Veebee Posted October 10, 2019 Share 13km/h, Bah, that's nothing! Barely enough to cool you down on the climbs thats only for PMB... Hillcrest at around 30kmh and Westville showing 35kmh... lets hope this is totally incorrect or turns into a tail wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted October 10, 2019 Share I’ll gladly take three days of tailwinds riding from JHB to PMB and a headwind on race day, than vice versus. Hat [emoji3581]Coat [emoji3581]Door... on my way out [emoji1787] Veebee and Vetplant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Borg Posted October 11, 2019 Share Be properly prepared (i.e. train for at least 100km, close to the intensity you will ride on the day) as fatigued muscles cramp, and muscle fatigue when they are overused and / or for longer periods than they are used to. But a bit too late for this now.Make sure your bike is properly set up, in that your muscles work in unison, and not on their own, as this leads to fatigue and cramps. Also a bit too late now, muscles needs at least two weeks to get used to new position / manner of use. Be properly hydrated on the day, but this does not start on the day, you need to drink sufficient fluids in the days leading up to the race.As a last resort, drink supplements like Cramp Ease or similar, as it contains minerals that can delay the onset of fatigue. Not an exhausted list, but some of the more obvious things.Thank you all for the tips. A little late for some, I did try cycle a 100 km but I only managed 65 km due to time. I'll get a stash of all the supplements recommended. I should be better prepared for the 94.7 Wannabe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruity Posted October 11, 2019 Share Who else from Cape Town will be doing the Amashova this year? It will be my third, with the last one in 2006. This is one of my favorite races to do. The Wife and I will be making the trip a mini break, airline tickets and hotel accommodation already sorted.Lekker man lekker Wannabe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruity Posted October 11, 2019 Share I'm doing my third one this year. I must agree, its possibly my favourite currently. Even have my wife entered for the 35km this year, although it seems there isn't transport to the start for them. So going to have to come up with a different plan, or she won't ride.I wish I could get my Mrs back on a bicycle.

Fruity Posted October 11, 2019 Share Done Shova a few times over the years, although only did the 106km once. Has to be my favourite road event in KZN. Veebee, Wannabe and Frosty 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy the course with it's variety of terrain and views. The fact that it's also full road closure helps, just a bit. Disclaimer: I can't ride my club's race and therefore can't call that my favourite event. bmw1za, Fruity, Vetplant and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
