Underachiever Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Thanks all Yeh started in September where I saw my a** in k2C being untrained. I'm more into MTB though and that's what I train with during the week and on the weekends. Also been doing smaller races like Angstrom Summer Fast One (40km) came 3rd, and then the other day Northern Farm 'Jackal Dash' 65km coming 4th. Loving riding though and hoping to just keep improving over time Interesting indeed There is not al lot of people I know that can TT at an avg speed over 40kpm for 62 km. And that on a normal road bike nogal. Let alone doing this having less that 1 year of cycling under the belt. Normally takes a while to develop that type of power. To go from 947 in 3:01 last year, to a Barberton Marathon in 3:38 & your RFS performance, means a massive improvement in just 3 months. You like a 2nd Mathieu vd Poel. Would love to know your secret training weapons.

Vetplant Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 "... I'll be at the BestMed Berge en Dale 59km tomorrow with same bike & Kit - Hopefully plan to win again? So where did you place...?
Nakoota Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 So where did you place...? He won http://results.racetec.co.za/results_by_event.aspx?RID=9820&EN=Sat%2024%2F02%2F2018%202018%20BESTMED%20BERGE%20EN%20DALE%20%20CHAMPIONSHIP%20%2859km%29 Wish I had half that talent :S
scotty Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 Assuming the U16 had their own start group that would make it a solo effort to beat the 2nd place rider in AM by over 13 min.

Stupak, it has been alluded to before, but it is time you challenge yourself over the full race distances. Clearly the short stuff is too easy for you. Plus most of the top riders are there, so you will get a better idea of where you fit in.

Jaco Steyn Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 This race is one of my top three races apart from the big two, being the 947 and the CTCT. My top three are the Macsteel Carnival City, Dischem Ride for Sight and Fast One. Due to various circumstances I have had to skip the Macsteel Carnival City and RFS for two years in a row now, which saddens me. The CTCT is also not on this year.

Long Wheel Base Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 Who is in?For the first time in 14 years I am doing the short one. Not fit enough for the long one and want to do at least one race before I do Argus. I am so unfit I will probably struggle more on the short route than I normally do on the full route. I tweeted the organisers about number collection on race day. They said there will be for unlicensed riders from 05h30.
LongDonkey Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 NEEEEEEDDDDD to do a sub 3:15 to prove i a getting fitter and faster. CL start so it is possible. See if i can wheel suck for 3 hours....
