2013 Trans Baviaans 24 hour - Questions

[hboli4]

van wat ek hoor wil ek glad nie langs doen nie.

 

moet se ek voel nie so sterk soos laasjaar nie, maar kom ons kyk maar hoe gaan dit.

 

Wat is die algemene gevoel oor die volgende 2 naweke se oefening? steeds lang afstand met min intensiteit? of druk julle maar?

 

Ekt gedink dalk 2 70's(een pad en een mtb).

 

Ek doen nog die naweek 'n langerige ene (120) maar volgende week redelik rustig, sal seker 'n 80 of 60 erens oor die naweek doen.

Here's a video of the section after checkpoint 4.

Nice downhill.

Me too Jax, that was by far the toughest thing I've ever done.

 

But it looks like we might have a dry run this year (like in 2010)

 

2010 was actually a little too dry for my liking, I think we got feet wet only once!

 

Last year was great fun with all the crossings and I think the cold water did wonders for the legs.

All that trouble to

All that trouble to keep a little bit of water out your shoes. No thank you

 

Just saying

Watter gedeelte, die einde.

 

Daai gedeelte waar jy af ry na die rivier toe, ons het daar gestop om ag te kyk. Die snaakste was toe on twee ouens kry by die rivier, hulle het nie clue gehad wat besig is om te gebeur nie, hulle se toe hulle moet dalk 'n lig gaan haal vir deur die nag, ek vra hom toe waar gaan hy nou 'n lig kry, toe se hy hulle bly net so om die draai van daar af.

 

Daai manne stap seker daai bulte uit in die oggend om melk te gaan koop :-)

We did it at night last year - what a blast!!

There's a nasty right turn right near the top - we saw skid marks all the way to the edge..... was figuring - if that's the back wheel - how much over the edge was the front wheel!

 

When we got to the bottom, we looked up - the sky was black, and the mountain was black. But there was this tiny light - looked like a star... but it was screaming "yyyyeeeeeaaaahhhhaaa" - must have been a rider enjoying it like we did.

 

An experience I'll never forget.

Haha, brilliant. I know exactly what turn you are talking about. The Baviaans got me hooked from my first year I did it and that was the Langs Baviaans. Last year was my second and going for my third. Trained a lot less then previous years but still can't wait to take on this race / adventure again and again

Moet se, die liggies aan die ander kant uit was mooi.

My partner has torn his calf muscle but doc says it'll be OK, but we'll be doing it sloooww this time. Cannot wait, it'll be our first.

Thanks for all the tips, and Big Moz,thanks for the preview??

5de en laaste een? Hoekom? Elke jaar se ek nie weer nie, maar dan as ek klaar gery het kan ek nie wag om weer in te skryf nie!

 

Al wat mens vang is die oefening deur die winter en die lang ure op die fiets. Maar as jy op die begin lyn staan dan is al die harde werk klaar en dan is dit net om die race te geniet en klaar te maak!

Meet & Greet the Friday night?
