I have just entered this event. It is March 13th in Cape Town. Rather late and not a lot of time to prepare.

I am reasonably fit, 54, regular cyclist. I am commuting 56kms a day two or three times a week. The route is about 110kms with 900m of ascent. Notorious for wind though!

I can get the distance no problem at all.

Any recommendations for a compressed training programme to get me round in a decent time?

Thanks everyone !

    Have done 4 of these - you'll enjoy it!

    Sounds like your fit enough to get round in a decent time. With expected particpant numbers you might want to get used to group riding. Any local cycling clubs you can join for a weekend run? Also consider some early season sportives.
