A tad neater and they don't cut you! Although Grumpy says I put the cable ties on wrong that's why 😜 It would appear that I'm finally getting over the dreaded lurgi ... sometimes the cure is worse than the illness comes to mind. Hope you’re feeling you again. You missed a nice Winter Fast One, so really good conditions. Luckily they added a Spring FastOne, on 04-Sep. throttles, TheoG and NotSoBigBen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenH Posted July 30, 2022 Share I did my first race today, well, more of a fun ride. 60km GT-100 out in Meyerton. It was great and I'm pretty happy with my Garmin time of 3h05 over 64k, including a small detour because we missed an arrow and had to go back to the trail. I'm learning how to manage nutrition along the way and found the power of a banana! I had some mild cramps at 40km and that slowed me down quite a lot, but ultimately I had energy until I stopped eating because I thought the end was nearby and ended up an extra 4km over the 60km, but I made it and I'm really happy with progress from starting out cycling 8 months ago to doing a 64km ride in 3h.

NotSoBigBen Posted July 31, 2022 Share Thankfully I think I'm over the worst of my 'general air of malaise' The last 30k's hurt like crazy but then again it always does no matter what your state of fitness or health is!

The Ouzo Posted July 31, 2022 Share Vertically Challenged had grand ideas, these fizzled at the first real hill. But I still continued. just could not find a climbing rhythm.

Leaving Stellenbosch it was almost 12 degrees C .... but that windchill cut DEEP. Glad I kept on my double gloves, and all the thermal layers.

Just adding some variety to your normal airport loop and you’ll see the difference on rides like this. #happytohelp - ask in a PM if you’re interested ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnavel Posted August 1, 2022 Share I was fortunate enough to race the Imana Wild Ride for the first time last week - what an experience, albeit a somewhat tough one! Never done anything quite like it before! It really is something special, riding in such remote, but beautiful parts of the EC.
