Benjamin Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Anyone watching the cyclo-cross. I apologize for every time I've complained about the conditions on my full -suss MTB. Need to toughen up
Jaco-fiets Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Vos is really a demon on the bike. Real powerful ride
Jaco-fiets Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Where will the world cup be held in SA? Had a chuckle when commentator asked if the conditions in SA are mostly muddy like that. They should have the race in Upington. Trick will be who can finish the race before dehydration

Gen Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 I have just watched the ladies race.. (set record before we went riding). these people are nuts.. that mud in that cold... damn some impressive skills not to kill yourself. Vos on a different planet..
CogitoErgoSum Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 I too am puzzled by today's races. More like hike-a-bike world champs. And the course being only 2,7km with an hour's racing. Not making any sense. Very little actual bike skills, more running skills at camber in the mud Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
'Dale Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 That Euro champ whacked that tree so hardIt didn't even blink ☹️
Jaco-fiets Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 My guess is most Euro cross races has these conditions. Seems to be what they prefer
'Kaze Pete Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 I'm struggling to enjoy this biathlon.duathlon. there are bicycles and no swimming Not sure, but is it's anything like today, Ryan Sandes should enter.I was wondering whether the bike you "use" should actually be ride-able. If you can take the lightest legal bike that you can hook over a shoulder and hit the track with proper running shoes... That said, roughly 24 km per hour for an hour of running on that terrain! That is 2 min 30 per kilometer,or a pace equivalent to a 5km run at 12 min 30 secs!

But I prefer watching some proper bike riding skills - stairs, hurdles, bridges, etc. Not just running in the mud Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
