The run is the Randburg Harriers Valentines night race Big%20smile (http://www.entrytime.com/index.asp?GoTo=EventInfo&EventID=2652)

The MTB is Breedtsnek, plus some more on the other side Ouch

 

After all of that, I can't imagine bettering my previous Babbas 35km time Cry

No chance, training for Sabie, so Saturday also doing 100km mtb plus the 70km Babbas on Sunday.  Have a funny feeling Monday is going to consist of a lot of lying down LOL

A lady friend of mine recently bought a MTB' date=' so maybe we should do the fun ride together ? I think the flat and non-technical nature would suite a beginner ?

Excellent route for someone starting out.  Just take it easy on the short downhill after the short uphill, the rest - flat.

I don't have the Sani on my horizon for this year (I might be convinced otherwise for next...)

 

Just busy doing base building-ish things at the mo, but would REALLY REALLY want to go do Babbas ... Cry

 

My Monday will consist of a lot of sitting upright and paying attention

Hmm

wyk satan! Don't give me ideas now (I'd prefer to hang on to my 'last Babbas time' and not spoil that last memory with a slower ride) My 70km time needs some improving though smiley2.gif

 

I'm doing that 90km with some 'Sani people', so guess that is why I misread it.

 

I wanted to do Sabie, but eventually decided on Carousel. It sounds like the east rand is full of pot holes, so it will have to double as an off-road race smiley36.gif

 

hmmm aaah uuhm, what to do... kill myself on one weekend.. or drag it out over the rest of the year...?

Thanks for the offer, but after yesterdays training session (suffer fest) I think I'll rather give Babbas a miss this weekend. I'm running every day of the week (Mon to Fri), and Sat a long MTB ride. Sunday will be my coach potato day smiley1.gif

 

Should be there 14 March though...

I'm sorely tempted but it just seems one hell of a drive from Jhb.

 

 

 

Any hubbers from Jhb central going through and want to share a ride? I'm in Parkhurst.

 

 

 

Erik, closing date & time for online entries is 18:00 tomorrow. If I enter, I'll send you a PM and we can arrange to travel through together.

What time you hoping for, also what distance are you doing at Sabie?

Just remember to keep some in the tank for the second lap!!
