Skubarra Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Ok, so 15-18 August Tour of Legends4-6 October 3 towers4-6 November W2W13-16 Dec Sabie. I can do that. Lets start entering. If that was my mtb schedule for the second half of the year I would also have to find myself a good divorce lawyer!
jcza Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 If that was my mtb schedule for the second half of the year I would also have to find myself a good divorce lawyer! At Tour of Legends and Sabie you can take family along. Loads to do for them and you don't stay in a race village. Wayne Potgieter 1

Wayne Potgieter Posted June 19, 2013 Author Posted June 19, 2013 you not stuffing around...I need incentive to lose weight and get fit. Paying a lot of money for a ride is great incentive to stop cocking about. ChUkKy 1
Mike Bike Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 I need incentive to lose weight and get fit. Paying a lot of money for a ride is great incentive to stop cocking about. so come join me and oompie (and maybe those youngsters ) at VG on Sat. Wayne Potgieter 1
Wayne Potgieter Posted June 19, 2013 Author Posted June 19, 2013 so come join me and oompie (and maybe those youngsters ) at VG on Sat.Ahhh....now we hit a problem. I have strange rules about things. I only spend time on the weekend with my family. No Golf, No MTB training etc. I train during the week, and enter events on the odd weekend. You guys fancy taking a day off and doing a ride during the week...im in. Appreciate it though.
madmarc Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 I would def put Lowveld Quest on your list for 2014

Skubarra Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) I take my family with always... I realise for each family it's different, and it sure looks like a nice list of races. But for me about 2 stage races a year is what I can handle while balancing the demands of a young family. For my wife & kids the problem is not so much the time I spend racing (and I take them along), but the time I spend training to be fit enough to do give it horns in a stage race (and not just survive the 3 days) Edited June 19, 2013 by Skubarra

For my wife & kids its the problem is not so much the time I spend racing (and I take them along), but the time I spend training to be fit enough to do give it horns in a stage race (and not just survive the 3 days)I completely agree. I am fortunate enough to be self employed, so I can train during the week. As a compromise, I do not indulge in anything over the weekend. It is only family time. However, I asked my wife if she would have an issue with me doing J2C, she supports me, but in order to prepare, I got to get used to riding in a group at a race. So I think a few races a year like this is not too bad. Plus she loves Legends Resort, so this is a win win for her Skubarra 1
Wyatt Earp Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Looks like you have a partner Mr. Badass, he is gonna have to train hard to keep up with you. Wayne Potgieter 1
