsULTRA

Garfield2010 Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Best dip that thermo real deep otherwise we will send the garf claw your way for renewed inspiration You dont want that believe me. The following days headlines will read something like "Midlands Ultra cancelled moments before scheduled start as the race director dissapeared under controversial circumstances - still missing"
