ibruegge Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 My first 94.7 exciting! Have no idea what to expect. Flying up the day before and hoping for the best...
Thedocter43 Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 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?

sometime Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 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 Posted August 28, 2012 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 Posted August 28, 2012 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 ?Â

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

mojopup Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Slowbee... in town there are plenty animals. Just dont get a flat there cause they may eat you. They are family of the rat but are MUCH bigger.
