Long Wheel Base Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Shortened to just "the fast one" is on Sunday the 25th January. For most its the first race of the year. Entries close tomorrow 13th January. 96KM big blade all the way. Last year there was quite a lot of prize money even for the seeded groups as well so lets hope its the same this year. Starts and finishes at the midvaal raceway.Who's in?
Jay_B Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Right on my doorstep and follows large parts of my training routes... looking forward to this one to see where im at after the holiday training schedule.

Good luck to all who compete though........ Know the feeling, this race and R4V are the only two races that make number collection for me easy... all other races I have to take half day leave to drive through to Fourways to collect. Really think they could get a better turn out if they came up with a better system.

DIPSLICK Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 AT THE MOMENT I COULDNT DO 96KM DOWN A MINE SHAFT
Escapee.. Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 AT THE MOMENT I COULDNT DO 96KM DOWN A MINE SHAFT Have you tried?
Patchelicious Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Entered! Nice and fast. Will be my first year doing this race in VA I hope. Yikes.
RDK Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 This will be my first time doing it and I want to know if the race really is "the fast one"? I have not trained for 2 weeks during December holidays and wonder if I will do in this race, not a very fast rider in the 1st place.

I have not trained for 2 weeks during December holidays and wonder if I will do in this race, not a very fast rider in the 1st place."Fast" is a relative term. Its all the same effort really, you just go FASTER if the course is flat. So dont stress, and enjoy it!
NeoOne Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Are there traffic officers/marshalls or is it as dangerous as the Dischem Ride for sight?
Patchelicious Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 This is just a perception, but I think the R4S is very unsafe. From what I remember on the Fast One was slower, less riders, less traffic and I never bumped into shorter distance riders. So in my opinion yes its safer.
Racer Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 It is safer but by no means an easy route. Undulating with wind most of the way.

Good luck to all who compete though........Quick question, But how is it that even after all of the money we pay Cycling SA annually (including the R350 for a racing license), we still have to pick up numbers for every race? Surely we could have a set number for the season?
