My seat only allows sub 3s...it's my legs that can't deliver

[Schnavel]

Nice early start - 06:15.

Let' hope the sun is out and no wind...

Will be my first ride in VA. Hope they have mercy on me

Yeah but last year the wind was POMPING. I usually sub 3 this one and last year I did 3h 09m. Was also on the tail end of a 10 day course of anti biotics and hadn't ridden for a week or so. Went on to a sub 3 Argus and usually my times for this and Argus are only a few min apart.

Plenty guys a lot faster than me. I hang on for dear life in VA and finish towards the back. When I race tandem though I do ok.

There has been absolutely no mercy in the races I have done in VA so far... The boys go flat taps from the start

On our club ride today, we saw some rather large potholes that need to be filled before race day.

 

A few through Alrode South down the steps, at Klipriver, the left turn before the drag up to Kareekloof (FastOne turned right here and closed the slipway), a few on the R23 between Heidelberg and Carnival City. Not sure about the few Km between Barry Marais Road and the stadium - we didn't ride it today.

 

There was representation from the organizers on this forum in the past. Hopefully they will fill these before race day. Too dangerous to simply mark.

 

If we have today's wind, it will make for interesting racing/times. A nice cross-tailwind after turning left after the reserve.

Still early, but the worst of the wind is likely on Saturday after that cyclone hits land in Moz on Friday. Sunday is looking tasty though
