MuddyMike Posted November 12, 2014 Share While not as tough as Baviaans, (that's like saying lethal injection is better than a firing squad - ultimately the same result) the 36One is a tough ride. But an amazing one. Really?? I didnt find Trans Baviaans a tough ride, long but not that tough considering the first 130 is down.......... Makes me feel better about my 1st 360 attempt next year.....

FBSP Posted November 12, 2014 Share It is almost impossible to ride the full distance in training but I did one 220km ride on district roads and a total of 6x150km or bigger. One needs to know what your body needs in terms of nutrition and pacing and bear in mind that night riding can be a bit slower as you mostly ride with your light on dim to save the battery. We rode well within ourselves but still managed 25km/h, which is what we trained for. Ride in training what you want to achieve at the event but use an average speed. Ride the climbs in an easy gear at about 70% your normal climbing speed and remember there is over 5000m of ascent. It is difficult to train your body for this event but if your mind can hold so will your body, that's the trick to endurance events.

MaxUmis Posted November 12, 2014 Share Did it solo last year just under 15h, was broken (hit the wall) 3-4 times during the race.If you used to mental and physical pain this race is for you.Maybe going to give it another go in 2015.

RockSpider85 Posted November 13, 2014 Share How will you guys ensure that your gps units run the full 361km? Just my tip on what I will be using I know the Bryton ryder 40 has 24hr battery life but its memory is too small if you want to have power data for the whole race....So I am going to use my CycleOps Joule... solution is that I will be riding with a Amped battery back, its small and can charge your phone even. (the pack can charge an iphone twice) The CycleOps Joule can charge while operating. http://amped.co.za/ Edited November 13, 2014 by RockSpider85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I misunderstood dont know the garmin devices. no its not the same thing unfortunately, the garmin charges with a USB Mini-B. but a standard usb forces the unit to switch off and charge, it can't work and charge at the same time. a OTG cable allows you to charge run the unit of aux power without it switching off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
