Bos Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Yeah late entries for sure. I am doing the ultra. Also a training ride for Tankwa. Need to get up to speed and ready to enjoy Ceres for 3 days. This should be a good test. I will be on a black Bulls bike.Might even be a bit harder than the tankwa! But I was planning on doing a long ride on saturday and a long easy on sunday.. this might just be it. I havent raced much lately the last being the Burger when I was still lacking serious miles. But I guess If im not ready for this ultra I will never be! Might just take it easy and ride it as well I can. 100km with 2800 of climbing was never going to be a "race" for me anyway. See you there!
Bos Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Also doing Tankwa but after been in the pain cave for a loooooong 7:30 at ATTA decided on doing the 70km not in the mood for another long day (& the wife wont be to happy if im gone the whole day again:) Burty what time did you do the Atta in? As I mentioned I have 2 good months behind me but for the mejority of last year I was chilling on the couch..so I might need the test of legs. Should be enough time to recover If I have a really *** day. Hoping the southeaster does not play a big role as 100km technical trails will be tough enough.
brucem76 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Interesting, some rain and cool weather predicted for Sat...
burty Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Did a 7:30, went out to quick and last 40kms I suffered, school boy error. Doing a tough interval/ride Thurs/fri & race sat in prep for Tankwa

Donovan Le Cok Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I am starting to regret entering the 100km... Saturday is going to be difficult. Actually revolting....

JV26 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 This is going to be my first mtb race, and doing the 70km ! Very anxious! Any danger zones that I really need to watch out for ? I only done 1 bloemendal night ride the rest is road riding.

I wish I wasn't broken so I could do the half!

Guest Karma Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Emmarentia is to rocky good for all your technical training After doing Emmies you are ready to face any downhill section and the trickiest of single-tracks.
