Just a question or 2

 

Do you do the distance in one go? Stop only to eat? Cyle through the night?

 

How long are your rest breaks in between?

NOW I got heavily confussed trying to go through Atlantis.

Took me a while to reach the Philadelphia road turning.

 

By NOW my feet was my worst Enemy.

Suffering with HotSpots, every couple of KM's.

Very tender and Raw.

 

Pushed On.

 

Over the N7 and Past Philadelphia.

Fine.

Got to Adderley road.

Great.

 

Now I WAS PLANNING to take MalansHoogte road over to Bothasig.

That plan DIED with my front Light Dead.

 

I carried on cycling to Durbanville over Adderley just with my Flashing tail Light.

By now I was really cycling slowly.

Stopping at times.

There the Phone Whistled it"s last Breath.

 

Getting into Durbanville Hub,

I headed towards the Engen Petrol Station for some WARMTH, FOOD and place to play with My light with other Batteries.

 

In Walks this Chap who Greated me with "You been Out Training?"

I Responded with, I dont Know which Died first My Light or My Body.

 

"He asked If I am okay?"

To Which I Responded, I am trying to get Home.

 

"He offers me Lift."

I accepted and Thanked Him, offering to cover his trip.

 

@Durbanville 23H30. Total of 40Hours on the Go

@205km=18.6/ 11H

@262km=17.46/ 15H

Hello Tjommie

My plan with this Endurance training is to cover the Distance in under 24Hours. My riding time was 28H22 with a total time of 40H00.

 

I Stop according to Distance of around 100/150km unless weather forces my hand, Windy, Heat.

Then i will have to stop to take on water and drinks.

I carry 1.4L of Water and 1.4L Cooldrink on the bike.

I carry cooldrink powder mixes to use for later.

I take 3 Banana's with me.

I always travel light.

Tubes, Multi tool, Spoke tool, Chain link and pump.

Front and Back lights which will last for 30 Hour burn time.

 

I normally leave my house between 02H -03H in the mornings, I make sure of routes before and plan to be at certain Dangerous roads by a certain time.

Example. Du Toits kloof or Baines Kloof. I will not arrive at said roads before a Certain time of Day, for my own safety.

Most of the breaks have been for around 1 Hour, but at times say this weekend. I arrived @ Piketberg at 12h30 at night. Wet and Cold from the rain, I rested till 03H00 before carring on.

 

I am normally ready for any ride upto and over 32Hours.

 

Thank You

Hello Edge_Design

 

I am looking for a "27mm"

Thank you

 

27.2mm? If so then I should have a new aluminium post I'm willing to give you. Unfortunately it will only be possible to meet on Monday afternoon at the soonest which might be a bit long to wait with you riding schedule. If you don't find anything sooner than that then send me a msg.
