Kerchak Posted October 2, 2013 Share Fortunate to ride sections of the trail yesterday afternoon - Thanks Johan. Very bumpy (gesnyde graspolle) flat single track - awesome! Not gonna be a very fast race I'd say and concerned over the singletrack sections near the end; might end in qeues with slower riders not that competent, specially the uphill sections. Hope the seeding and starting plan works as well as at VGaalens. Worst is 'no beer' on Sat unless a miracle happens to get a license. So for now, bring cooler boxes. I am one of those slower riders. If you give me beer from your cooler box I will let you pass. Also saw some nasty thorns especially if you go of the track. So be carefull when you pass me.

Pants Boy Posted October 2, 2013 Share This will be me first race with cleats. I know that im gonna fall loads of time, so if you see me laying in the grass, wave and smile. Eina poor knie's...... I got cleats two days before the Curro race - not as bad as I thought. make sure they're loose (yes you can adjust candy's) and then practice practice practice. A neat trick to get used to before the race is to NOT clip in just as you start, use the middle part of your foot to get going and then clip in once you're rolling forward. Good luck!

rouxtjie Posted October 2, 2013 Share thanks for the help, sorry dont want to sound stupid, where do you adjust... this is when girls wants to ride with the boysYou can't adjust so much as you can set....with crankbrothers pedal you can adjust the float from x to y degrees by switching the cleats from left to right foot and vica versa....shimano you can adjust Edited October 2, 2013 by rouxtjie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pants Boy Posted October 2, 2013 Share It adjusts on the cleat (the part on your shoe) actually The cleat has circles/dots on it - if the cleat with two dots is on your right shoe they will release at around 15 degrees, if it's on the left shoe they will release at 20 degrees. Ie turn your foot more or less The springs auto adjust the tension so you can't set them like a Shimano SPD. MONS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandalf Posted October 2, 2013 Share is it possible for someone to post the starting times of each group. I had to wait like 3 hours at VG because I did not know exactly what time i was starting - I am not a happy camper when I have to wait around and do nothing (can only warm up so much) Edited October 2, 2013 by Gandalf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hennie VR Posted October 2, 2013 Share are there 10 min gaps again? Its on the Advendurance email they sent me.Read below: Updated Start times: Start times have been slightly adjusted, to allow for a better spread of riders on route, because only the first 10km is shared, we want to give you maximum freedom on the trails. For that reason we are making the time gaps at 10min increments. Marathon to start at 07:00 / Half Marathon from 08:30 / Fun Race & Fun Ride from 10:20 onwards.

Hennie VR Posted October 2, 2013 Share I thought I missed that somewhere. Thanks. But flip, half marathon, C, 8:50 in the heat of the sun again, oh joy I'm hoping for some cloud cover and a slight breeze but it seems I'm out of luck for this one as well. I feel sorry for the later bunches. When I got to ''Jou Bliksem" at VG I wished I went for a swim at the floating bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Winter Posted October 2, 2013 Share I'm in batch C for the half marathon but had to down grade to batch D so I could start with my slow friends Pants Boy and Nofearnofun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
