It sure was a hot day. Even with a 6:55 am start, I was struggling in the heat. Got to Kyalami in 1h08 and was heading for a sub-3... but the climbing and heat in the second half slowed me down and I eventually finished with a 3h11. Looking forward to the three races in February 2024.
We just needed to train for the weather. I had 9h25 start and mostly I ride out around 6am, so the heat got to me. At 2hrs I was at monte casino but that last 40km with Hyde park and Jan Smuts had me cramping all the way🤣. I will definitely be joining you with Monte Casino and Emperors. There's also Dischem on the 18th of February. By the way this was my 1st race ever 🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾

Well done Brad that heat was killer especially the 2nd half of the race. I could only manage 4h39

Nice on your 1st race! its probably the hardest one haha. The Emperors is a great ride.. its very fast and has about half the amount of elevation!
Thanks for the tip. Will definitely trying it out
Hi Brad. What camera do you have here, and where is it mounted?
It is a GoPro hero 7 silver. I used a handlebar mount, positioned on the stem
