Sidersky Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 So did my first ever mtb race on Saturday. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I made sure I started at the back of my batch so I wasnt in anybody's way. But as the ride progressed I even overtook quite a few people which I never thought I would do. I was polite and always asked if it was OK for me to pass on the right and if they didn't mind.All in all a great first experience and I didn't come last like I really thought I would but came in the top half of the ladies.Think I might even try another beginner race Well done! This was not my first race, but I've only been doing MTB races since 2015 so still feel like a newbie sometimes. The race yesterday was an absolute blast. I was amazed by the pace, my average was 23km/h, which I have to attribute to the race being so flat. I was also surprised by the 50km being more like 44... Next month is JUMA which is also a blast, More elevation and technical bits than yesterday, but well worth trying if you're keen. Red Robin 1
Frosty Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 Strava shows 32 of these... [emoji471] *10x ????, i.e. PB's *15x ???? *7x ????So I guess I can't complain. A lekker morning out in VB, happy that the bunch made it to the finish all upright. Also happy to sit back and let the whole bunch cross the line ahead of me... well, almost everyone... #WheelSuckerDeluxe Saw Spinnekop puncture, unlucky dude!

Pikey Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) A bit bummed I missed this one ☹️...well done to all,especially my mate TP who finished in the top half of C ???? Edited April 23, 2017 by Pikey trail - er - park and Patchelicious 2
Honkdonk Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 Rode AL and came in on 2,24.. Interesting to see that AL was slower than last year. My time was down by 3 mins from last year although my overall placing was up and the size of AL was also up. Gotta love statistics.It may be a flat race but its really awesome to stick in a big bunch, hear the sound of the 150 bikes on the tar (and good tar at that), every time someone tries to make a go for it then the whole bunch stands up and reels them in. Racing at close proximity all the way. Keeping focused on the guys around you. And hot damn, some nice bikes on display! hilton_, Pikey, bmw1za and 1 other 4

Jehosefat Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 It hurts now, but turn that into motivation to go faster next year! Train for a 2:50 and you won't miss your 3 again Its a work in progress, only my 3rd road race since I got back into cycling in August (I do more MTB than road) and my fastest time on an approx. 100km race. Just bleak that I was so close and missed it.

Have improved gradually over the year...stick at it and put in the Km's. You'll be amazed ,well done on today ???? Edited April 23, 2017 by Pikey bmw1za 1
