I think Strava must give the Guys doing it on MTB's extra Incentives, because its much Harder riding those km's on a Mountain Bike.

 

What about for total ascent? Elevation gain?

[jcza]

Yip.

There should be a milestone award for 4000 metres + ascent or something like that.

the whole point of this challange was to get the guys in the northern hemisphere cycling in the cold, 500km in -5 is an achievement. 500km in 26 degree sunshine is average at best. so be a man and double the distance if you want it to be comparable to the poor blokes in the cold countries.

Did you attempt to double the distance it to claim your manhood?

 

If so, impressive.

I Agree, but our average her in Komatipoort is 40'C. Thats bloody hot. Your sports drink taste like hot kettle water after 5km.

But hey, what doesnt kill you makes you stronger.

and 4772 m climbing

[Leg breaker]

504km all together. 150km +/_- MTB. Will check ascent, its probably a lot because it's all done in JHB... This place is one big hill. Sadly have to do another 110 tomorrow. Legs don't feel nice.

So 1000km on a MTB does not equal 1000km on a road bike.

I was not very good at Maths at school, but 1+1 = 2 I think.
