nathrix Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Who's going to stop and rest a bit at Van der Kloof dam race village and who is going to limit their time just getting refreshments and push on to get to Britstown....
the nerd Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I am glued to the tracker. I did this for the last 3 tour divides and now in our own country. makes me happy! Now to do one of these!!
nathrix Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I just get going after 50 hours a month I'm not even in the saddle for 50 hrs a month For The Munga prep I guess you will need at least 60 hrs in the saddle a month for a couple of moths before the event
nathrix Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Current positions: Chris Van Zyl: 213.2 km; Amy Mcdougall: 211.2 km; Riaan Potgieter: 211.2 km; Bonga Ngqobane: 210.8 km; Kobus Barnard: 210.3 km; (0 minutes ago) -- at 09:09:03 PM (SAST) 12/02/15
Rob Mortimer Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Amy is also mentally very tough, together with being a superb cyclist. Don't write off Grant Usher - beast on the bike Also can't stop watching
the nerd Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I've been talking to one of the guys in the race village who reckons that climb into the first stop is no joke!
DIPSLICK Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Amy is like a high performance tractor unless she has a mechanical of NOTE I rate her chances
nathrix Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I've been talking to one of the guys in the race village who reckons that climb into the first stop is no joke! Jip, speed is down to 7 km/h heading into the 1st race village at Van der Kloof dam.
the nerd Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Jip, speed is down to 7 km/h heading into the 1st race village at Van der Kloof dam. Yeah a bit of a slog... who is gonna push through this is where we will see some strategy!!
the nerd Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Side note: Its going to be interesting to see how long the battery lasts on Di2....
Zatopek Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Its incredible how close the top 5-8 are. Pity one need to go to bed and miss out on the action
nathrix Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 So it took the leaders 10 hrs to get to Van der kloof dam
Zatopek Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Did CVZ miss the turnoff to the water point? Or simply decided its not needed Edit: I see he must have turned around back to the WP

I think he is still in. The satellite reception is bad.. we'll have to see when they get moving again.
