So who is in A batch with me @ 6 am....eish that's very much early ?

 

Nice and early. Rethinking my plan of riding to the start as I may need to leave home at midnight to make it on time.

Rode it yesterday on our regular afternoon spruit ride. As I got to the end, one of the race organizers drove up to check on it. We chatted a bit.

 

The bridge is VERY stable. As you see people are fishing off it. Last year the Sani lagoon bridge was 3 blocks wide (if I remember correctly). I heard that this year it was 2. 5 blocks not only allows more room for lateral movement, but it's also far more buoyant. So the bridge doesn't bob as you ride along it.

 

So those who have a floating-bridge-phobia... this one is nice and easy and safe, so give it a go!

 

You can ride 3 abreast on that.

So ? Get up normal Sunday ride time , and ride there for warm up ?

 

get on spruit at chilli lane

 

That's a good idea, any idea what the distance would be from Chili Lane?

 

My only concern would be then having to ride back, due to recent injury my fitness is not where I want it to be, that's why I am only doing the 22Km, and due to the masses riding, its surely going to be a long 22km.

So what's in the goody bag? Any good(y)?  :P

Water bottle, Oreos (just eaten them), typical soap and suntan cream samples.

 

Sometimes wish they would have more "Cycling" specific stuff in the bags.
