B20 Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 It was n lekke race.Weather held up nicely, wind was not to bad.Signage and organisation (IMO) was great.
cadenceblur Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Have to agree, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be actually.
Thor Buttox Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Nicely organised, agreed, but Gees I have never battled so much on a bike. Started cramping on the nasty climb at +- 60km and had to nurse it home for 100km. Those last hills were a bugger! Doing a race that is almost 3 hours longer than I have tried before was interesting... And honestly, a bit boring. My respect for the Epic guys and Iron Man entrants is enhanced!
Mopkop Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 We couldnt of asked for better weather conditions.. as for the last 5Ks.. that was just a sick joke. Im sure tomorrow I'll feel as if I have fought mike tyson. #M0ertoe
Johny Bravo Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Very very well organised, great route markings, marshalling etc. But ja, very boring, as I expected, and I found it tough. My training rides are at places like Stellenbosch and Paarl with mostly climbs and downhills. I struggled on the flat terrain today. Loved the climbs at the end, thats what I am used to. Glad I did it.
Johny Bravo Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Nooit man, if you can do 50, you can do 80.....Did you do 80km or the big boy?
FCH Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Weather gods gave us a full house today! Agree, doing so much climbing and tech stuff I hobestly suffer on simple flats where its just assume the position and keep the tempo
cadenceblur Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 I actually enjoyed the flat sections. A bit like road riding!
B20 Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Did you do 80km or the big boy?I did too. I was looking for that Transit at the start but never saw it...
Johny Bravo Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 I did too. I was looking for that Transit at the start but never saw it...Got a lift with my parents. Girlfriend was out of town galavanting. . Managed a 4.30. Struggled with a cold the whole week. Maybe could have gone better, but did not really race it.
cadenceblur Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 I entered the start right at the back , was a bit like a marathon start, so lost a bit of time getting through. So definitely missed the "groups" upfront. Will remember this for next time though.
Jaco-fiets Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 This 100miler will be a sunday stroll compared to the 100miler coming up in September in Cederberg
milky4130 Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 I entered the start right at the back , was a bit like a marathon start, so lost a bit of time getting through. So definitely missed the "groups" upfront. Will remember this for next time though.which distance? If the 100miler, there was plenty of time to move up to the front or middle as it was nuetral for at least 5kms?
