NicoledeVilliers Posted May 26, 2014 Share How much training do you need for the 175 stage race? Do you need to be riding over 100km? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances should be pretty good considering its broken up into 4 stages. Roughly 50km x 3 and 25km to the finish which allows recovery. Bear in mind that the slower you ride the less time you'll have to recover. Its a fantastic race. NicoledeVilliers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinnekop Posted May 26, 2014 Share You'll be fine.Kremetart is not that hard. What catches a lot of guys and girls out is the stopping and eating in between. I have not done a 120+ ride in over 4 months and I know I'll survive....just. Stage 3 is the bastards child.....last 10km undulating and hot and the last 800m will feel like 5 gazillion kilometres! Last stage is a 10km drag, 10km downhill free to the finish. Definitely my highlight of the year.

slowpoke Posted May 26, 2014 Share If you can do the 94.7 you can do the Kremetart. The trick is to pace yourself on the first climb and then find a decent bunch to stick with for stage 3. As spaaidy says, it's definitely the highlight of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDF Posted May 26, 2014 Share You should be fine. First stage starts with a long climb and the 3rd stage ends (as Spinnekop put it...) on a bastatrds child of a climb. Bearing in mind it is at the end of 150 odd KM at that stage... Last stage is short and fine. Make sure you get the right amount of good quality calories over the day as well as sufficient electrolytes otherwise you will run out of fuel - cramps, hitting the wall etc... Good luck!

The chowing and drinking is very important. Don't rely on the chow given at the stops! BDF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
