Super Sywurm Posted November 15, 2023 Share I will start my year with an Attakwas on my Rapide Tigre. And probably some local races later in the year, like the Kelrn MTB Classic and the Witteput MTB Challenge. ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 15, 2023 Share 2 hours ago, The Ouzo said: It all depends on finances. The 2 that WILL be done are CTCT and 947 2 that I would like to do given finances would be Ride for Sight in Feb and either Kremetart or Parys outride in September. Ride for sight has an early bird discount of R100 for today until Monday. Then it goes up to R550. ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure it’s not fuel, as there’s nothing nutritious about gulping down vast amount of sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ouzo Posted November 15, 2023 Share oh and whilst not 2024, I thinking of attempting the Rapha 500 this year. mecheng89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 15, 2023 Share Some goals for 2024 will mostly likely be similar, at least for distance, elevation and duration. Underachiever, mecheng89 and The Ouzo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now the only day that is a no no for riding is 25th. But I'm sure my wife will find someway of messing with my plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def need to get a mate or 2 together to make it much easier. Still think the timing of the event is as good as it gets. November and December (longer warmer days) to get your sh*t in order. Yeah the logistics + entry fee + travel puts it on par with a stage race 😞 Can't afford to do it every year. Luckily this year I am in a group and we are sharing costs & logistics. With you on the timing, December is the best possible training period for me. Why people choose long warm days when you are on holiday to take a break from cycling is beyond me😕 That is what the middle of winter is for.

I'd also weigh alot less whilst leaving a slippery trail in my path. bananas and my gut have a love hate relationship, they love to hate each other.
