devocean Posted November 27, 2017 Share Huge thanks to team mad macs / häzz coffee for letting us chill in their van and for feeding us (Coro racing A) after our support vehicle never made it to the 2nd feed zone. That saved our asses big time. Those vegan superbars are pretty rad too. MDJ, Gen, Karman de Lange and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velouria Posted November 27, 2017 Share How do you get back to your car?? Mine was a small bit over to make up for 4 years of picnics and neutral zones! After 400kms all earthly possessions seem irrelevant and we didn't quite care what happened to our cars its nearly Monday night (its still light in the cape at 19H30), where is your ride report ? ppppppppppllllllllllllssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!! My race report is going to go something like this:1. Start2. Stare at the bum in front of me while chewing bar tape everytime Nic Dlamini was anywhere near the front.3. Pretend to take a turn on the front, but I was actually too shattered from Nic's 5 minute motorpace session that I was actually recovering while on the front4. Repeat 2 and 3 about 15 times5. Pop spectacularly6. Ponder the meaning of life and what series of bad life decisions had brought me to this point7. Water point 18. Repeat 2 and 3 about 10 times, but this time there was no popping as I was number 69. Water point 210. Pop again - about 2kms out of the water point11. Make a million deals with the muscles in my legs if they could just get me to the finish and not wage a violent war whenever I tried to pedal12. Curse any uphill, no matter the gradient13. Repeat 11 about 37 times14. Finish, vowing to race in a mixed team next year! (15. Two days later start thinking about doing it all again next year!)

Cippo Posted November 27, 2017 Share How does the Maluti Double 90 compare to the current DC? They only have one stop and the clock does not stop. I can remember doing the Maluti in late 80's and the climbs around Bethlehem are spectacular. Not sure if the scenery takes your breath away or the elevation.

Dicky DQ Posted November 28, 2017 Share Congrats to all you hard men and women of the road. I wish I had the stamina to do this.It is so easy to do if you hook up with a social team that know their limitations and go slow from the start. Our team did a 7:20 off mostly 1 formal 100 to 160 km weekend training ride an one or two short rides for about 3/4 months.

Not sure if the scenery takes your breath away or the elevation. also a very nice race Not as tough is DC (only a little bit) but should not be under estimated.Golden Gate has beautiful scenery and a " The Mine shaft" climb...
