You guys caught me napping up Joe Slovo. Tried to close the gap but could not. Burned all fuel to try and catch back up and that was pretty much the end of my day. Must say that it was my first real race on a road bike and it was my 3rd ride on a road bike so I was a bit inexperienced and didn't know much about bunch riding and rode pretty much at the back for my own safety as well as others.

Your talking A Bunch talent here. If I was able to stay with the C Bunch they would probably have pulled me to a 2h30'ish. Anyone below 2h30 I think is a machine!

Just as I started to think I'm the only one with Medihelp. I'm moving from Dimension Prime 1 to Prime 3. Seems the more I pay for my medical aid, the healthier I stay and the less I use it.............

Awesome!!!

My sub 3 is a genuine sub 3 because I could not stay with the bunch

I have not seen the video but I have seen some shocking and disgusting content on Youtube. Is it really as bad that they had to remove the video?

You go to work and never know if you will return to your loved ones. Very Very Sad. RIP

I was so thankful of the EFF to come and support the event. Will this influence my vote next year..................I think not. There was even a DA gazebo. But the lady was busy with her crochet and did not cheer my sorry attempt to climb like a pro .....................Now really confused who to vote for

They even showed this unusual behaviour of cyclists on E TV

I think the JMPD was pathetic. This was going on the whole day and they could not do anything about it. They were probably bribed with Chocolate Chocolate and therefore there was no chocolate for the kids next to the road.

Looking forward to next season. I have plenty leave and the boss said I must use it so I think I might just do the MTN series next year. Base training starts tomorrow, legs are still a bit tiered after yesterday's 94.7.

The MTN National series is on the Saturday and the distances are usually 70-75km (Marathon) and 110km (Ultra Marathon). The Nissan one you see is on the Sunday and is for the shorter distances like 40km (Half Marathon) 20km etc. Suppose it's just different sponsors.

No result on RaceTec for me I need this result for my seeding on Argus

Collected 4 bags and no safety pins either. Why are they called safety pins when they steek the k@k out of me almost every time I try and pin my number to my back

But I don't have my own place yet. Will I still be a Idiot if I take her to her mom's house? If her dad sees me in my Spez shirt he will think I'm such a pro

Because he lapped me TWICE on a nationals hosted at Fountains years ago.

That's how I remember Fritz................Always on the back wheel.

I cant see that A1 and 2 was the cause of the problem. The elite riders go through those sections with such speed that by the time the slower riders get there they are almost done with their race. They must get a decent climb in the early stages of the race that will sort out the unfit from the fit and then have a technical jeep track or something then by the end of the race the riders should be riding in groups of similar capabilities and whatever you do, DO NOT put a bridge in a race with this amount of riders.

Hahahaha. You guys still going on about the bottle necks. Damm, it must have been hectic. Seems it was a lucky miss for me.

Nope

Well even forks that have a lockout option does not lock out completely. They usually have about 10-20mm travel in lockout mode and according to me a fork wont bob that much on the road unless the pressure in the fork is totally wrong. I'd say no you don't need to buy a lockout fork especially for road riding but if you have the extra cash available it might be a nice option

Think on the bright side. Now you don't have to feel sorry for your bike anymore and ride it like a girl because you are scared of getting a chip in your new carbon frame.

EDIT: Never mind. I'm tired, overworked and grumpy this morning. Something's are better left unsaid......Soz

Put some Formula R1 on that bike with reach adjust

Do you stay attached to your bike when you fall of it? Also a bike can be moved out of the road but an injured person not. Why would they just pose for a photo like this? Hub publicity?
