NotSoBigBen Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 http://www.sabiexperience.co.za/blog.php?aid=22 Looks like day 2 will be a monster :- take no prisoners? ? about 85km and 2000m of climbing!
_BBi Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 2km of climbing in 85km = 1.3 degrees average uphill - nothing.
NotSoBigBen Posted September 17, 2007 Author Posted September 17, 2007 OK so I must assume that you've done it so can make that sort of comment and it may interest you to know that no you don't start somewhere and then ride uphill for 85k's but then again ja whateva!
I FLY Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 When Dennis thinks it will be tough then mere mortals like me worry big time.
NotSoBigBen Posted September 17, 2007 Author Posted September 17, 2007 When Dennis thinks it will be tough then mere mortals like me worry big time. I'm with you on that one!

I know it would be tough, just playing with numbers. Jip, did it last year.
vet pens Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 I?m not so worried about going up - granny gear / walking will do the trick? it?s more the fact of what goes up, must come down that?s the problem<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

mrmed Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 I'm very worried. Did the D2D yesterday, 114km, 1250m climbing on the road and it hurt, now I've got to look forward to 2000m and 85km on dirt and then the biggie 3000m and 120km+ at the Epic. I need my head read!On that note, anyone doing the Hill2Hill this weekend?
