Baaisikilist Posted December 14, 2016 Share I managed to knock last year's challenge out in 2.5 rides, all on a MTB. Xmas eve I rode from Buffelsbaai to George, along the 7 passes route, stopped, had a bite to eat, and rode back. On New Year's Eve, I rode from Buffelsbaai to Uniondale, up Prince Albert's Pass. Rehydrated & ate in Uniondale, then rode back... Between those 2 rides, I also rode from Buffelsbaai to Plett, rode Garden Route Trail Park, Homtini Trail, many trips up past Simola and Gouna pass etc. 'Kaze Pete, Spinnekop, MSquared and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veebee Posted December 25, 2016 Share Had boys night out on Friday, got up yesterday morning with my world spinning so didn't attempt getting on the bike. Only 90km today. Let's see how far I can get. Wind in Dbn has been terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocknRolla Posted December 25, 2016 Share Does it count if you do some of it on an indoor trainer?Working through Christmas and EL becomes a bit of a nightmare with all the vaalies down here at this time of year.Sadly trainers don't count. Silly me signed up for this as part of my motivation to keep training through December even though I'm idt bound in order to try and push beyond the normal one hour session on the kicker. Anyhoo, best of luck y'all Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
