DoubleJ Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Any tips for us mere mortals to survive this thing, from today there's 58 days to go? Currently cannot train more than 3/4 times a week (30km/ride) and can only put in one big ride every 2nd weekend (about 85-100km gravel). This will be my first time doing this race and the goal will be to just survive it and finish up before cutoff (as far as I remember it's 12 hours, but I could be wrong).
TheJ Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 If Lex organises, you know you'll be k@kking off. Fit or not.

bullet77 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Any tips for us mere mortals to survive this thing, from today there's 58 days to go?

This will be my first time doing this race and the goal will be to just survive it and finish up before cutoff (as far as I remember it's 12 hours, but I could be wrong).Try do some of the training rides with Lex and co. The climbs through Loerie Ruskamp over the mountain to Elands road are brutal and the descent down to Elands road is steep and rough. Ride in Longmore and/or Elands road for your longer rides, perfect prep. Good luck.
milky4130 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Will this be the very first edition of this event?
GAP Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 No....last year was the first. Good race, lot's of climbing, have to pace yourself.
