Yeah, not to compete though, just wanna do as many hours as i can. Got my company year end lunch on sunday, so i'll do some laps, go home, eat, shower etc, go back, ride another few hours and so on and so forth...
Managed a 3:25:29 from group SS, and suffered a broken chain just before the Krugersdoro hway. Thank you very much to the guy who generously donated his quick link to me. I owe you one...!!!
Oh thank goodness...! I knew it was bad when i saw it. I even said to my riding partner that he's going to need heavy surgery to fix that n that i hope they can save it. I shouted to a photographer to get a medic to him FAST, just looked at me n kept snapping pix... Glad he's ok..!
The one guy (in blue toyota kit) crashed off the inside toward the end of that wooden 'bridge' we rode along. He was shouting "AMBULANCE, i need an ambulance...!!!" and clutching his forearm. I thought "shees aren't you over exaggerating a bit...?". Then he turned and faced my direction and i saw what his pain was about. Both his radius and ulna bones had snapped clean off at the wrist and were sticking completely out of his flesh, in the area where one would take their pulse, with his hand bent completely back, as if it could have just fallen off had it not been for muscle, skin, tendons and ligaments holding it on. It actually totally rattled me. Most disturbing thing i've seen since I've been riding bikes. I'm not squeemish but i felt sick. I got closer to that green scaffold bridge and started questioning if i should just unclip and walk over it, then straight to my van n go home n take up chess rather. I hope he heals up quickly and has proper use of his hand ASAP.
Ya i passed him at the start, orange camelbak. Sounded like he asked his spinning instructor to record him some of vat lekker kwaai tekno to get his hart beats pomping...
And it's a lot easier to obtain than one would think. Don't be fooled into thinking a doctor need be involved. It's as easy as walking up to the biggest dude at your local gym and asking where you might be able to get a lil of what he's been taking to reach that proportion. If he can get you juice, he can get you anything, stimulants, GH, EPO, you name it. And its a lot cheaper than you'd think. As Bob says, it's just like the eradication of heroine or coke, impossible.
