dirtrider Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Entered 70km SS. Last year's race was my first 70 ever and I cramped from 40 to the end in over 4 hours, in that stupid wind. The race got the better of me last year, not so in 2013. Bring it ON. This time, it's personal. Never done it before . What ratio for you on SS ? Will 34/16 be fine ?
divernick Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Never done it before . What ratio for you on SS ? Will 34/16 be fine ? Last year I was not that fit and almost died. I was running 32x17 on a rigid 26er. Now I am on a 29er and will be running 32x18 or 16.....yet to decide. Edited June 10, 2013 by divernick
Mr SingleTrack Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 I am going as well but I will only be doing the 40 this time around. Done to much LSD and I need to work on my race pace so the 40 should work well for HIT
schizo Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 So still pretty new at these races, but I see on the 40km, for #1 guys are doing it in 1h30, If I'm working that out right its 26km/h average which is very quick for mtb, or is that pretty standard and the terrain isn't that technical? What would be a good average?
Vlamrouge Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 I did Hazeldean last month on a 22km/h average. Wasn't expecting it, but sounds like the terrain will be similar at Cullinan. So hoping to break the sub 2 this time around. Can't wait. The plan is to sleep over in Cullinan. Do the beer "tasting" thing proper.
schizo Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Ok, so can aim for a better average than the magalies monster at least, In that case I would be happy with anything close to 2 hours
madmarc Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 I Know this is fairly flat, but does anyone have or know where to find a route profile for the 70km
