nazmo Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Wow, those times are incredible. As an utter Noob, who only started cycling 2 months ago, I can say that just finishing yesterday was an incredible feeling. Physically the toughest day that I have ever experienced, and it adds some great perspective. Definitely boosts confidence when faced with 100km races in normal conditions. I might have been swearing at myself for 3 hours when riding solo into the wind, but was worthit. Mads, dee_biker, LRW and 4 others 7
cobus3000 Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Sooo....I made it to the finish before the cut-off time on my (VERY) heavy 26er mountain bike. Was feeling great most of the way except when I managed to lose the group I was in on the stretch after Malmesbury, on the R304. Solo into the wind...but I made it anyway. If it was not for the 2 really awesome guys who took pity on me and cycled in front of me for about 40kms, I prob would not have made it. Awesome sportsmanship! Well done to everyone who finished in that weather! PS: Not doing this on a mountain bike again! Denny Menchov and nazmo 2

Yes, I saw a few guys on mtbs with knobbles and was admiring their fitness and tenacity at the same time as wondering about their sanity cobus3000 1
