Wannabe Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Tx Az. the roads are open though right? i mean there will be public traffic on the road? Correct, no road closure. But you are not allowed to follow a certain group / cyclist. Better to leapfrog ahead, wait for the group to come by, do your snap snap thing, and then leapfrog ahead again. -Az- 1
Capcha Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Yip. know all about that in the TDF. only way to take good pics. Snap you guys tomorrow Wannabe 1
Wannabe Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 What stunning day for a cycle race!!!Hope it went well for everyone, with no mishaps or trouble. A bit (ok, actually a lot) disappointed with my time. My front hub started seizing up, and created a lot of extra resistance. Managed to stick with the front part of my group up to the left turn at the Paardekraal Prison, when my front hub seized good and proper. Had to release the QR completely, with just enough clamping force to hold the wheel in the fork. Struggled on, with group after group coming past and me unable to latch on. HR was in the 180 bpm region for most of the way back. Ended up with an avg HR of 172, max 189 bpm. Strange thing was that I still felt good / strong, even with the high HR. Can feel my legs now, though.
'Dale Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Well done, D Ville High School.They really organise it so well. Powerade, Chomps and bananas at the finishing mat, with cheers and songs.Cheerleading with incessant energy. Wonderful. Denny Menchov and Collie Hond 2

Thor Buttox Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Great organisation, D'ville High! My first time at the race and the atmosphere is fantastic And the downhill on the MTB race was terrifying... I now know my brakes work effectively!

T-Bob Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Went straight past the finish line and missed all that gear. I was more focused on getting in early on the free massages from the Stelli's physio students. Loved the Toga watering point tho, great touch!
Skubarra Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Well done, D Ville High School.They really organise it so well. Powerade, Chomps and bananas at the finishing mat, with cheers and songs.Cheerleading with incessant energy. Wonderful. +1 Definitely the most enthusiastic cheerleaders I have seen at a local cycle race So nice to just get out of bed, get on your cycle and be 2 minutes away from the starting blocks.
Cippo Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) Well done, D Ville High School.They really organise it so well. Powerade, Chomps and bananas at the finishing mat, with cheers and songs.Cheerleading with incessant energy. Wonderful. Where? Where? All I got was a 'bompie and a coke'. Awesome organisIng, genoeg parking. Yooh, there was this guy that sucked my wheel till we got past Fisantekraal and then as we just hit a little rise he passes me and buggers off. Caught him much later with 20 to go and he sucked again for 2kms till I burned him off. Vat soo! Edited October 27, 2012 by MCipollini
