Trackie, best of luck to you Gavin.

Wannabe, I was at the front of the bunch for the first 60 odd km.The guys at the front that were working kept the pace around 30 to 35km/h mark. I'm not sure what caused the group to bunch up. I can tell you that there was little cohesion in front in the first 20km. I too will probably not ride the race again.

Well said Dick !!!

Sorry KlapperKnopp I did not look at any bikes. I can't answer your question if it was fair or not, all I can say the purpose of riding along the centre line (if the riders do not cross the centre line) is to put the race in the gutter and force the weak riders out. As it happenned I fell out the back of the bunch with about 30km to go (I was buggered). This is the first time in a race that I have mixed it up in the front. ( I'm normally content to wheelsuck at the back) . I sat in the front few riders from the start and only after the left turn at about 50km I drifted into the group. To be honest if a couple of the guys in front actually worked together I'm pretty sure we could have got a succesfull break going. I think the biggest problem was that there was no proper marshalling of our group.

KlapperKnob, I was in the B bunch and was doing alot of pacing in the front as no one else seemd to be interested. And yes, I took the pace line to the centre to try shed some of the riders (hoping that they would not cross the white line) or to force some more riders to share the work in front. But the group crossed the white line which if you noticed caused the motor vechiles to pass on both the left and right. Instead of moaning about the guys in the front doing the work I would say you should be having a dig at the guys who choose to break the rules and move over the white line.

Thanks

Does anybody know of a coach in the JHB region? and what does it normally cost for coaching/training programmes?
