Die Burger Cycle Tour

[alsoran]

I only know a few faces - Wannabe, SeaBee, Berry and Allez - so if I spot them I might get to meet the others.

 

Better add my face to that list otherwise you might not get your jacket back

We should get Hub shirts made. saw a design at Anatomic, but have never seen it at a race. But maybe I race to slow for most Hubbers...

Are you sure? Who would that be - Juniors, Elites and Vets not making the $ cut?

 

Same as last year as well.

Also a lot of PPA A-D seeded riders in there as well.

Doing my first burger, starting in the C bunch. Very excited

 

Not quite sure how i'm going to go about it, thinking ill try get to the front of the chute and then stick with the front of the group up Helshoogte... Would there possibily be breakaways on this climb? Not sure if I would try stick with the break away or rather save my energy and stay in the bunch.

 

First time I race with a decent seeding so don't know what to expect. Very keen though!

The bunches will be massive.

Zipping up Helz, there's always the frontrunners, the middle and those lagging that haven't the form on the day.

 

E.g. If you stick with the middle performers of C bunch TO THE END, you will finish well around 2:40ish, barring crashes or punctures.

 

In the faster bunches, concentration is key. WATCH THAT REAR WHEEL.

 

Good luck, man.

Just need something to identify each other with. Sticker on the Helmet will work...but we need something for this weekend. Also a gazebo branded Thehubsa

You know me?!

 

There goes your reputation! Just to make sure - you're the one with the new bike?! (Got the name and not the hubname, but recalling threads, I think it's you!)

 

BTW, my hair is usually much shorter than yesterday, I got some comments about it already... My chirp in return is I'm planning on braids (you know those corn-types...) for Burger!

Hub labels.

I will just wear my Wig!

Starting in J this year. Did a 3h21 last year, starting in W.

What's the chance of a sub 3? Held back a bit last year due to fear of cramping.

The first 14 riders in J did sub 3 with the fastest time being a 2:44 last year.

Okay, thanks so definitely doable then!

[cadenceblur]

What would be a good 30km split? Considering Hels in the beginning?

This was my 1st race ever on a really heavy mountain bike...
