Shanster-SA Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 Gee you gonna be a lot faster than that. I did a sub 3hr last year for the 103km. I think you should target a sub 2hr. i havent be cycling long but i'm aiming for 2hrs20min max but im sure my lady friends can do it in 3hrs.
Zerin Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 The Dischem 65km nearly killed me as any hill murders me. Hoping this weekends 65km wont be as bad as the Dischem
Klappertjie Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Much easier.According to my Polar, Carnival has 595m of climbing, I think the 94.7 has close to 1000m. Thanks! I seriously sc*ewed up on the 94.7 and I'm looking forward to a long ride. Simply went too hard, too early and paid penalty points. Lesson learnt.
Spinnerman Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Very flat ride. Especially the shorter distance. The route profile really doesnt paint a proper picture.
Klappertjie Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 i havent be cycling long but i'm aiming for 2hrs20min max but im sure my lady friends can do it in 3hrs. Shanster, hopefully they not gonna ride away from you! Are you training in and around Bedfordview?
jarek.pski Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 This will be my first race, also my only race before the argus. Looking at the profile it isn't so bad... Past few weekends I have been training and doing over 110km at once at times (around Sterkfontein caves area and Lanseria)I should be ok?
scotty Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Its flattish but don't underestimate the race, after the fast downhill into Heidelberg its undulating from then on and if you've over done it you could find yourself battling the section on the R23 back to the start, unlike the R4S you finish on a slight uphill.
Shanster-SA Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 Very flat ride. Especially the shorter distance. The route profile really doesnt paint a proper picture. thanks spinnerman i'll keep that in mind next time.

Gman1834 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 7:49?u sure that's not a typo? "no it are write" 7:49 CL as posted on the web.
scotty Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I'm sure you'll do fine Shanster, just be aware the route on the R23 from the R550 join is shared by the long and medium distance riders so try keep as far left as you can, Look for the big tent top look alike that covers Carnival city and you're home.
Trubie Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 "no it are write" 7:49 CL as posted on the web. ya, saw it now toolate start - eish! hot hot hot by that time already
