Roulier Posted October 17, 2013 Share Sometimes you have to stop. I am expanding my business and the monday after the Burger I pick up a new truck in Cape Town. That truck need to be kept on the road day and night to be paid, so no time for training anymore. Plus little Breezer will arrive mid December. Good luck with your expanding business venture. Always sad to see a good Hubber go. All of the best Breezer and enjoy your last Burger. PS! I still use those Mavic Aksiums for training I bought from you years ago. They haven't skipped a beat ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannabe Posted October 17, 2013 Share Did my first DC last year and then set my best ever Burger time a week later. I reckon it actually helped (ok, I know we had very easy Burger conditions last year) Conditions was near perfect last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cippo Posted October 17, 2013 Share Did my first DC last year and then set my best ever Burger time a week later. I reckon it actually helped (ok, I know we had very easy Burger conditions last year) Burger was awesome last year. Hoping to improve my time this year. Yes the DC training would actually help towards a good Burger. My first DC as well, just need to recover. Luckily I only have two work days that week following DC. walkerr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will just aim to enjoy the ride and atmosphere this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkerr Posted October 17, 2013 Share Entered, looking forward to this! Wonder how fast the entries will sell out, considering how fast the other road events have sold out this year. Nice one. Judging by your recent speeds on Strava, I don't think I'll be seeing much of you during teh ride - so hope you have a good one. Kudos for riding to/from the start of the WC express, must have been great day on the bike Pure Savage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos for riding to/from the start of the WC express, must have been great day on the bike It really was a great day! Met up with some fellow hubbers and rode in and then joined the masses on the way back. Wish there were more races/events that we could ride to. Many events I end up driving further than I cycle! Will see you at the end of the DC walkerr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyOnBike Posted October 19, 2013 Share I haven't done a race event yet as I'm still a newb, so I have a few questions I hope you guys can help with. I'm doing my first race event - the one in march where we ride through the western cape :-) Do you think Die Burger is a good practice run, maybe trying the 44km or rather the 97km. The furthest I've gone is 55kms so far. Also, I know there will be no road closures, but will there be next to the road support? P.S. I will be doing it on a mtb with slicks.
