Red Robin Posted November 13, 2019 Share They sent out an e-mail with a LINK, complete the form and Bobs your uncle. They sent so many mails initially that I sort of stopped reading them so I missed this one. Renier82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaper Posted November 13, 2019 Share Reroute out of Steyn City and left onto Cedar onto Witkoppen and left to Douglasdale? My sub-3 hr 847 , could be on! More likely turn right on the lion park road towards lansaria and then on the lansaria road to Malabongwe Dr, thereby avoiding the settlement. Will add distance so your sub 3 might not be on!

Fat Boab Posted November 13, 2019 Share Anything is possible buy Malibongwe runs adjacent to the settlement too! Gravel road detour through Chartwell for the Strada Bianche vibe! ????

Red Robin Posted November 13, 2019 Share Guess I am as ready as I will ever be for my first ever 947, first road race ever too I was never chasing times but wanting to have fun but I have still trained a bit so I can enjoy the day to some extent. Have done quite a few 85km plus rides and 2 x 100km plus rides interspersed with studio training. Unfortunately never quite found the level of elevation needed but managed to incorporate what hills I could. Definitely much stronger than I was before but still not very fast as I tend to get sidetracked and look at the scenery etc and legs slow down... People I have been training with who have done lots of 947 say I should be quite ok. So got slicks on the MTB, charity top has been delivered and tonnes of sunblock. Excited, scared and nervous but mostly looking forward to it. Blokman, shaper, Vetplant and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait, riding it with a slower buddy, but I'm so fat and unfit at this stage it might be a 4h Z5 effort anyway.
