Imploder Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 Is there a way to see how much climbing everyone has done? I only commute 8 times a week so need an average of 32.5km and 425m elevation per commute.Got the climbing so far in the 2 commutes to date but short on the distance. Opps. I had a monster climbing day yesterday: 580 + 322304 this morning. Sitting at 1206. Took this yesterday at the Top of my ride - Sandton in the background.

Took this yesterday at the Top of my ride - Sandton in the background. That is some good climbing. I had a horrible start as I was going to test a new route and the nicely buggering up the loading of the route on my Garmin. If I want to have chance I will had to do a mini Everesting thing somewhere in the week but don't think I will have the time for that.
cat-i Posted May 8, 2018 Author Posted May 8, 2018 At 118 km, I'm almost at the first waterpoint of day 2. If it was Sani2C, the hard work would have started with that long climb out of the valley.For me, tomorrow will also be hard work - my legs are certainly feeling the 1672m ascent in the last 2 days.
Bateleur1 Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 You are doing very well Cat-i. My challenge got a nail in the coffin last night with a meeting that kept me at work late, forcing me to commute straight to home and not some scenic climbing route and with a hectic schedule next week I had to come directly to work this morning. So sitting at 1151 meters at the moment.

Yup, my legs were cooked this morning - didn't bother with any detours. Straight to work.Climbing meters sitting at: 2024m

Bateleur1 Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 At least I got to commute with two others this morning and we hammered it into town with a moving avg of almost 34. Made up for the lack of climbing.
samson99 Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 Yup, my legs were cooked this morning - didn't bother with any detours. Straight to work.Climbing meters sitting at: 2024mWell done Imploder.I am sitting on 1678m and 125.5km. Going to be tight to complete the challenge.
Imploder Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 Well done Imploder.I am sitting on 1678m and 125.5km. Going to be tight to complete the challenge.Thanks Samson - Everybody is putting down some impressive numbers. This is a really tough challenge! But super fun....
samson99 Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 Morning all, How is everyone feeling today? My legs are toast. But managed 188.9 km and 2580m so far.This afternoon will be 32 km and 500m. So need to do 40km and 313m tomorrow morning. The climbing is doable, not so much the distance.
Imploder Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 LOL! Look at me trying to squeeze every last km out of this mornings commute
Imploder Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 Currently sitting at 2731m climbing - with three more commutes to go I should have the climbing covered. THE PROBLEM - I've got to find 97km in the next three commutes. Today's ride home is going to be critical. How are the rest of you doing?
samson99 Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 i have two commutes left. Managed to do the 189km and 2580m in 6 commutes so far.Agreed, this afternoon will be the critical one.
cat-i Posted May 10, 2018 Author Posted May 10, 2018 Today every Sani2C rider (Trail, Adventure, Race, Commuting) is out there.except maybe Bateleur, haven't seen him upload this morning - when is your public holiday? I' just arrived at waterpoint 1 of day 3. Total ascent so far is 2901. I was a bit broken yesterday but feeling much better today. Legs are shot!
