Maru Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Hi there,First time posting something here. I want to do the coronation double century but I don't have a team. Any one who can help me with this?Also would be nice to have a group to start training (I cycle every day but not long rides)Thanks!
J∆kk∆ls Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Hi Maru Post some more info about yourself. like where you ride, distance and average speed. This way hubbers can get a better idea of what you are looking for. Also start riding longer distances. At some point a century ride should feel easy at a moderate speed. The DC is tough and require many hours in the saddle. Good luck.
Spinnekop Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Hi Maru. Good on you for posting your first post DC is tough and as Jakkels said, you'll have to start getting the long rides in. Start riding with clubs and you'll soon connect with the right people and organise yourself in a DC team if you keep your ears to the ground. Good luck!
Pure Savage Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 We have a second team aiming between 7:30 and 8 hours, they are based in Claremont and blouberg. I am sure there is still a spot.
Maru Posted July 9, 2015 Author Posted July 9, 2015 Hi again!Thanks for answering to my post. Well my avarage speed is 30km/h and I think a team that aims for 7 hrs would be nice. I would love to have a team to train with, at the moment my 2 friends who cycle with me, are all in group A or elite so no a chance to train with them.So...avarage team, hello? hehe Thanks!
Marius Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 I think you chased all the men away Marusa with your 30 km/h - I think if you can av that over 3 hours then you should be in a better than av girls team.
Maru Posted July 9, 2015 Author Posted July 9, 2015 hahaha hilarious!!! I cycle every day from Town to Table view cause I work there, wind, no wind, rain, no rain...but I do not see many girl on road bicycles, a few mountain bikes (my first love ). Any ways...if anyones knows about a team, let me know! I wrote to the outriders, only because they are in Table view.

Iwan Kemp Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Hi Maru, Welcome to The Hub. From past experience looking for help and advice may I suggest you change the thread title to something like "Calling all WC lady roadies". Chances are you will get better and relevant advice from and that way WC cyclists will know gotham called. Happy riding!
Maru Posted July 10, 2015 Author Posted July 10, 2015 Hi Iwan, Thanks! I just changed the title of the post
Iwan Kemp Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Hi Iwan, Thanks! I just changed the title of the post Sorted, or should we get the word out on this one for you?

City Cycling Athletic Club Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 just a tip - try and join a team instead of entering a team. u enter a team then u need to pay R7700 and then you'll have the job of filling it.
