cadenceblur Posted May 23, 2015 Share Have to agree, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Buttox Posted May 23, 2015 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopkop Posted May 23, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johny Bravo Posted May 23, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FCH Posted May 23, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadenceblur Posted May 23, 2015 Share I actually enjoyed the flat sections. A bit like road riding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johny Bravo Posted May 24, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadenceblur Posted May 24, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaco-fiets Posted May 24, 2015 Share This 100miler will be a sunday stroll compared to the 100miler coming up in September in Cederberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?
