ScottCM Posted March 28, 2017 Author Posted March 28, 2017 Awesome... lucky bugger, definitely on my bucket list, just need to rob a bloody bank. IF you are anything like me, you will also first need to get back on the bike
Edgar Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Awesome... lucky bugger, definitely on my bucket list, just need to rob a bloody bank. And a blood bank, preferably the same one as Big George used to frequent. Ferret69 1

ScottCM Posted March 28, 2017 Author Posted March 28, 2017 Couldn't agree more!! I bought a new bike and I still haven't taken it for a ride. Ha Ha, one the wkn i went for a spin around the veld with my sons, and when i looked on my Strava/GC profile afterwards i realised i have only done 24km on the bike which i bought in feb last year

You should be ashamed! *tongue firmly in cheek* Sent from my SM-J200H using TapatalkSo my cycling plans for after Comrades: (Just to proof I don't just run ) I am doing my 10th (consecutive) 94.7 this year. My plan is a double lapper... The first lap I will have to hold on for dear life to stay with the bunch and the second lap to stop at every single water point and alcohol point.I will have to spend some serious time on the bike from June onwards - I am thinking of a couple of 200km training rides... just thinking about it makes my bum hurt. In 2016 I ran more kilometers for the year than what I cycled for the year. So I have my work cut out for me. Ferret69 and Mntboy 2

At least the times I can remember from my training for the Cycle Tour. Good luck with the double laps, I am sure that the second one will be a blast! Edit: BTW I was joking in my previous post.

Mr Winter Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 OMTOM - 17 daysComrades - 9 weeks Why do you have to post such negative things Still thought I had lots of time left to train
CobusV Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 OMTOM - 17 daysComrades - 9 weeks Last hard-ish week for me before OMTOM. Not doing Comrades (and probably never will), but will cheer for every athlete from my couch.
Hacc Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 OMTOM - 17 daysComrades - 9 weeks Why do you have to post such negative things Still thought I had lots of time left to trainThanks for the reminder!!!So much running still to do, so little time (especially if you start subtracting the tapering weeks )
Jackes Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Why do you have to post such negative things Still thought I had lots of time left to train I can't be the only one that has to worry about this, suffer with me buggers... Hacc, Andrew Steer and Mr Winter 3
