mecheng89 Posted August 5, 2018 Posted August 5, 2018 Good afternoon folks! Hope those who cycled this weekend didn't get blown over by the wind, it sure is pumping out here in the Souf! Seeing as it's my 30th living year in 2019, I'd like to set myself a probably not very unique challenge, but a unique challenge to myself. I want to attempt to finish 30 events. I'm interested in cycling, mostly road but a bit of MTB is fine, nothing next level technical. Pretty strong runner, on and off road. Swimming, well, I don't bother with that! My cycling list, just out of memory looks like this so far (7)Fast OneR4VR4S947EmperorsAmashovaMidvaal 100Events I've missed out on that look appealing (3):Race to the SunTrapNet 360Garmin MTB race (I know I'm going to miss it, but at R50 entry!!)Running list:DischemRundelaRhythm runPharmaton EdenvaleI prefer events in Central Gauteng, but am willing to travel within reason. Races in other provinces are appealing only if one can make a weekend out of it. I'd like your contributions! Thanks!

mecheng89 Posted August 6, 2018 Author Posted August 6, 2018 Couple of suggestions:36OneCapital ClassicAny Nissan TrailseekerA lekker long Audax Sent from my SM-G935F using TapatalkI've done a handful of 200s in the last 2 years. Time to step up to the 300s, 400s etc.?
scotty Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Sticking to local there is also the 100 Cycle Challenge.
Jewbacca Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Would you consider doing things like Skyrun or Drakensberg Ultra Trail? Magaliesberg 40km trail run? Too much road running and you're bound to get injured......
