Amashova 2013

[Prozac]

I'm staying with a friend.

Would you be keen to do an EASY ride on Saturday morning ???

Maybe we can also get breakfast.

 

I am keen on a ride on Saturday morning. I'm staying in Blue Waters Bay hotel for the weekend ! around the corner from MMS.

 

please let me know when and where we can go for a ride ?

[Pusher]

Logistically this race is a nightmare- how is the weather looking.

I agree, especially if your on your own!

[b-rad]

Could possibly give a lift to one or two folk after the race.

Prozac, Cyclewizz is staying with me in Umhlanga. We will probably go past MMS. PM your details and we can meet up for a ride on the Saturday.

That is where a wife or girlfriend (that doesn't race) helps.

Another friend and his gf that is staying with us is taking us to the start. Four of us riding and he has a trailer with space for four bikes. Then his gf is going to drive the vehicle back. Probably ride back to Umhlanga after the race.

 

Where in Umhlanga are you staying?

 

Edit: I am also A. As is Cyclewizz as far as I know.

Talking about times, I've never done the Amashova before. I did Emperors Palace in 2:53 and Wilro in 3:28. Based on those times, what do you think I should aim for?

Does anyone know what will be happening at the starting area of the race? At the moment the whole street is still blocked off outside the city hall between church street and longmarket street and there is still no paving laid. It was supposed to be finished by September but as usual these projects always run over time and now they say the end of October.

It all depends on how you've been training over these last few months (it's been almost 6 months since either of the events you mentioned). The weather conditions on the 13th will also play a big part. I reckon that if you've maintained your fitness levels, and the wind is your friend on the day, you might just hit a sub 3.

Can anyone collect numbers on my and a friends behalf? we stay in Hilton, but dont mind coming to PMB to collect.

Last year I did a 2:44 but dropped my chain near the bottom of the first hill and had to chase hard. Think I managed to get back to the second group of A. The winning time for A was 2:39.

 

Garyvdm, what did you do 94.7 in last year. If I remember correctly the trend I sort of found was that Shova times were in the region of about +-10 minutes more than 94.7 times.
