Jean-Jay Posted December 8, 2008 Author Posted December 8, 2008 actually i started at 15, quickly dropped to 12 then fought valiantly to keep it above 10, lost that battle and succombed to crawling up at around 9-10km/h Greatful that nobody walked past me, that would have been shocking
DRIVETRAIN Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 U think that sucks - we did the Ian Kernick 200 yesterday - all was goin well, ate, drank - we all pulled etc ... then on Kliprivier up to Panorama I could hardly climb -- rode at a Glaciers pace, blood sugar just dropped, I almost walked while the guys waited for me.... after some jelly babies at the top ......... we pushed home fast !!! "DT"
Dirtbreath Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 There's some cricket gear for sale somewhere on the hub. Maybe you can trade your bike in. Eat a few pies and you'll fit right in with the Proteas.
Jean-Jay Posted December 8, 2008 Author Posted December 8, 2008 jelly babies are life savers.... Have to agreeUnfortunately i had not cracked, i was still ok apparently

As for Boucher and Kallis I think those boys are tucking into more than their fair share of chicken.
pererace70 Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Then just don't ride Kloof Nek! It's a horrible climb when you're fit, let alone unfit tooHot!!!! You won't catch me dead on that climb (or maybe ONLY dead on that climb) for a while whilst I find my fitness again...
CaptainDura Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 I was doing 9km/h up Kloofnek on sat...... did kloofnek on monday morning after 5 intervals against the wind. my min was 8.9km/h and my max was 12.9. that is one steep hill. So i guess either i am just as slow as you or that is about the speed that an average rider goes up kloofnek. What say the other average riders on the hub. whats the normal average speed for the normal average rider, and whats the speed for the elite riders ?
