Karoo to Coast

[ValeYellow]

Meeeeeee...And it will be my first one 

 

Fantastic, it is a great event and a good vibe throughout the ride - enjoy.

Each to their own I guess, but my profile pick says it all for me - thats top of Prince Alfred Pass, and we still had to conquer the mountains in the background. I guess for some it is just one of those events that is an annual must do. 

 

Having recently moved from Jhb to the Western Cape, I am looking forward to some of the events down here - any suggestions are most welcome

I agree with you there regarding the K2C being more fun and scenic than the CTCT. Even though I haven't done it before, and this one will be my first, from the footage I have seen, it DOES look a lot more appealing than the CTCT, which I have done 3 times already. I really don't plan on doing another CTCT any time soon.

Can't find the topic you started, another piece of advice, if you are relatively fit, do a few racetec events during the year to boost your seeding, otherwise you will start at the back,and will find bottlenecks at ou wapad, and then the descent after wapad will also be tricky with the amount of people, making a collision or crash a possibility. Try aiming for C batch, awesome people, not in too much of a hurry, lol

Going for my second one... I did the first one after lightly cycling only for a  few month and still made the cut off... Yet I entered the day it opened and I'm hoping to walk a bit less this time around

Ive done 5 k2c and love this event.

Had to choose between Matat2pont on the offroad bike or K2c. Matat2pont won this round.

Maybe next year

Training not going so well,to much work.Gaan bietjie swaar kry die jaar

It's been a better winter than normal for me..Think I have the new indoor trainer to thank for that! Last year was my first K2C, and I suffered with cramps from 56km until the end in 5h49min. As soon as I got off the bike I said I have to do it under 5hours next time, so that's what I'm aiming for. Fitness is better this time around and I'm 20kg lighter. One more big 80km 2000m climbing ride this weekend, then it's taper time!

[LuckyLuke]

Joh 20kg is going to make a massive difference, well done

[LuckyLuke]

My second k2c, aiming for sub4 hopefully, last time started in group G, had to walk a lot up ou wapad... Ugh.. Ended up doing 4:17

20 kilos of in a year is going to make you at least an hour faster with the added fitness on top. That is a fantastic effort

[Wayne pudding Mol]

More miles in me than last year but the diet hasn't been good. I have a few more kgs to carry up and down.

[Dexter-morgan]

Now I am suffering from serious FOMO, but Sani2c was enough for 1 year.

[RocknRolla]

yep, also had some thoughts of K2C on the climbs of the lowveld this past week-end.

K2C is teetering on my SS bucket list....
