Cyclewizz Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 Slavey - just make sure to plan yr 2011 in this fashion. Factor in the DC at end of Nov.we have a year to put together a 12 man/rider team.We obvioulsy wont go down there to ride 5:11 , but can comfortably aim for a 6:30 ish ride. A team starts with 12 riders and 6 needs to finish to get an official placing. Over 200 teams do it and I'm sure we can too.Lets make it a goal for next year and plan properly in the new year to actually achieve it.We already have kit thanks to ha ha, we have a team name and we have some riders, so we need to decide what else is needed, get it on paper and plan how to make it happen. We need to do 3/4 160+ k rides in the 4 months leading up to the event and we'll be sorted.Think about it, if you can only complete 3/4 of the ride its still fine, and besides its not all in one go, there are feeding zones where one can stop, get freash bottles, somethong to chow etc............. lets just do it The problem with what you say here is that I actually know that you are serious. The good news for me is that I can do a Joe Louw & go sit in the pub while you guys show the others what it's about. The top 6 riders are Andy - he's just a natural, doesn't even need to train and still finishes with the top guysPaul - the most dedicated cyclist I knowHa hA - he's already done 1 DC & numerous 150+km ridesAgterOs - also done 200+km rides (as part of his IronMan training )Nancy Drew - has a red bike & already has a number of endurance events on her CVBig S - well he's just a machine, on the tar & dirtSalve - will be the 7th man just in case the SRAM brakes, lots of talk until the start line but then he'll be off like a rocket and if he see's a truck.......... I'll be the 8th man and make sure you guys all get enough liquids into your system Tequilla / Martinis for AndyTea for PaulHa hA only needs 1 water bottle for the entire rideAgterOs will have some scientific formula that he's made upNancy will require some Jelly Tots/Babies, PotatoesBig S is a machine so he wont need anythingSlave will be very happy with his Vitamin S(cotch) Hannah can be the cheer leader and shout encouragement :clap:

We will definitely win then!

No missing bike rides due to any other 'miss'

We watching you. I plan to miss out on the vitamin S and go to bed early. And I hope you are not watching me.
Slave Posted December 3, 2010 Author Posted December 3, 2010 Slave, you are now officially in DC 2011 training, dating, drinking, etc are all subject to you sticking to your training program. No missing bike rides due to any other 'miss' Frikadel!!!! Dude. Dating is in. I am looking for a half decent indoor trainer, 'k? The last one had too many technical issues. Besides, The more different directions I travel to work from, the more training I will get with my commuting. ok, so officially I am part of the team and in the absence of a directive from Captain Trubie (or is it Andy) I will see how hard I can drive the slow bunch tomorrow. I have a confession to make. I have been lazy this week and only commuted on Monday. Seriously got to make up for it next week. Maybe I will go long tomorrow. Still waiting for a directive from my captain though.
Slave Posted December 3, 2010 Author Posted December 3, 2010 At least I'll make sure he is home early to do DC 2011 training on Sunday! ;-) Er if it's all the same to you dudes. I think I will manage this one all by myself.
Slave Posted December 4, 2010 Author Posted December 4, 2010 So now that I start to ride in the south you not riding Slave? Eish! I thought that you are going to give me a Tour of the Southern Hills on Sunday. Dude, whenever you're ready. I just need about a month or so to psyche myself up. Or a truck to chase. I just got back from what has been my most awesome ride this year. just shy of 60 and without doubt, one of the hardest rides all year. I decided to run with the big dogs. Up the steps I even chased a truck for about 20 seconds or so before I bonked. What a magical ride. I feel better than James Brown.

Now you can do it again tomorrow!
