jcza Posted December 31, 2017 Share What made Waterberg not lekker? That was a ride I was looking forward too.Not suitable for Gravel/CX bike. Endless sand and corrugations. Winner was on a fatbike. Grumpy cause I was the only dummy on a CX bike despite assurances that route was suitable. Patchelicious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket-Boy Posted December 31, 2017 Share But is it as much fun....? Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkIts a different kind of fun, but still great. Why limit yourself to one type of riding when there are some many great ones? Warren_G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchelicious Posted December 31, 2017 Share Doesn't really matter. It's not about me. I climbed about the same amount as you though. Distance 6,008.6 km Time 278h 46m Elev Gain 61,713 m Rides 166I think you are confusing the words “about the same” with “about half”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delarey Posted December 31, 2017 Share Its a different kind of fun, but still great. Why limit yourself to one type of riding when there are some many great ones?Just being facetious. At full buffalo size I just feel wrong on a road bike. Add to that the fact that I am way more scared of cars than rocky switch backs. Can’t say I am tempted to find another expensive sport to indulge in. Actually just wanted to point out how misleading stats can be.

'Dale Posted December 31, 2017 Share Since I’ve started MTBing in 2016, my elevation stats have spiked by about 30 percent. And my distance stats have more or less stayed the sameI like I like ????????♀️ Edited December 31, 2017 by 'Dale Warren_G and EmptyB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted December 31, 2017 Share Similar time as 2016 but increased distance as I've switched to more road in 2017. Underachiever, Tristand, Andrew_Smith and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jehosefat Posted December 31, 2017 Share Distance: 3,613.9kmTime: 163h 15mElevation Gain: 17,096mRides: 157 (most of my training is power-based on the IDT hence the very low elevation number) Best Ride: Tshwane Classic - first sub-3 ride and made it up the two really steep hills without walking. Worst Ride: 94.7 MTB race - had a little lie down 45ish km into the race and won an ambulance ride and a CT scan (broken cheekbone that needed surgery and fractured scaphoid). Also trashed my helmet and glasses and did R10k worth of damage to the bike (did manage to upgrade to wider rims in the process though). Also cast just came off so haven't really been back on the bike yet. Basically starting 2018 at zero again peetwindhoek and Andrew_Smith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCreamMan Posted December 31, 2017 Share Distance 5874 km’s about 70/30 road/MTBElevation 57775 137 ridesTotal hours 252Longest ride 221kmHighest climb 541 recorded on stage 2 of Jock classique Most enjoyable ride was my iron man PE cycle I reckon. Worst ride was Jock classique, I had flu and shat bricks all day long All in all a good year cycling, about 20 percent more elevation than last year and that’s where we get strong I guess, Edited December 31, 2017 by IceCreamMan Beesrib, Andrew_Smith and bmw1za 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrado Posted December 31, 2017 Share I think you are confusing the words “about the same” with “about half”. lol, You still don't get it do you? For every 1km you traveled in distance, you only climb 10m in elevation.For every 1km i traveled in distance, i climbed 10.2m in elevation. (we both climb the same rate)The guy you chirped for going to slow, for every 1km he traveled in distance, he climbed 17.8m in elevation. It's almost twice as much of climbing done per km as you and i both! If you climbed at the same rate as he did you should have had 187563m elevation.That is 81784m more than what you did. That is 8 everests more per year, for the same amount of kms you did. You avg speed would definitely look different then. LOL Do you get it now?

Based on your logic. I’m going to do one ride tomorrow, 1km and 100m climbing, and then I’ll win all climbing challenges. Stop arguing now, you are coming across as needy. Ps: the guy I chirped, is a good guy, we have sparred many times and I respect him, if HE chirped me, I would laugh it off.

Corrado Posted December 31, 2017 Share It's not k*K. It's stats and you didn't look at it properly before chirping him about his avg speed.Peace out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
