Jehosefat Posted March 1, 2022 Share 40 minutes ago, HdB said: Depends quite a bit on your average everywhere else But, if you can average a smidge over 20km/h on these two late in the race, you can probably average a high enough speed for the rest to make (or just not) a sub-3. In 2020 I averaged about 17 on Suikerbossie and did a 3:03 so 20+ seems about right for just sub-3. mecheng89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselnDust Posted March 1, 2022 Share 5 hours ago, K20Champ said: on average, when riding a sub 3, what is the target speeds and times up Chappies and Suikerbossie? You want to ride the segment from the entrance to the larnie lake view gated housing estate to the top of suikerbossie in about 35min. tou want to get there innnonlonger than 2hr05min leaving you 20min from the top of suikerbossie to the finish. This is touch and go stuff, 2:59:59 to be more comfortable you want to get to the bonin sun valley in 2hr. If not rather enjoy the view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaseTheAce Posted March 2, 2022 Share Hi All. I'm starting in 1B at 6:40am and I would like to ride into town as a warm up with a couple of people to get to the start. I live in Tableview, does anybody or groups within the area have a similar idea? It would be cool if I can meet up and tag along on the ride in. If you or you know of anyone who will be doing this. Please send me a PM. Thanks, lekker! mecheng89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll probably see other cyclists on their way to the start around that time though  Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking of following the bus route I haven't used the bus/cycle path in town much in ages, but I used it once in a big group and was happy to see that there were police cars there now, not sure if they police it on regular bases but it used to be a hotspot so everyone stopped using it. Personnaly I'll be using the cycle path until paarden eiland then on the road all the way into town (including that little bit on the n1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannabe Posted March 3, 2022 Share Good news (or maybe not so good news due to my distinct lack of training) I will be doing my 18th CTCT this year. Thanks to Eddy and and the accommodating staff at the CTCT Race Office. I will just wing it on my hybrid, hoping my knowledge of the route will enable me to finish without suffering too much. Anything less than 5hrs will be a bonus to me. TIB, Pieterlab1, Skubarra and 7 others 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
