bleedToWin Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 Not much wind predicted, but if it blows it's a 20km gutter from halfway into a 10km block headwind before a 20km tailwind section on the rollers into the finish...

HOPING there are some more fun riders .... or it may be a long solo ride ... there were plenty of people at cwc buying their first racetec chips today and asking how to mount them…. Assuming they wont all be doing the short one, it should be well stocked with punters. This and 99’er early Feb is usually prop vol people getting their one and only 100km seeding ride in for the CTCT. Its my first one for the year too…so Ill be plonking along as well. Been enjoying the “falling down mountains on a mtb ”thing too much lately to put in the work on this side of cycling. But it’s time to remind my legs and butt what 100kms in the saddle feels like again😅 Ps: hoe laat begin jy? Ps2: Toemar, sien nou jy weet nog nie. Edited January 21, 2023 by MORNE Scary Rider 1

ChrisF Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 (edited) WOW !!! What a nice event Weather played along nicely .... though the later riders probably reached the 30's .... Stiff little breeze on the way back. @MORNE was good to see you out there. You were dropping a lot of roadies on your MTB ....

You were dropping a lot of roadies on your MTB .... if only...I was on my 50c gravel/monstercross bike, but same difference when chasing down racing snakes I guess haha. I had a good ride too. My fastest 100km to date for sure. Watch said 3:35 (starting from J) but i'll wait and see what the actual timing says. Hauling a 16kg enduro bike up and down mountains obviously counts towards fitness too. Miffed though. I lost a bottle (my only one left filled with water) at around 75km....basically a km or so after the water station....so had to firstly take it slower while pulling AMPs....and then actually had to stop at the next water station to fill up. So defo lost some time on that. Anyway, still happy. ChrisF and Scary Rider 2
throttles Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 Nice race today, pity about the wind 😬 ChrisF, PappaWatTrap and Scary Rider 2 1
ChrisF Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 In that valley it is wind or heat .... Those finishing after 11 had both wind and heat ...😬 throttles 1

I saw you taking the selfie and probably a km afterwards I was dropped like a rock. Bonked so hard I thought of taking a nap on the shoulder of the guy next to me. throttles 1
