Thedocter43 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Hi guys. I'm 15 and I really want to be a professional when I am older. What sort of time should I be looking for if I know I could be a pro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sometime Posted August 27, 2012 Share Hi guys. I'm 15 and I really want to be a professional when I am older. What sort of time should I be looking for if I know I could be a pro? Under 3 hours at the least but actually impossible to answer with any authority. Certain cyclists are very talented when they're young but never achieve anything as pro's, whilst some top pro's only started riding seriously in their late teens. Just go out there, do your best and keep training hard. If you're good enough you'll find our soone enough. No race result as a 15 year old is going to give you that answer.

Guest Posted August 28, 2012 Share And here I am considering doing the race on my mtb with knobblies. I have no idea what kind of time I would be looking at  did a 4h20min last year on a 14.5kg full suspension 29er. wasnt going for a time, but rather a finish.so I'm sure you can do a sub 4h.

Slowbee Posted August 28, 2012 Share Hi guys, I am from Cape Town, done an argus or two before, in about 6hrs30 (give or take). Will I be able to finish the 94.7? How will the altitude affect my time ? I see the route is on a highway. What is there to see, other than concrete? Most importantly how do you replish the beer keep hydrated ? Do you wear masks to keep the pollution out ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry too much about the pollution, you might be sick for a couple of days after the race due to it but don't worry it will wear off. Biggest problem is the wild animals, this is Africa after all. TheCuban 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
