Please, please, please tell me you are joking/sarcastic because otherwise it must rank as the most silly advice ever dished out on the Hub.

 

As to Advice I am Joking.

As to Silly, No, Just Crazy.

 

View other Thread were I will be riding an average 255 Km everyday for 15 days.

 

Why is another issue.

Slept for 3.5 hrs yesterday afternoon and about 7 hrs last night - that is how tired I was. Oh ja, figured out why I started cramping - lack of water :blink: Had only finished one 850ml bottle for the entire race. I think I must carry a watch that is set to beep every 15min to remind me to drink because otherwise I forget :thumbup:

Have another look at your race tactics, SirK... You are doing too much work in front, I'd say. That is not fatique which is normal from racing. That is exhaustion, man. :unsure:

Hope to join MariusL and bikemonster on some morning rides this week... :P

 

I'll be doing a PolkaDraai Stellies tomorrow morning - leaving at +- 5am... followed by an 8km jog to work (have to get into IronMan mode)...

 

Let me know if anyone is keen to join my morning ride...

I can meet you at Zevenwatcht Mall if you want. I've got a loop that starts in S/West goes along R102 right at Z'watcht mall and over into Stellies and home along the R44.

Morning ride was beautiful... fresh brisk morning air, roads quiet (until I hit Stikland)... then a little 5km jog off the bike... now I gotta try and stay awake at work today :)

 

What time did you guys get back from your ride?

Posted

Guys, I'm doing the Klein Joostenburg ride on Sunday, and will be pedaling through from TygerValley's side to get some decent miles in for the DC.

 

I'll be leaving from the cnr of Old Oak & Durban rd at +-5am (it's about 25-30km to the start from there).

 

Let me know if anyone is keen to ride along...
