They wanted us out of the way before the Elites came up Ou Kaapse and down the other side. Also the intersections maybe?

Shortly after that I got a phone call requesting a tube and some bombs, he couldn't get it inflated with the pump and forgot his bomb adapter. So I rode out and the bomb worked fine, but his race was definitely over, fiddled with the tube for 20mins...

step in the right direction

I had an awesome ride, not sure of position but it felt like we were flying. Break up black hill and I missed it, catch them at Noordhoek with 4 other riders. Little bumps from Noordhoek to Ou Kaapse separate the pack and 3 riders fall off. Then we head up onto Ou Kaapse there's another break, my legs were dead from the chase and I just sat in in the group of 5. Upped the tempo going up and didn't look back, led from 3km out, looked back on the last corner, and there was no-one there. Was a great ride.

Mine is arriving on Monday, so then you will know

So someone gets told they have a contaminated sample, and the 1st thing they say is it came from some meat I ate. not, I wonder what happened? strange...

Pro classic website. http://www.proclassicseries.co.za/western-cape/events-calendar/summer-2012-/cycle-lab-cape-cobra-challenge.aspx for the cape cobra. For the rest of the season, details only get posted on the thursday/friday.

What frame you getting??

6 for short and between 7 and 7:15 for long league riders.

Haha, not as far as i know But if i get back in time then i'm just going to ride in L with a guy from my school. Otherwise I have to wait 3hrs for my dad to get back

I also thought the cobra was 85, when I did it in 2010 thats what my speedo said, but now they say 80. Was really looking forward to it, now we miss most of the harshness of the race. Was thinking of doing that, short then long, think i'll give it a go.

i'd go with the left one, not as garish and bulky.

Keen for that Will help with the build. Friend of mine was going down there and he slipped off of the bridge in the rain. Apparently his friends pale face and shrieks told him what he needed to know.

I've got other morning commitments every day so I can't, but if you're free in the afternoons just let me know.

Any time, I'm in Newlands, but flexible.

wonder what happens in a crosswind

It's quite steep, just be prepared. Also be careful of this trail in the rain, the wooden bridges become very slippery.

Rock up at a race with that and everyone else will just leave.

I'm keen to ride in the afternoons if anyone can make it.

C'Dale make an awesome alu one but i'm sure its specific to C'Dales save techno shaped stays. I just use a slapsock, easy.

For me the right hand side is nicer, more flowing, less brake screeching. But every know and then if I feel up to it then I go down the left. Also agree, looks a lot easier on a vid. Saw a vid of bridal path and it didn't even look like there was a rock in the road, although they did skip parts where I assume they were walking down

Cool! should have gone left just after the jump though, more challenging Must get myself one of these GoPro's!

Just got an e-mail from the PCS that the U16's have been downgraded to the 30km Lame. (as per UCI regulations, maximum racing distance of 80km) Isn't the cobra 80km? hmmm.

Yup, far as i know.

They don't take the year of the event into consideration (ie 2012) for seeding unless you pay them R50 for a re-seed with this years results, so your fate has been sealed my friend. You will start in A, unless you have a racing license, then you can start in Elites, even if you're slow.
