flymango Posted February 13, 2014 Share 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.

'Dale Posted February 13, 2014 Share 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! I'm guessing as I've seen no other notifications.Add your 30 min warm up and stretching routine to the time line.

'Dale Posted February 13, 2014 Share The first 30min of the race is my warm up and stretching routine...

Skubarra Posted February 13, 2014 Share Better warm up for this one then with that Category 3 climb at the start.:-) Good point, potentially a very long TT on Sunday!

DJTerblanche Posted February 13, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/135883-event-medallion-tour-de-stellenbosch/page/5/#findComment-2213520 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bub Marley Posted February 14, 2014 Share 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 Share 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.

Woofie Posted February 14, 2014 Share 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.How are you feeling?If it is just in the head a bit you will be ok.If it is sore body still or on the chest then rather not.I think I am going to go through.
