Ride from Pretoria to Durban

[_Daemon_]

Busy trying to plan this for early december, about 600km's down so roughly 200km's a day at the slowest rider's pace, which would be me, so it will be slow . Just trying to see who would be keen on something like this, if we are enough everyone can pitch in togheter and we can maybe get one of those sprinter van's as a support vehicle.

Hmmm... When in early December?

[Cois]

There is a oom in Bronkhostspruit (Bob Wolf who cycled to Margate a year or so back. 

I would love to join, but I am working

All depends when most people can make it. Maybe the first weekend in Dec?

Would love to do something like that one day.  But this December is out for me. 

[tazman]

Would love to, but alas I have to work.

Maybe next year!

[DRIVETRAIN]

OK, it's like this... On the 3rd December I want to do the triathlon at Midmar right. So if we leave Saturday the 2nd December, could we ride 500km's on day 1, then we overnight at Midmar, I do the triathlon, Monday we back on the road and roll into Durbs by the afternoon, comfortably breaking all previous records for the distance!!!  What do you think?

I think your insane...

 

[bikemonster]

Pantani you could do even better.

 

Time the riding so that you arrive at Midmar just before the off, suitably warmed up.  A cooling swim and a run followed by a bike ride (or is it the other way around?) and then cruise on out of there, with no nampy pamby "overnighting".

 

I am sure the organisers would be happy to mail your prize to you.

[Pantani]

Bwahahahaha... "nampy pamby overnighting..." That sound so Detective Inspector Grim from The Thin Blue Line!!!  

[sebunya]
