Blue Monster Posted June 3, 2013 Share Thanks a lot.I suppose that you can start in a lower start group as per normal races, but then you have to start in that group for the rest of the event. Did I understand this correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guy in Pink Posted June 3, 2013 Share The Comrades are those guys who are not really into racing it, but would rather ride with friends who fall into different catergories from each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EZRider Posted June 3, 2013 Share After doing 8:51 in the saddle on day two of Sani, 5.5 hours is a very short ride! lol If it took you 8:51 for Sani Stage 2 you will really struggle to do a 5:30 Kremetart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agteros Posted June 4, 2013 Share Yup, the tog bag van is a great help. No need to carry stuff with you like a pack rat on tour. Are we doing a hub get together before / after the race? (Pasta evening before, party after the event...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My riding partner was ill on Sunday, I think we are good for a 6:30/7:00 Sani day 2. Road cycling is also a very different story - looking forward to it.
