Day 1

Km 115 of 500

 

[JacquesJ]

Trying to do as much of it on trails as possible, but balancing family time, work time and celebrations will mean I have to fall back on a long road or idt ride or two somewhere.

Hoping for 50% of the kms on trails 🤞

For some, including that @Spinnekop oke (skud jou kop ou lyk my hy raas!), it's not really a challenge 🤔

Look, that is some mental exercise to spend 12h on an indoor trainer. However, I do feel that the kilometers are covered quicker on zwift due to the bunch draft effect. From Volkers ride it shows very little elevation gain and he most probably spent most of the ride in a "pace partner" group. 

As example, I rode with pace partner "coco" this morning. 2.6 w/kg average resulted in an average speed of almost 39 km/h. No way that you will ride that speed at that power outside. 

Just an observation though, still a great achievement. I also spend many miles on zwift during this challenge, due to the crap weather in the northern hemisphere at this time.

I’ve done 100km with the pace partner group, and it’s about a 2:40 ride time. There might be a few coffee breaks in there too.

i see two Saffas did 400km together.

Outside loops... Crazy.
