DJR Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 Looking forward to this one and I like the slight change. I always hated the short N7 section.
HDW Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 I was a little caught up in DC training at the time so did not manage to enter that ride, regret it now :/Not too worry, I'm sure we can get a couple guys together for a recce ride or two closer to the race. lucmccann and Wannabe 2
Skubarra Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Looking forward to this one and I like the slight change. I always hated the short N7 section.  Climbing up Adderley and Malanshoogte you might just miss that short N7 section! A bit sad that its shorter but the masochist in me is glad they kept the Vissershok monster! But now its really a 99er and not a 108er called a 99er  The gravel section is going to be interesting though, not sure I'm looking forward to riding that in a group Edited December 3, 2013 by Skubarra Servetus 1
Reg Lizard Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 Jip will be one for the mountain goats ....en nie vir die dikgatte soos ek nie...daai laaste 3 klimme (Malans, Vissers & Oddendaal) sal 'n man laat bloei en dit na die Adderleystraat rollers Micky Mouse 1
T-Bob Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013  The gravel section is going to be interesting though, not sure I'm looking forward to riding that in a group  Do it Roubaix style, on the front or first 5 wheels. Keeps you out of trouble.
DJR Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 ............................. But now its really a 99er and not a 108er called a 99er ........................... Yes, I also like the idea of a 99km 99er, I suppose it's an "orderly mind" thing. Skubarra and eeeek 2
'Dale Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 Anyone got some good climbing drills?  Malanshoogte Climb x 5Ascent at 75% effort. Time yourself.Repeat or lower time with each new ascent. (You'll sleep well that evening...)
HDW Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 Malanshoogte Climb x 5Ascent at 75% effort. Time yourself.Repeat or lower time with each new ascent. (You'll sleep well that evening...)Eish, eina . But might just be a very good idea! Thanks
nazmo Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 Entered... Actually excited to do this, some nice climbs too
eeeek Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 Road bike on gravel road. Eina! Anyone got some tips for a novice on what can go wrong with a road bike on the gravel, apart from punctures or overzealous braking/traction loss?
fandacious Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 Road bike on gravel road. Eina! how long is the gravel piece? I have to ride ~800m of gravel each way before i get to tar/when i get back from my ride, so I'm kinda ready for it
