We are introducing some changes to our traditional format and we look forward to gettiing your feedback on this.Details of the pre-ride are as follows:Cost: R100 pp per dayStart time: 7:30 SHARP (please register before 7:15)Venue: York Sports Grounds (just past Merry Pebbles)Distances: 78km, 80km and 55km If I didn't have a wedding to attend on Saturday I would've been there for the pre-rides. Enjoy it BigBen.
santacruz rulz Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Note the slight changes on the website especially the start time! 7:00 not 7:30. There will be a whole pile of us staying at Glass Bungalows for the pre-ride - see y'all there.
Frosty Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Hopefully the organisers publish the Garmin files again from the pre-ride. Makes the uphills a little easier (mentally)

NotSoBigBen Posted November 1, 2009 Author Posted November 1, 2009 Wow that was 3 great days of riding. Friday was really tough with the rain and mud. Yesterday and today was fine though. For the first time in our 5 years of going there I rode a hard tail (only Sat and Sun). Was cool, man that FLX climbs like a mountain goat!
Dirtbreath Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 So what's in store for us? Compared to last year?
NotSoBigBen Posted November 1, 2009 Author Posted November 1, 2009 let me just say do hill repeats (long hard steep ones) from now till the race!
Dirtbreath Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 let me just say do hill repeats (long hard steep ones) from now till the race! I am in deep then. Should only be back on the bike in 2 weeks time. What's with the TT on day 1? I like finishing off with it.
