Slowbee Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 The cutoff is 90hrs - 13.3 km/h (slower than the usual 15km/h for audax rides.) He has 17 hrs left to do the remaining 110km. Plenty of time. :-)Thanks Gary I see he has slowed for the last bit to 12.8km/hr. But as you say he should make for some good time Common ROB !
Marius Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Did Chris Van Zyl not ride? Thought he's also riding... he was the SA record holder last I checked..
Slowbee Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Rob finished ! Well done my man !! 4 days of randoneur riding ..... sheer awesomeness.
lone one Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 In what time did he finish?61.08 - AVG 20.1 km/h
walkerr Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Thanks for all the support guys - only just got back home now (family vacation to unwind after the ride). I took a 3hr sleep at Loudeac both ways, which skewed my control times a bit. Plus around 300km from the end my right knee started playing up pretty nastily (ITB issues I am told). That slowed me on the uphills quite a lot, and I was beginning to get seriously dozy at Mortagne with around 140km to go. Needed to rest up a bit, drink a lot of coffee, and group up with some other riders to chat too and help keep awake. Overall an absolutely tremendous experience. Definitely one I'd recommend to anyone who enjoys a very long social ride
