Zoo Cookie Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 congratulations! , chillie pepper & beee, on winning the ladies tandem.
Alida Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Enjoyed the ride' date=' but sure had to work on it. Starting in B group and going out my legs were a bit stiff but i manged to stick with a small bunch and after a while my legs felt good, did a lot of work at the front when the 1st bunch from C caught us, stayed with them a while but they dropped me just before the half way turn, started another bunch of about 7 but dropped them shortly after the turn into the wind and solo'd for a while before a big bunch of mix B's and C's about 40 strong caught me. I stayed snuggled in the middle of this bunch till the end. About 1km from the end it was a mad dash for position 999 and the predictable happened with a huge crash in front, resulting in half the bunch going down. Manged to avoid it and crossed in 2h52 (pretty poor time when my half way split was 1h10. I was expecting about 2.45) [/quote'] Yip - I was in that crash. Someone took my friend's wheel out from under her, I slammed on brakes to miss her and my other friend subsequently smashed into me. 500m from the finish line - was the 2 seconds that guy gained really worth it?? Anyway, friend in front got taken to hospital because she came down pretty hard and was complaining of neck pain. She's ok though - no damage other than a few stitches in her elbow - I spoke to her earlier - very stiff but fine. I got to finish and so did the friend who crashed into me - 2h50.
AuctionLamb Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 GEESH!!! I though TCS is not riding anymore, see you guys got a result....why you guys riding tandems now?
FlyingCheetah Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Started in HL. Doing around 40km/h until the turning point. On the way back, someone clipped my back wheel and fell. He also took out the lady on his left. I managed to stay on the bike and turned around to make sure they are OK. Could never catch up to the group I was riding with. Eventually ended with a time of 3:47. Next year I might have a decent road bike. Currently using a cheap Dunlop MTB. Enjoyed the ride though.
Chilli Pepper Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 het die taylor tannies nie gepuncture nie? Jip, dis wat ek ges? het?! Hul het 'n probleem met 'n wiel ontwikkel - weet nie of dit 'n puncture of 'n gebuigde rim was nie. En dit was een van die gewone Taylor dames (Ingrid?) en haar dogter wat gery het - flippen sterk!!Chilli Pepper2007-11-12 02:19:59
Cruxpearl Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 het die taylor tannies nie gepuncture nie? Yep...We were second at this stage' date=' then unfortunately/fortunately the Taylor ladies tandem had bad luck with a wheel and we passed them. (Sorry girls, we had our turn with the Lost City - it sucks I know!)[/quote']
Team SL Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 het die taylor tannies nie gepuncture nie? Dit was nie die Taylor Tannies nie maar Cherise se ma en suster. hulle het 'n pap wiel gehad en het dit reg gemaak maar die co2 canister wat hulle gehad het het nie gewerk nie.
bored girl Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 oops posted my so called report on the other forum.....
Spinnekop Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 GEESH!!! I though TCS is not riding anymore' date=' see you guys got a result....why you guys riding tandems now?[/quote'] Not riding?

We decided to have some fun at this race.....and got some results to show as well while having fun.

It was a guy with a AL number that came past on the right hand and hit a cat eye right in front of me, he the was thrown right into the middle of the bunch and when he fell took about 5 or 6 riders with him. I don't know why and what he was sprinting for - Moron Scotty, I think I briefly talked to you when I latched on to the group with 35k to go. I said, where were you, we've been waiting for you. Was it you?
Spinnekop Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 HAVE to mention this.....TAYLORCHICK WIPPED SOME SERIOUS BUTT!!!! Congrats girl!!!

Thug and I were doing our thing about 20 k's from the end when somebody fell infront of me. Took a hard fall, badly bruised and helmet broken, front rim damaged beyond repair. Karsten guys (LBS) helped to improvise the rim and finished with e group. Hope to be ok for 94.7.... very sore this morning, but ok.

Alida Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 I don't know why and what he was sprinting for - Moron My sentiments exactly!! At least no-one was too badly hurt.
