VicanZA Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 hey speed racer ive done the 200km, the 400km is uncharted territory for me, how big is the jump? did u do the last one form nigel wimpy?
Speed Racer Posted March 29, 2016 Author Posted March 29, 2016 Hi VicanZA, It's a fair leap. The route is basically 2x200 loops. I did the last 200. How did you feel after it? If you still had something left in the tank you should be okay. The pace will be slower, and the group will be small, but should stay together.
Kerbouchard Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 I also did the 200km and I am very tempted to do the 400km

Marius Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 The CT 400km two weeks ago was hectic! We had pouring rain from 9pm till about 6am the next morning - I'm still trying to get all the muck splashed up from the road out of my socks and rain jacket. Was pretty broken the last 150km - Anyways, enjoy! Hope the weather Gods are kind.
VicanZA Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Finish the last one in 7:30 had lots in the tank but I did fell the Nigel route was an easy ride. Have you got the GPX file for the route? What group did u guys ride in? Passed and road with a couple different groups on the way back.

Marius Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Thx, was the hardest one yet and it does not help that we were only 3 guys in the "fast" bunch. Wish there was more wheels to follow.
