Lucky Luke. Posted November 30, 2011 Share Thanks, yes, I have 1985m for DC to be precise. Argus is just over 1000m as I remember. DC was harder than I thought it would be this year. I think the spring season has knackered me so I am taking some time off to ride my office chair for a week or two Chris did well with the UCT guys and I hear Nev has given him a ride with his team at the Burger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velouria Posted November 30, 2011 Share My race report is here, although to be fair it's a race report for 150kms, and then turned into an obituary for the last 50kms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha, thanks, that was a good laugh, much like your W2W Red John report. Andy is always in such a hurry and I see he left his girly crank at home for DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it does not slow him down, on the contrary, but at least provides some light relief before and after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rydogg Posted November 30, 2011 Share On a side note: I met a team along the way who seemed to be made up of 6 rich guys, who paid another 6 strong guys R1000 each, to ride with them, push them up the hills, do all the work, etc. I had a laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how the DC is won every year. Only it costs a lot more than R6000 to get proper strong guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
American Flyers Posted November 30, 2011 Share What is so funny about that? That is how the DC is won every year. Only it costs a lot more than R6000 to get proper strong guys Not only that, you have to provide an accomodation for them and also their flights. It will probably cost close to R20000 to bring them in and support you. Maybe next year, if I win lotto!, I'll get 11 pros and make sure they don't drop me and also help put me on hills. We might do sub 5hrs race! The only problem is that someone will always complain like every year in the past.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a plan! 6 guys to pace and 4 to push me, plus one with a copy of the rules taped to his bars - make sure we do it by the letter and nobody protests our new course record.

Rydogg Posted November 30, 2011 Share I know, but this wasn't a racing team. They were really slow. What's the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
