hayleyearth Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 this sounds like an ad...my bags are packed I am ready to go..... I feel the same after reading that Meerkat82 1
Tubehunter Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 And that what makes them a 'must do' on the calendar. For the Tour Durban, the road surfaces are almost all brand new - super smooth, beautiful. It's in April, the best time of year in DBN - sunny beach weather, hardly any wind. Finish the race on the beachfront, put the bike down and run straight into the sea . And everyone else is nipping in wintery Joeys. But best of all, once you're done with the big M7 climb, it's all fast and flat from there - pace line perfection . How to pack a bike and a board on the plane.... MMmmmm Meerkat82 and hayleyearth 2

She's my golden sled of treasured pleasure man! But, thinking out loud, my shaper does live in Durban... Could this be cunning??? tombeej 1
Rob Mortimer Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I will change the first post on this thread - make it a sort of I-Team Manifesto - to list what the I-Team stands for, what it's goals are, etc. I've got some ideas about this already, but I'd like to hear from you lot as well. So what do you guys expect to get out of this project? What will make it succeed, and what will cause it to fail? Think the I team concept appealed to me for the following reasons:I almost never cycle in groups;Being new to road riding I found the opportunity to ride with others and learn the necessary skills as a challengeWould like to improve my cycling over all - pretty sure having others help you and give advice is the best wayBeing in Pretoria means getting to Joburg for a bike is not going to be easy so if there are any Pretoria I team members let me know if you would like to set up something closer to home?

After the 5150 in the beginning of the month I have pencilled my next TRI in already. It won't be EL or PE in 2016 though. In August got to take the wife on a honeymoon first before any major funds get spend on my sport again. Depending on Durban's date I might do that 70.3 else it will be EL in 2017. So I leave EL 2016 up to you tow masters.. shaper 1

Veebee Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Believe me, you don't. Joining the team is a state of mind. Staying with them is another thing entirely, but that's how you get 'better' I suppose! believe me, I do. My current index is 51 from the Shova... improved from 100+ which I had earlier this year. So to ride with the I-Team, I have to get better at this. My riding has improved, just need to do a few events. Missed out on the 947 cos of my broken collarbone... but next year isn't far away so will get my a$$ into gear and drive to Jhb more frequently if I have to. BouncingBrain 1
Hennie VR Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Come join monkey on a bianchi and I, we can start an I Team for marathons too After doing my first Amashova this year I am convinced that people that run that route is just plain BONKERS. It hurts when I have to run uphill. It hurts even more when I have to run downhill and that is all the Comrades route consists off. There is no way I'm going to expose myself to 9h (if I'm lucky) of that torture. I have huge respect for anyone running the Comrades Marathon. BouncingBrain 1

I'm sure you know your own mind, so good luck with the carrot of joining the Team, and with the recovery from your c-bone. PS how does one source one's index? Veebee 1
