Who is ready for the weekend?

Mampara

You can honostly say they are ready for the 94.7? What time does every one expect to do.<br /><br />Personally, I think I'm as physically as fit as I can be without another 6 month's training but mentally I'm not quite there yet. If we're gonna have the wind thet we had this weekend it's gonna be hell.

All I can say is N14! Be afraid...be very afraid! :-\

I agree with Vo2, things will start to look bad when we head up Beyers Naude and will go all pear shaped when we hit the N14

My training (or lack of it) is done. Mental prep starts now.<br />Let's hope the wind plays along.<br />

At the risk of sounding too confident - I'm ready physically and mentally.<br /><br />Had a good race at the weekend and ripped the poor B bunch apart at the Coca Cola Kempton Race. Been hitting Kyalami plenty lately and having long rides on the weekend.<br /><br />What I'm really looking forward to is NO HYDE PARK HILL! Rolling hills like the N14 are pretty cool cos the bunch drags you half way up them (here's hoping I don't get dropped!!). I'm too heavy for sit down climbs like Hyde Park/Hekpoort/Krugersdorp.<br /><br />Had a touch of the stomach bug 2 weeks back but have recovered and am ready to give it big stick!<br /><br />We'll see afterwards if my &amp;quot;In your face&amp;quot; approach works <br /><br />

Eldron

<br />Time wise I want 2:30-2:40 but that'll depend on the bunch and the wind.....

Goat

Yep, lets hope<br /> ;D

Was ready physicaly until this morning. Woke up with a sore back. Will do plenty of streches this week. <br /><br />Mentally I'm not ready. I dont feel phsyced up, there is no aniticipation and last night whilst thinking about it I got a horrible feeling in my stomach.<br /><br />One mental thing in my favour was my ride yesterday. Took it real easy with the wind, never got my HR above 85% and still managed an easy 25km/h average over 40km.<br /><br />Looking to do the 94.7 in 4hrs. Anything better is a bonus.

1st Lap - 2hrs30 - 2hrs40.<br /><br />2nd Lap - Sub 4 hours.<br /><br />Lets hope the weather plays along.<br /><br />Mentally ready. 3000kms of training, so the legs should be ready too.

Our times are pretty similar so we should be near each other.<br /><br />A second lap? Count me out - after racing is nap time!

Lab_Rat

Probably A but I might be getting re-seeded into VA. You?

<br />B group - started A in 2000 but my 2 years abroad seriously impacted on my seeding and apparently I'm useless now &amp;gt;<br /><br />I'll see you next year in the vets - the rest of the team changed to vets racing in 2001 but I only top 30 next year. It's gonna be good!

Lab_Rat

I'm only 29 so I'll be the youngest guy in the Vets. We're doing the second lap for the Reach for a Dream foundation, that's why the re-seed. All the other guys are VA.
