jcza Posted December 14, 2016 Share Just banter to be clear... the old man can unfortunately kick my ass over every distance on any terrain. I look forward to him actually working for a living next year and not just riding his bike Who is old? Back in full time work since Aug. Riding taking a back seat. I would like to enter this but I don't see it as a race. Its a journey of discovery about oneself. Can I finish? I don't know but I would like to try. Busy talking myself into it.

I suspect you have joined the field wrong again - in the ladies section.... but they will also kick you for 2 minutes only.... after that they will be so far in front you will never see them again... :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Steer Posted December 14, 2016 Share https://slightlyoffthebeatentrack.wordpress.com/ I don't know Mark Harris's cycling history, but this is his blog and I think a good insight into just getting this done coming from humble cycling beginnings.

nathrix Posted December 14, 2016 Share https://slightlyoffthebeatentrack.wordpress.com/ I don't know Mark Harris's cycling history, but this is his blog and I think a good insight into just getting this done coming from humble cycling beginnings. He does of course share Alex's genes though Interesting insight in reading all the rider blogs. One thing that stands out in all of the blogs is not just the fatigue they felt every time they had to climb back onto their bikes and fighting the elements, but also that it's such a HUGE mental game! No matter how fit or strong you think you are on a bike, you need a strong mind to get you through the pain/suffering one pedal stroke at a time, not to mention sleep deprivation. It's the same for everyone, from the back markers all the way to the riders at the front. Your mind keeps screaming at you to STOP. You give up and shout out bugger this $h!t...It's your mind that will get you to that finish line. You need to think real hard before you enter, you will have to prepare yourself for some serious suffering on the bike! Day 1Fighting +40 km/h head winds and temperatures of +40 °C.Brandon Stewart leading Chris van Zyl at around the 70 km mark. They looked absolutely fatigued.Keven Benkenstein leaving the Karoo Shop at the 96 km mark. At that point he already said that it's the hardest ride he's ever done so far, that on day 1 not even a 100 km in and almost a 1000 km still to go.

MuddyMike Posted December 15, 2016 Share "The hardest race on earth"? Harder than the Freedom Challenge? Its the 5 day limit that makes it so hard. If was a 10 day limit and you had to do 110km a day, no problem. IH8MUD, nathrix and Patchelicious 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
