Speed Racer Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 It's almost that time of the month again. Any Hubbers riding Audax on Sunday?
Speed Racer Posted July 26, 2012 Author Posted July 26, 2012 Where and when and what do I need? For details: www.audaxsa.co.za
Spurs Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 I'll be there, this will be my first Audax. Any Advice? Doing the 200km.
Underachiever Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 I'll be there, this will be my first Audax. Any Advice? Doing the 200km. Not sure how fit you are? But go slow (25 km/hr avg), don't try to ride alone. Fuel properly - at every control point. Have fun and be safe
Speed Racer Posted July 27, 2012 Author Posted July 27, 2012 Will see you there. Will the super size cyclist. Allright. W3RN3R. Looks to be a cold start 'round 0 deg C. Wind will be a bit on an issue as the day heats up (15 km/h from the West).
Speed Racer Posted July 27, 2012 Author Posted July 27, 2012 I'll be there, this will be my first Audax. Any Advice? Doing the 200km. Not another Spurs fan ;-) Should be another fine day. Think Underachiever summed it up. Eat drink lots. You're going to burn between 6000 and 8000 calories! Don't get dropped. There should be a variety of groups of differing abilities, so staying bunched shouldn't be too much of an issue.
W3RN3R Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Some additional information: Herewith is the Route for the abovementioned BRM.The option exists for you to choose to ride the event in one of two formats.Common to both formats is the outward and return aspects of the route.That is, Salisbury House to the Crossroads R550/M61 at Kliprivier and return.The first option is as described in the attachment:>> Henley on Klip>> 3 Rivers>>Heidelberg and returnvia the R103 and R550 to the M61 Xrds.The second option is to use the same route in reverse from the R550/M61 X rds.That is; from the X Rds>>Heidelberg>>3 Rivers>>Henley on Klip>>back to the R550/M61 X rds.The choice is yours. If you think you might like to exercise the second option please let me know.I will send you the alternative Route Sheet.However; here is the bonus; you can decide on the day which option you would like to take!Cheers and safe riding.TET.
Spurs Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) Thanks guys, there's 3 of us riding together, we'll try stick with one of the other groups. I think my fitness is fine for 200km, my biggest issue is usually my drinking and eating, need to be pedantic here. oh and also "COME ON YOU SPURS!!!" Edited July 27, 2012 by Spurs

Spurs Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 COYS! What sort of pace you planning on riding at? No idea hey, I'd hope for 25kmph or so? And you?
Speed Racer Posted July 27, 2012 Author Posted July 27, 2012 No idea hey, I'd hope for 25kmph or so? And you? Sounds about right. Keen to crack on and get in early. Will see who's riding and how we get on.
