Berry Posted September 13, 2013 Author Posted September 13, 2013 With the weather forecast for the weekend the idt is the only way.
nazmo Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 So weather looking great this upcoming weekend walkerr 1
walkerr Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 So weather looking great this upcoming weekend  Does indeed. I'm a definite "no ride" sadly - have back-to-back DC team rides this weekend. Enjoy everyone!
Wannabe Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Looking forward to this ride. Gonna be fun fun fun!! nazmo and LRW 2
Ilana Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Can't wait - gonna be a fun day out on the bike!
nazmo Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Information still all good below wannabe? Proposed date: 05 October 2013.Two weeks before the One Tonner. No races on the weekend, as the Nelsons Creek Race was cancelled. Two weeks after the K2C, so the guys will be recovered. Two weeks also ample time to recover for the actual One Tonner on 20/10/2013Time: 06H30 !?Start venue: Shopping Complex at foot of Helshoogte (there is ample and safe parking)Riding Pace: The pace will be quite relaxed. It is an Recce Ride, not a race. Race Snakes can form their own group and go ahead.Backup Vehicle: Berry has offered a vehicle and driver as backup, so bring your extra "mix" and food with. ALSO BRING A FEW RANDELAS WITH TO HELP PAY FOR THE FUEL.
Skubarra Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 I thought the one tonner is a training ride for the DC, so you guys are doing a training ride for a training ride...
Wannabe Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 I thought the one tonner is a training ride for the DC, so you guys are doing a training ride for a training ride... Â Not everyone is riding the DC.And you do not have to join. (but you can) Skubarra 1
walkerr Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 I thought the one tonner is a training ride for the DC, so you guys are doing a training ride for a training ride... Â But also a seeding ride this year too ... nazmo 1
nazmo Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Im doing it as a seeding race actually walkerr 1
walkerr Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Im doing it as a seeding race actually I reckon many will. Being a tougher ride, it should have a higher beta, but with teams riding their should be plenty of fast groups to draft for a decent time. We'll be at "DC team pace" (whatever that is by then) - but if riding solo, I'd definitely be looking to hitch a tow or two and turn in a decent time.
Guest Frail4Life Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 I'm in, but not for 7:00 hours. I'm willing to lead a slightly faster group and aim for about 5:30. But there will have to be at least 6 of us. Let me know who's keen.RydoggAre you still going for a fast training ride? Is Sat or Sun?
