Die Burger Road Race

['Dale]

I am planning too but I have a wedding to attend sat evening. Starting time for race is 5h57 and I want to be there at least 5am. That means leaving from Wellington 4h15 and getting up 3h30. I will have to make the call to ride or not sat evening midnight

 

You ready Dale?

 

Nearly ready.

Need more Zzzzz. Lots going on that keeps me away from lekka rest.

 

See you in the mix, man, with that new look machine, hopefully.

i have only done 1 long'ish ride of 108kms around the coast which included boyes, smits, chappies, suikerbossie, The Glen, Sinal Hill, through to Table View, back to Town and then home to Southern Suburbs and averaged 31km/h...

 

so im asking the more experienced riders, how will i cope if i should start in C?? or should i start later on, like maybe in G/H??

 

I reckon you'll be fine in C.!

 

Maybe pull me up Hels before riding off into the distance.?

Thanks, any news on the old or new Hels

I think you might cope in C, or what you could do is start in C if you get dropped on Hels hook up with the next group.

 

i think i might struggle to keep up on Hels because the bone still isnt fully healed so it pains a bit when i need to stand on the climbs....

Gonna miss Burger due to injury from DC. My arm is confined to a sling for two weeks. Atleast my entry went to a DC team mate who couldn't get one. Have a good safe ride guys 'n gals.

I smaak Old Hels with all its twists and turns. A pre-race warmup is essential to do well going up.
