Speed Racer Posted May 1, 2014 Author Posted May 1, 2014 Very keen! Will be my 2nd one and think I may leave the mtb at home and bring some thin tyres to this one! "Leave the MTB at home." I like your thinking ;-)
Underachiever Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 So, keen to do my 1st Audax for the year. Haven't seen the race route from Nigel, but it will most likely be the same as for 2013. Can anyone confirm? Also starting time at 07h00?
Underachiever Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Found Eddie's e-mail that he sent quite a while back... See u on Sunday!!
Speed Racer Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 Found Eddie's e-mail that he sent quite a while back... See u on Sunday!! Awesome that you joining us Underachiever! Start is 0700. Can be chilly between Nigel and Devon this time of year. Suggest arm warmers and gilet. See ya Sunday :-)
Speed Racer Posted May 14, 2014 Author Posted May 14, 2014 30 riders entered so far, for the 200km event on Sunday! Not too late to enter www.audaxsa.co.za
crasher Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 looking forward to this one it was great last year but bloody cold when we started
Underachiever Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 looking forward to this one it was great last year but bloody cold when we started Yep, and I see Accuweather predicts a 4°C. Eish!!
jcza Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Sorry to be missing out on Sunday but hope to be back for another one soon
crasher Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 How long do you guys expect to take to do the 200km? my ride time last year was 7-02 but with stops at checkpoints and food at the church total time was closer to 8 hrs its nice not to be racing just riding
crasher Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Yep, and I see Accuweather predicts a 4°C. Eish!! My garmin data shows 4 degrees at start last year and remained at that for first 40 mins of ride only then did it start to pick up
djsam Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Anybody have a link to the route, perhaps on Strava or Garmin Connect? Would really appreciate it
djsam Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 my ride time last year was 7-02 but with stops at checkpoints and food at the church total time was closer to 8 hrs its nice not to be racing just riding Sounds pretty doable... and i tend to agree riding as opposed to racing is nice
Speed Racer Posted May 15, 2014 Author Posted May 15, 2014 looking forward to this one it was great last year but bloody cold when we started Hey! The return of crasher. See you on Sunday.
Tayyib Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Look forward to seeing you guys in the morning! Going to be a good one.(I hope)
Speed Racer Posted May 20, 2014 Author Posted May 20, 2014 Well done to all participants in Sunday's Audax events. 47 riders started on the 200km event. 10 of these were line entries. This is one of the best turnouts for a Winter Audax for some time, with a range of A to D group riders. The roads were super quiet. I counted only a handful of cars between Nigel and Greylingstad. It really is a pleasure to ride at speed, on good, quiet roads, in a bunch over decent distances like this. Maximum respect to Eddie for putting together these awesome events. Nice riding with you for a bit, Underachiever. That was some display of power riding! Crasher, our group of stragglers made good time into Greylingstad. Hope to see you guys again soon.
