[Event] 947 Cycle Challenge 2016

[Frosty]

Heard that the bridge on R55 by Kyalami was washed away.

 

Any truth to this?

Debris on the road. Open now Edited November 10, 2016 by geraldm24

Ja, R55 is open. It'll take a lot more rain to wash that bridge away... One of the better-built low-water ones in Joburg.

You'll have to camp at riverside the Saturday night. (also doing the same calculation for a 6:27 start)

  

Cav' youve beat me to it.  BB go and buy a tent this week and go there straight after you've picked up your race number on Thursday already.  You should be in the second or third row then.

I'm also 6:27 in D start..

 

I was hoping to get there by 5am. And have my breakfast at 5:40 in the pen ???? lol

Hold me a spot, I'll be the **** that cut in from the side of the batch at 5:30.

6:15, you mean

Damn there is a lot of hubbers in e batch 15 of us! When I see who is in d just ahead of us I wonder how I got pit in e... Maybe the r4v seeding isn't a true reflection and was over seeded.

Who are you referring to in "D" ?

Most of the guys I know seeded in D are not eyeing 3 hours but 2:40-2:50.

Noob question : who knows from experience that you will do a sub 3 at 94.7 and did you do the carnival city race and what was your time.

 

The reason I ask: if I am miles off would rather enjoy the event instead at a decent pace than kill myself. And so be it if I do a 3:15 or what ever.

 

For reference I did a 3hr 08 at carnival ...

Hey man I just seen your racetec times. Its pretty impressive. And just a handful of races under the belt. You deserve to be there and I'm sure you're gonna smash it being a climber..

 

The guys who are strong on the flats generally take abit of strain with all the elevation

Pikey, you're over thinking it boet.

 

You'll get your sub 3 I'm sure (as BB pointed out)
