This team looks fast in the mixed cat

Joey’s is usually the first team to finish with all 12 riders… so our 6th just needs to be quicker than their 12th. Not sure what their game plan is this year, though. As long as they don’t latch onto the faster teams’ wheels, I’m not too worried. They do have a few strong guys.

That competition would be pointless… everyone already knows CMC Lucky Lucy Foundation is the King of the North.....😜

I saw the same just now. Perhaps a timing board issue MATTHEW BEERS's Race Results

It should be Hayley Preen. Looks like both Matt Beers and Alex Miller have some sort of issue on course.

It sounds like Keegan's back is giving him trouble

This is my Stats in & at 60.1 kgs. NP for race 250w. I was at the front of the group most of the climbs. Edinburg 1.72km 5.5% │ 347w 3:53 Smits last 1.65km 5.5% │ 327w 3:56 Little Chappies 1.42km 4.1% │ 318w 2:52 Big Chappies 1.72km 4.8% │ 342w 4:07 Small Suikerbossie 0.62km 4.7% │ 268w 1:29 Big Suikerbossie 1.86km 6.7% │ 331w 5:08

& felt less stressful than last year for me. This could be due to better positioning and staying at the front of the bunch.

Family Plan (strava.com) R375 per person looks like a good deal to me. Guess I need to speak to my friends

My chain dropped at 10km in, managed to get back to the front and then it dropped again at 16km. My clutch was off so rookie error. Changed my chainring from 40T to 46T for the race on the night before the race. I think I might have made the chain too long since both times I was on the 11t. I'm probably going to remove a link just for extra tension.

Entries closed already 😭

I don't mind naming and shaming someone that littered. It was Manfred LAMBRECHTS. Super strong ride, he just needs to work on his bike handling skills (in a bunch).

No, the guy I'm speaking about is ML. I think we saw the same person, as a few of us saw ML wobbling on his bike while drinking just after he almost caused a crash a few km earlier. But the reason I memorized his number was because I saw him littering and that made me angry.

I did not see any crashes in the "&" bunch but it was sketchy and stressful (More so than previous years), especially the first half and when the guys from "@" joined when we caught them. There was just one guy I identified that rode very dodgy in "&". During the race, I couldn't figure out how such a strong rider could have such poor bike-handling skills in a bunch. When I googled him now, I saw he is a triathlete and it all made sense.

I rode in & : 2:53 Avr Power 187 Normalized 235 Coasting 37m 21.3% 60kg I was mostly surfing wheels as I did not feel great. Last year I paced the bunch over Smits and Chappies. This year I struggled to get to the front with the bigger bunch to help on the climbs and when I got to the front my HR was already high. My biggest effort was at the bottom of chappies. I did pace a bit on Suikerbossie and over. I finished at the back of the group as I felt guilty for not doing more work.
