  1. ESMERO ! Is the Club name (lol) ... you guys did well, I am training my Ass off , Yet you guys just fade away gracefully (compliment). Give me a smack on the ear next time, I dont mind saying hi... on a flat or downhil since I can hardly breathe climbing
  2. They announced the emergency number at the start , before every bunch took off, guys were actually joking about remembering it.( six digit number) . people need to pay attention and take note as it IS Important Thanks for the Videos Gary
  3. hats off to so many guys and ladies out there for performing like pro's. I rode C barely survived to the 70 km Mark. Got scooped up by some late A and B guys and we flew making up time... but alas, the cramping at the 90km mark forced me to struggle the last hour limping to the line. It was a great day for me,rode with lots of fun guys ... To the the misserable people: Its supposed to be fun (Gee wizz) !!! Final time of 3h37
  4. I'm also in CL... my seeding taken from 2011 and 2012 (wtf) ? Anyway... I just come off a sick week so im happy that im not up front with all the Animals (lol, a technical compliments guys)
  5. no numbers yet... is the starting group list available?

    Hi Guys ... very last minute ... buddy pulled out and gave me his number... i got transport and accommodation sorted, now the big question???? will I be able to legally substitute at the convention as online is closed ?
  9. Well Up To the organisers, This event was TOPS... MY Ride.... whole other story, went too hard in BL the first hour so ended up cramping to HELL , Thanks to the marshalls for assisting(legs locked up and almost took some guys down...so sorrrrrry). A Pathetic 3h06 but hey ... I Had an awesome time !!!! To the idiots who leave you out in the wind after pacing (those lazy A-Holes who never come through, but refuse to let you into the bunch), Thanks for Nothing
  10. Great stuff ! Thanks for sharing !
  11. lol, I'm sure you will be fine, I did a 3h10 last year from E ... but I am happy to start in B . Good Luck !
  12. They say be careful what you wish for... BL Start for Me ... I get to experience bleeding gums (assuming my bike can be fixed after the crash at R4S) . Fingers crossed
  13. I know exactly what you mean I Cant wait till I'm stronger so I can play with you guys instead of the afternoon starters
  14. I look forward to the outcome, thank you sir (just curiosity)
  15. Sadly , You can lead people to knowledge... but you cant make them think ...
  16. E Bunch report : Seems that the 4kgs I lost helped a lot today... Until the crash on the 60km mark(I got slaamed from the left by a rider in red and white kit), almost put me under an oncomming Truck... I shat myself but kept it together . Sadly that guy went down hard ... very hard (any feedback please). I went on but the bike took some damage , Crank clunking and Big Blade only , Nicely in time for the Hills. Kicked myself for that 54 chainring (lol).Needless to say i GOT dropped after the stops trying to get gears working. Had a great ride in spite of the bad result (3h30). Thanks to All the guys up front for making the time together so much Fun
  17. Great Job Gerald ... See you there
  18. Thanks guys, i dropped 10kgs so far... work in progress , I know it helps
  19. T i do that cos I struggle on climbs(100kgs excl the bike), but guys get upset..they think i'm attacking ...(hands over eyes)... and then they dont let me back into the bunch. So end up on the tail at the next climb, then inevevitably...fall off at the next climb
  20. Tough day for me in D, popped the hell out of myself trying to support my wingman half way up Hillsnax. (only to have my legs totally killed by Robbert broom drag). Got to Lionpark then stopped to fix his chain which I first had to go find at the top of Lionpark Climb, rode back down , repaired , then back on with cold legs ... bleeding gums ... urgghhhh ...Those last 3 kms were hell !!! Maropeng stretch : There was a guy on a stunning 29er, Black BMC softail (dude... catch a wake-up, you need to hold your line, swaying between the shoulder and white line almost taking out several of us was not cool) . It was a joke , he held a peloton off cos we were to scared to pass. Anyway... anybody see the tiny kid (looked like a 12 year old), he stuck in the bunch with a smile (i was impressed) Well done to all ... some awesome results Our club got podiums in elites ladies, juniors, and vets ... hey , hey, hey
  21. my buddy got taken out by a car last year(white toyota) about 10 ks from the finish ... flipped right over the roof into the veld... he was ok(bike not so much)... but im back too
  22. lol.. Too Cute
