fabes Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 And as you will discover on Sunday, the race only consists of up hills and therefore the return trip must be down hill...Eish...i get a pain in my gat thinking about doing this route in reverse
HDW Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 What time frame are you guys aiming to finish in? And what would you say is the average time of okes finishing?
fabes Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) What time frame are you guys aiming to finish in? And what would you say is the average time of okes finishing?Last year i did 6 hours 20min i think, this year i would like to go in between 5 and 5 and half hours Edited September 18, 2012 by fabes
covie Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) 4 hours serious race snake5 hours well fit6 hours fit'ish (repeatedly thinking to yourself you should have trained harder) 5 hours a week just wasnt enough.7 hours the optimistic crowd that know they should not have been there on race day.8 hours the slugish that thought it would be a good challenge but blame their heavy bikes for everything.

HDW Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Thanks for all the replies. Gave me a good idea. If I come in at between 5:00 and 5:30 I'll be happy. But I'll probably do 3.28
fabes Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Â 8 hours the slugish that thought it would be a good challenge downhill all the way but instead discover there are a few climbs along the way and then blame their heavy bikes for everything.Fixed
Cassie Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Why race it when you can have fun riding it?? stop - take in the nice scenery...you'll still get the same medal as the 4th place dude!! DRINK lost of water during the race...dronk LOTS of beer after the race... SeaBee 1
Wannabe Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 I'll be happy with around 5hrs. Avg of around 20km/h should be well within my reach (I hope ) eddy 1

Wannabe Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 How are we Hubbers gonna recognise each other? I don't know most of the guys personaly. A lekker cold one shared afterwards sounds like a great plan to me.
HDW Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 I've got a feeling there is gonna be same pain involved anyway, so let's see what happens. Is it a good idea to start in your early group to avoid some pile ups along the way? Or can I slip back a start group or two to ride with people who is aiming for the same (read slower) time that I have in mind? One last silly question: How open are they to guys filling up their water bottels at the water points?
