Chris NewbyFraser Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 They say wisdom comes with age. NOT TRUE! I turn 60 this year and now want to ride the Dash2Durban on 21 April next year. OK, so I ride a Spez Roubaix, i'm no as fat as I used to be, my prostate is still behaving itself and I don't get to use my goolies anymore, but is there reason enough for me to tackle such a dumb challenge?Somebody help me - stop me (or if you are 60 odd, join me and we can do an old ballies jol) No point in dying alone, is there?
Sepia Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 I am with you mate. Before I commit to this outlandish challenge of lost youth, I need to know more. Anywhere I can Google it?

Ryanpmb Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 This years info but it gives an idea... http://www.transafrikabikerace.com/dash2durban-a-600km-unsupported-adventure-cycling-race-22nd-april-2015/ http://www.massiveadventures.co.za/event/dash-2-durban/ Go for it.

Anywhere I can Google it?If you are insane or at least, lack sanity, log onto www.massiveadventures.co.za and work your way to the various sites. If you're my age, you may want your grand kids to help out here - or the optometrist.

If you're my age, you may want your grand kids to help out here - or the optometrist.You are still young by my standards! Managed to Google (on my own-thanks Ryan!)Looks like some fun to be had but I am worried about making the checkpoints in time!!!!And yes, I am insane, have been told so many times over the years (many years)Is there a category for "bullets?"

If you are worried about making the waypoints - there's hope in a group. There will be a charity team category that leaves on to 20th. This group will be allowed support whereas the solo's who leave the next day are strictly unsupported.

Chris NewbyFraser Posted October 26, 2015 Author Posted October 26, 2015 Dash2Durban next year will have an MTB category for anyone brave enough to do it on dirt. Little chance of being flattened by a truck on a dark road in the night I suppose. Hard work tho'.
