Fat Boab Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Gary, did you resolve your tri-bar query for a few weeks ago? If so, how so? Would be interesting to hear a summary of your training for such an event?

Would be interesting to hear a summary of your training for such an event? Yes, I got a set of these from Lynden Cycles http://www.profile-design.com/product/aerobars/t1-aluminum/ I have had the them on the bike since I bought them, except for R4V. An when I have been riding, I have been trying to stay on the aero bars as much as possible. They are very comfortable, and make a huge difference to my speed. I've set a couple of PRs on flat roads with them without even trying. The only issue with them is it puts some strain on the neck muscles. I'm not sure how they will hold out.
DJR Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 ...........There's a final checkpoint in Prince Albert (CP3)It's worth doing just for that checkpoint people! The Prince of the Karoo! Actually, more like the Prince of South Africa! Or Africa? Hell, it should be the Prince of the world! (The fact that it's my beloved hometown is just coincidence, no bias here!)

cat-i Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Glenn had to withdraw - old injury Was a very hot day out there
cat-i Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Update on the website today: http://www.transafrikabikerace.com/day-2-of-the-2015-trans-afrika-2015/ Was a very hot day out there.News about our hubber Gary:...Gary is putting in big days and is between Hoedspruit and Hazyview as I write this. Gary had a great start to the day and mixed up his bum lubricant with his toothpaste. Luckily he only had a stinging rear end not a mouth full of Fissan paste. It could have been far worse.
