Team SL Posted October 20, 2011 Share Hekpoort climb is always regarded as the make or break point on the 114km circuit.A few years back i was seconding the vets 30+ race and my rider David Labuschagne broke his shoe shortly after starting the race.He asked me to give him his "nike air" tackie and so i did, changed shoe and kept on racing.Approaching Hekpoort i thought his race would be over as the climb with a tackie would be too difficult, wrong he broke away and left the bunch in there tracks and he and his brother took 1st and 2nd. What a great day for the Cyclelab Vets 30+ Team Found the photo's Edited October 20, 2011 by Team SL Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/108911-jacaranda-satellite-classic-2011/page/3/#findComment-1515315 Share on other sites More sharing options...
