'Dale Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 ^^^^ Please note.....This is a cycling forum. We tolerate your jogging thread, but disrupting an awesome cycling thread like the munga to start talking about your broke back mountain nonsense is not on. I have reported you to admin. Quite brilliant ???????????????? (Double high five)
jcza Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Not for mid-packers... That's what I am worried about
Grantc Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Not for mid-packers...Why not?Surely if you put in a decent amount of training and your mind is right.....
Andrew Steer Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Why not?Surely if you put in a decent amount of training and your mind is right.....Apologies, that was just a personal attack from my side on the original "mid-packer" - jcza... If you've got a good mental game, can ride a bike pretty well and can find the time to prep accordingly - you can probably do the Munga. It's definitely not for everyone though. The mental side in particular, I reckon you need to have the 'beast mode' setting available for when you inevitably hit one of the many many dark places out there.

I've seen enough tub-thumping on here not to be offended any longer. Training starts next week!
dirtrider Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Why not?Surely if you put in a decent amount of training and your mind is right..... Ask the question !! This is not a race for front runners in my opinion . They are used to 100km flatout followed by a massage and 12 hour sleep . I am not even a middle of the pack races , more like in the Sweeper class and races like this appeals to me . For me it will not even be a race but an adventure thats got a cut-off . If you think you can do it , go and buy a bicycle and do it .

Much better than lobbing keyboard grenades into the ether hoping to affect those with the cojones to attempt such a brave feat!

Dirt-rider I agree with you 100%.Was just querying from Andrew why he said it was not for mid-packers. He cleared it up in his next post.
Andrew Steer Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Any mention or idea of when the first Mini-Munga's will be next year? When did they start this year?

EmptyB Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Not for mid-packers...Firm but fair comeback...
Slowbee Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Not for mid-packers...but sounds like for back packers....

If you think you can do it , go and buy a bicycle and do it . you finishing a race in the desert with 2 min to spare showed me that anyone can do anything, they just have to want to. It was that thread that inspired me to do the the ride. and things worked out well. It is going to be interesting talking to folk about this race, but if you pace yourself and plan accordingly, the ride will be hard, but manageable. In the end, a year from now we will know.
Andrew Steer Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Firm but fair comeback...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
