Sepia Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Best of luck mate. I am first in line to shake your hand. (Seriously)You know about the pain cave etc so you may have to pay this area another unannounced visit?
Gen Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Maybe expressed myself wrong. The sole motivation for training is not just the race. It is one of the motivators. Lets call it a goal. So the main motivation is being healthier and weight loss and the race is a goal along the way. Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkYou can do it.. we are standing right behind you cheering you on..
Shell Belle Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 I really hope you do it mate Absolutely rooting for you.Just try and hold onto your common sense and don't let stubbornness result in injury, or (worse!!) dislike of the bike!!
PrinceVlad Posted January 30, 2017 Author Posted January 30, 2017 Thanks guys. Now back to my initial question. Is there somewhere I can rent a dual suspension bike? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
dave303e Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 you don't need a dual suspension, I have done plenty 200km+ rides on a hardtail, you just got to spend time in the saddle.What has been longest ride done to date in preparation?What light setup have you got for the event?Have you got your nutrition plan for the race yet, what to eat when, which fluids you are going to drink and a plan for volume min/max her hour etc etc?

Eveza Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Thanks guys. Now back to my initial question. Is there somewhere I can rent a dual suspension bike? Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkFor Cullinan 2 Tonteldoos you won't need a dual suspension bike. It is 99% gravel grinding with really no technical stuff. Just spend enough time in the saddle, build endurance and do hill training. There are lots of long uphill drags.
SwissVan Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 For Cullinan 2 Tonteldoos ......,, There are lots of long uphill drags.Izzzit? PV, are u reading and weeping?Lots to do and time is fewRemember you will need to ride and train with your bike and set up (lights, gps, food n drink)Have you managed to ride race distance in one weeks training yet?Don't forget you also need recovery time before the eventThat would be the minimum imo Winter is coming
Harryn Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 PV are you still in training, or have you abandoned ?
PrinceVlad Posted February 5, 2017 Author Posted February 5, 2017 PV are you still in training, or have you abandoned ?Still training and trying to get in the time in the saddle. The difficulty I am having is fitting in the training when working in the week and on weekends. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Work followed by training does not work out ever.. Got to ask the question - who manages your life? You or your work?

Sitting@89 Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 All indications are pointing to the conclusion that this attempt has been abandoned. Pity would have loved to see the oke succeed.
