Attakwas - 17 January 2015

[whistler]

Will be wearing our black and Pink Daisies shirts. A Smurfy on the back of the helmet.

Cool will look out for you. Not sure of my clothing choice yet, but I'll be on a morewood sukuma. Wifey will sport her giant anthemX. Doing this to try and get an idea of our fitness levels for tankwa trek in feb. And also because this looks like something one just has to do [emoji2]

Will ask the Pole to pick it up then.

For sure, just wish there was a lift to get me to the top...

So I dont need to carry the extra gels and food. This is my first attempt. Would you suggest a sachet of rehydrate or 2.

Carry gels, you probably want to be using 1 per hour at least maybe every 45 mins (I do) and if you are not used to what they are stocking........well let's leave it there.

 

What is this rehydrate you talk of? Never used it so can't comment.

May want to rethink the Black part. 40 deg C and black all over, ouch.

Perfect Atta weather. A westerly breeze to take you home in the last 20kms. Good luck to all.

TX DICK, the rehydrate is the Sport rehydrate that you get in the sachetts. Always carry that on a long ride. Gels will be packed(good advice as you know my fitness levels). 

You have more worries than me, your ROTATOR CUP IS !@#$%^. Strongs on the ride.

Someone told me to calm down to a slow panic. So I am on cruise control for the rest of the week

 

Tapering is hard

Someone warned me about my black shirt. So going with my bright white shirt (normally worn on the road   ) I might be cooler but I will for sure be a picture of its own kind at the end :D

 

 

 

EDIT : Very nervous....
