Underachiever Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 YesNearly time again... Yes, NEEDS to be there - final endurance training for the CPT!!
ScottCM Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Sorry if this has been answered before, but i dont seem to see it , Can one do say the 100 & 200km on a MTB, or it is a road bike only event / Series? Yes i know it will be a lot harder to keep the desired pace up and a long lonely ride as one wont be able to keep up with a group and therefore ride by yourself.

Sure you can do it on a MTB but can't figure out why you would want to.

ScottCM Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 I wouldn't put slicks on for a 100km but for the 200km would definitely consider it.
GaryvdM Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 I wouldn't put slicks on for a 100km but for the 200km would definitely consider it. Finishing times vary between 7hrs and 10hrs for the 200's. So you should find someone to ride with. At the July Benoni Audux there was a guy with an old Avalanche with slicks who finish ahead of me.
GaryvdM Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Nearly time again... Entered! Looked at the route, and we finish by going from Heidelberg to the Lido around the south of Suikerbosrand, which all though it's hilly, it's a lovely scenic road.

Looked at the route, and we finish by going from Heidelberg to the Lido around the south of Suikerbosrand, which all though it's hilly, it's a lovely scenic road. Entered. A classic route. After 8 weeks sick, four courses of meds, and umpteen false starts, I really need to stay well enough to do this ride!
