flymango Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Joh, that's going to make for a really early start from C Town, and I'm riding Moonlight Mass the night before! A few espressos will have to come to my rescue! Better make that a few iced coffees instead.

A few espressos will have to come to my rescue! I'm guessing as I've seen no other notifications.Add your 30 min warm up and stretching routine to the time line. Edited February 13, 2014 by ' Dale
Breezer Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Right, ek is daar. Ek het die naweek se pajama drill afgekry, maar sal dit volgende week moet inwerk!
Skubarra Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Add your 30 min warm up and stretching routine to the time line. The first 30min of the race is my warm up and stretching routine... Big JD 1
'Dale Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 The first 30min of the race is my warm up and stretching routine... Better warm up for this one then with that Category 3 climb at the start.:-)
Skubarra Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Better warm up for this one then with that Category 3 climb at the start.:-) Good point, potentially a very long TT on Sunday! Might just give that warm-up idea a chance Tiny K 1
Woofie Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Better warm up for this one then with that Category 3 climb at the start.:-) Is it really that much
DJTerblanche Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Better warm up for this one then with that Category 3 climb at the start.:-) I don't see how strava classify the slight uphill from the turn-off to Pniel to the start of the helshoogte ascend as a cat 3 climb.its 5.2km with an avg incline of 3%, the fast guys do that segment with a avg speed of 30+km/h.Myself (an average rider) averaging 24-25km/h on it.The race starts about about a third of the way into this segment. Don't see people really dropping on this segment. The actual Ascend of Helshoogte (and where I think some people will be dropped) is the 1.9km segment (Cat 4) with an avg incline of 6% and the fast guys do this in 5 minutes. I aim to do it in like 7min Edited February 13, 2014 by DJTerblanche
Bub Marley Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Extreme temperatures predicted for Sunday. 37 degrees in the stellenbosch area and going up to 40 degrees in Paarl & Wellington. Keep yourselves hydrated guys. I'm going to do my own training on saturday rather.
allez Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I am still not over this cold, and with hot conditions expected, I am rather going to skip the Medallion this year. Will do an easy ride on Saterday.

Feeling 95% now so will see how it goes. Wannabe 1

Feeling 95% now so will see how it goes.I guess I am at 80%Its in the head and chest. Cant get rid of the chest/congestion thing and work aircon does not help!Plus the wind blowing stuff around is also not helping Will aim for the Bay City race now.Hope you have a good race!

It is the only thing that helps.
