Love yr.no. It's the last word on weather.

[Smurfy]

Dry and dusty roads. Gonna be a fast ride for the SNAKES.

[Marius]

What racing chip must we bring along?

 

 

[Smurfy]

Timing chip is in the race board.

Safe driving people, C U there in the morning. Laat die wiele rol.

Re cramping, the only way to stop that is to ride within your limits. no mater what you take if you go out way harder than you are used to you will cramp. No use training at walking pace and trying to race. You need to condition your body to what it is going to expect in the race.

 

I just hope the "sinkplaat" is not too bad. My ribs and clavicle have just knitted and are waaaaaay tender. Ho well we will know tomorrow afternoon.

I am so excited I might not sleep. I am getting my Garmin Edge 500 this evening and then I have to do an hour on the IDT to get the legs ready. Please say hi if you see me, I will be in Kate Slegrova Cycle Training jersey and on a Scott Spark duel sus.

 

Copperhead: How many sugars in your Nespresso tmrw morning?

[Smurfy]

I know the DICK all too well.Learnt a couple of things from him the past 3 years. :w00t:

Seriously??? My only warm-up will be the ride from parking to registration & back, the rest of my energy I'm saving for Nieuwoudt Pass and the rest of the 118km

 

Will say hi when you come flying by

[Berry]

What was the elevation for the 115km?

[Skubarra]

What was the elevation for the 115km?

 

1469m on my Garmin. If you take out Nieuwoudt's pass it's actually not a lot of climbing given the length of the race

Yay just managed a sub six. Dropped the guys and girls i rode most of the race with like a sack of potatoes in the last 10-15km. New Garmin Edge 500 worked a charm, I got 1425m climb. Going to make Karoo2Coast a breeze.

 

also: we found something in the parking lot. its got something to do with bikes. If you lost it. msg copperhead or myself.

 

Copper: Oops sorry only got the memo about leaving my fav kit at home now.

 

Thanks to the two lurker Hub guys that greeted me, the ones who dont have usernames.
