Nancy Drew Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Oxman... come on. we're talking about going over Breedts Nek soon. SBR will be a nice warm up @kieran - I need to play in the hills too
Guest Agteros Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Ha ha Os why not do the 90km to get back into it and tackle SBR the 29th? You crazy nutter! I've not done anything real on the bicycle since beginning of October (except for a few races - which just made me realise how out of shape I am) Now you want me to do a 90km ride PLUS a 50km ride in SBR!!! I'll die an untimely death.. and there are still quite a few things I want to do... which will not happen by 28/29 when you plan that death march!
Ha Ha Kieran Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 And I did all my training for SBR this past weekend at the 94.7
predictor Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Like I said I am training for ATTA on 16th. I need the climbs, wind, alt and time in the saddle. I am commited to 4 x Double SBR's + 2 taper weeks before Attakwas in Jan. I am not going fast but rather blue zone (2) dipping into green (3) for 6 hours on MTB. If I start at 8 I will be done at 2 just enough time to go home and take a shower get to friends and watch some rugby lessons. Have a good ride all of you and stay safe.
Guest Agteros Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 The past month the sum total of ALL my cycling has been 325km (all races... at sub par pace)About 12km of running, and one 40minute IDT session. I'm not right for SBR... trust me! oh... and most of the stuff I mentioned happened during the first 2 weeks of the past month Agteros2009-11-20 13:13:11
Ha Ha Kieran Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Ha ha ha ha! Get back in that saddle Os! Soon!
Cyclewizz Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 You guys all sound confused. Slave has retired but he's doing 100km ride on the 28th from Xumbugs to SBR and back. Ox, is unsure about what he's doing. You can come for a run at SBR. Kieran is also developing the same symptoms first he's doing SBR on the 28th now he wants to do 100km ride, maybe he's planning a revenge ride. Ride to SBR do the loop & ride back ?? The rest of us (Trubie, Andy, Indigo Kid, MiniMe, Nancy?) are still in for SBR on the 28th.
Ha Ha Kieran Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Ha ha ha! I want to play in the hills at SBR! Though everyone was going to do a 100km Fast One prep... I just want to ride so I was down for anything...
spaso9 Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 No:) was chicken with the cold and wet roads. Then felt guilty so punished myself on spinning bike at gym, and ran 5km's after. Mite try ride tom avi, at work now for my 24hr shift
Ha Ha Kieran Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Is anyone keen on doing the Centurion Challenge on the 5th of December
predictor Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Soooo, I said I would do double SBR on Sat . I pitched on Sat morning and it was not pleasant. But I decided to give it a bash and it was pretty alright for the first 11km's. The legs were there and the will was also but in doing the first 11 I managed to work up a bit of a sweat and all. As I got to the long down in the West side I froze to the bone. It was really cold and not nice. I worked around and once again worked up a sweat and on the down in the East had the same thing. The weather nevver got better and I was the only person to have entered at the south gate for the day. I abandoned my double with a time of 2:42. I must say that I did the entire loop in my middle and Big chainrings and never touched old granny gear Decided to go and complete my double this morning and had a great loop with sun very little wind and legs once again. As I got back to the car I decided to do a second lap and thus put all my energy gells / jelly babies / pvm together and figured I had enough for another 1.5 - 2 hours. Water was the main concern. I thus made a good choice and decided to do the shorter lap of the 2 leaving me with just over 5 hours of riding and out of all food and water. I ended doing 161km's with 3245m of vert climb and just on 8 hours of riding at 20.5kmph this weekend. Loved it and now I can show my face again in the Hub
Cyclewizz Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Predictor, you the man. 3245m climb on one weekend - one day when I grow up I'll be able to do that. Why don't the taps work at SBR ??
