DSC Posted September 16, 2012 Share Hi all, No team for me, but I would love to fill in somewhere even a shortish notice. If someone pulled out or if you entered a team without a full team please lemme know - I will be stoked to join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helpmytrap Posted September 17, 2012 Share ride, ride ,ride.try and complete a 140 km in October and another 1 in early November. the last 50 k's are the worst so save yourself for that , don't ride too hard/fast in the 1st 150.Well to give you an idea of my current fitness, before the weekend started I was sitting on 12 hours training since last Monday and then rode 108km in 4 hours and 1300m ascent on MTB (district roads) on Saturday. I'm also going on a 3 day training camp to Sabie on Thursday where we will be doing 4-5 hour rides on those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannabe Posted October 7, 2012 Share Does anybody have the total ascent of the ride? I have just been informed i need to ride....... Go look on their Website. Lots of info to be found there. Hope you are fit and able to do 202 km on one day. Not for the faint hearted this race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy Posted October 7, 2012 Share Go look on their Website. Lots of info to be found there. I have, and found the profile but could not find the total ascent. Do you know where it has been hidden ? Hope you are fit and able to do 202 km on one day. Not for the faint hearted this race. I hope so too ;-) I did the Trans Karoo in late April, 240 km my MTB without difficulty and i did 100 km with 1800 m of ascent in 3hrs48 this morning, so i suspect if i work at it for the next few weeks i may survive. Accepting the invite seemed like a good idea at the time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helpmytrap Posted October 7, 2012 Share Accepting the invite seemed like a good idea at the time....That's what I thought as well, then I heard that the team I'm riding in is looking for a top 10 finish. This will be interesting and probably painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to finish is a great deal easier than going for a 6 - 7 hr time.Unfortunately I lost a lot of my files with my last PC crash, so I cannot give you the ascent figures. Quite certain someone else ( My bet is on TinyK) will give you the needed info tomorrow.Are you riding the One Tonner? That will also give you a good indication as to your form.

eddy Posted October 7, 2012 Share . What time is your Team aiming for? Just to finish is a great deal easier than going for a 6 - 7 hr time. I know nuffink about the ride as i am a Vaalie, but 7 hr is the aim. Is that much tougher than a 2 x 3:30 august ? Are you riding the One Tonner? That will also give you a good indication as to your form. Sadly not, see point 1 above (-; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
