Agteros Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Just paid and entered the event. Hopefully this will be a fast(ish/er) one. No funny bicycles, no riding with buddies. Just Go! Go! Go! Would like to do a sub 2:45, will have to wait and see what the day yields though
Garfield2010 Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 I wonder if this years race will be easier than last years 94.7? (or tougher??)
Agteros Posted June 5, 2012 Author Posted June 5, 2012 I wonder if this years race will be easier than last years 94.7? (or tougher??) Last year my bike weighed 20kg, and had one massively over geared gear. This year my bike will be a max of 8.8kg and it has 20 gears. It'll be easier!!!!
Garfield2010 Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 I mean in terms of the route? Although it is the same it is still different. Lots of factors people are unaware of.
RooiWillie Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Did a 3hour 20 last year... Started in Group R... Will like a a sub 3 hour this year. Good Luck!!!

MariusC Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 http://www.dinosaurh...gravity-39.htmlbwahahaha are you serious? I did a 5hour last year hoping to da a sub 4 this year. MTB with knobbies, No locked shox and 27gears
Agteros Posted June 5, 2012 Author Posted June 5, 2012 http://www.dinosaurhome.com/the-theory-of-the-increasing-of-the-earth-s-gravity-39.html This theory does not take into account that Joburg has become a hollowed out city, so less matter here which means a decrease in gravity Same route, or slightly different route through town should be manageable.
Mojoman Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Last year my bike weighed 20kg, and had one massively over geared gear. This year my bike will be a max of 8.8kg and it has 20 gears. It'll be easier!!!!20kgs? What did you have on it?
Garfield2010 Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 I will try for that ever illusive 3 hours..... I am running the Otter trail run however so I will only start serious cycling after 15th of October. What date is the 94.7? At least my weight will be the best it has been during that time of the year!!
Cav' Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 I would love to try it on a SS like Iron did last yea r- but i'm afraid i'll die Excite_Bike 1
Seeker911 Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 I will try for that ever illusive 3 hours..... I am running the Otter trail run however so I will only start serious cycling after 15th of October. What date is the 94.7? At least my weight will be the best it has been during that time of the year!! you and me both. The very elusive sub 3hr. The only time I ever managed a sub 3 was many years ago (when I was much lighter) doing a 2h58 the race in those days was called the star 100 and was actually 115km
Agteros Posted June 5, 2012 Author Posted June 5, 2012 20kgs? What did you have on it? Basket, mudguards, chainguard... the usual kinda stuff Scott2luvit, Slowbee, M L and 1 other 4
