Mystery solved as Willie “only” has 235km

Commentators went on about 4000m ascent but Willie's Smit Strava is just over 3k which seems more believable Unless Willies Garmin reset when he was showing the motoman his wattage

Yip it's back to cyclocross & MTB for him. What a luxury to be able to make that choice. Nino wishing MVDP made a different choice??

In the repeat it looked she just rode into another rider. Guess she was pretty f&€ked by that time as she did a lot of work.

Oh you mean Limburg is full of mud. Should have guessed.

Home race because he's Dutch?

Thought about the corrugation yet?

Surely that roadie deserves a chance to have its wheels touch the ground again???

He's riding Amstel and that is his last tar race for the season

SAFFA invention. Hope the guys cashed out nicely when they sold to Gamin

Has that not been done in SA yet? Know a couple of local HRS members who could get very excited about that PS did see that some fruitbat did a tripple

That's fighting talk. Why don't you "cruise" to the SA record which as I have it is currently held by Benkie at 13.54 and done at Linksfield in JHB, see segment below. https://www.strava.com/segments/12298453 Make noise on social when you have done it!!!!

Why not tackle Breedts itself? That is sort of the monster climb. Plus the shorter ride does not go up the actual monster

Am with Odison on this. Sure the guy behaves a bit like a twit on a blog but I am willing to write it down to youthful exuberance. Like the fact that a SAFFA is taking up a challenge like this and hop he gives it a go at some time. It wasn't thought through properly and even a corpse muncher would have failed on that specific hill (IMHO). Disagree with the vegan that a record attempt can only be done in Oz as we have plenty of longer sheepish hill just not in GT. Maybe some Capies / KZN-ers can point him in the right direction?

You mean like ex smokers????

Nope MTB race is on Sat 1st of June, the run id on the 2nd

If you speak Afrikaans you’re good to go

Best commentary is Flemish. They really know what they’re on about

Not THAT we can agree on

No problem. Sensible people can disagree

Think Phil call everybody Paul at least once

Anyone figured this out. Mispronounces all names and knows fokol

Gonna go out and do a few laps this afternoon?

Not sure how many of you have tried Everesting. I had a go at it a few weeks ago and to spice things up we decided to do it on a dikwiel off-road. I threw in the towel after 5k climbing not due to any physical discomfort but purely the mental drain of doing endless repeats on the same hill. I am not sure whether I can do it on a longer hill and thus less repeats but am damn sure that doing 100+ repeats on the same bump is not for me (to complete we had to do 98) PS of the five starters, one completed and went on to do HRS in 29 hours. Utter madness if you ask me

Sjoe, your tires lasted 5 years? I get nowhere close
