Solstice Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Uhmm, gents, I'm riding solo, first one for me... any chance of meeting up to ride together... I'm a back-marker and struggle to pace myself Â

Just hang around at the back in the start chute that's where you'll find them & make friends while you wait for the start gun. Also be realistic with your riding time, do you want to ride for 9-10 hours, you might want to leave yourself some fat & opt for a 8 hour group.
BrandonF_ Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Full gas from the gun. It's normally freezing cold at the start and then warms up nicely. Just hoping for good conditions like last year. Milky... You are a bit stronger than me but I am really going to push for a sub 7. We can try and get a small group if you keen?? Atleast I know I'll be in two positions better at the Hex with you and Milky not there haha! Enjoy, I dont have the guts for this one yet

Enjoy, I dont have the guts for this one yetnot a chance, you are the stronger rider, I've no endurance so I'll be riding on a prayer with one long ride under my belt, tomorrow I'll hit the road bike for 150km race then just hope for the best. But rest assured ill race out of the blocks & then I'll latch onto a group after I've blown & hang on.
BrandonF_ Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 podium, no pressure. Haha! nooit, podiums are for the young and restless, If podium could just consist of the first 20 positions, I'd go for it ;-) all the best for that crazy distance race, you'll do well, every thought of your baby will renew your will to finish strong milky4130 1

milky4130 Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Besides the races I've been doing I can literally count on my one hand the training rides I've done over the past 3-5weeks

Jacques Viljoen Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 My first 100 miler. How long is the stops for. Is there guys that would ride when it gets dark? Would you need lights? Not really sure what to expect
Mads Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Javi cut off is at 17h30. Which means they expect 99% of the field to be finished by then. Stops is as long as you want it to be. The tag points takes a few seconds. I really doubt that you will need lights. Jacques Viljoen 1
Berry Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 The weather cool and overcast with a chance of rain and nice weather for riding.
