Tumbleweed Posted December 5, 2011 Share Ah Sven the caveman, jeez man he was chasing myself and Brett (tnose_e) in the morning to gain laps on us but it seemed he got a 'flat' as he pulled up with a bit of a limp .... Thanks for the encpuragement and chirps mate! Pleasure, bud! You did bloody well! Much respect! Yeah, I noticed he hobbled up to the podium!

Tumbleweed Posted December 5, 2011 Share That can only be the guys from the Zoutpansberg. There were three in the team with Air Horns . Ah, okay! At first it annoyed me as I couldn't get to sleep, but like anything you get used to it, and I eventually got to sleep properly at about 4. Only to be woken by a phone call an hour later.

facepalm Posted December 5, 2011 Share Wendel the hedgehogs which came out in the dark were a problem. I rode over one and couldnt repair the puncture- Just kidding. Thanks for the awesome event, what a way to spend a weekend. Thanks also to the okes from Germiston Wheelers 2. Their wheelie instructions were epic.

The Guy in Pink Posted December 5, 2011 Share Ah, okay! At first it annoyed me as I couldn't get to sleep, but like anything you get used to it, and I eventually got to sleep properly at about 4. Only to be woken by a phone call an hour later. Those Air horns are a great way of communicating on a MTB. On Wednesday night there were three of us with them in Roodeval Forest, and it helped keep the group intact and on the right track.

Danger dassie reported seeing what he thought was a "dassie" on the route. Now we know what it really was!

patches Posted December 5, 2011 Share Danger dassie reported seeing what he thought was a "dassie" on the route. Now we know what it really was! Danger Dassie is a lap-hog, not a hedge hog! Twice he rode past me at the transition zone, saying "1 more lap", before our switch... hahaha!

Tuxstir Posted December 5, 2011 Share Total amount of kays covered: 22 496. How was that looney rising barefoot? He apparently had a accident and had major operations, and since then cant wear shoes.You might have noticed his funny riding style, just shows you his determination to cycling. To the guy with no shoes , well done. Those airports were a damn good way of letting our team mates know we were close and to get ready .

TNOSE_E Posted December 5, 2011 Share Well done to Wendell for putting on a good event. @ BigBen......Fissan paste and lots of it!I am busy dictating (still cant feel my hands) a stern letter to Fizik about how their gobi has a shelf life and turns into barbed wire after a prolonged period of use. Thanks for everyone's encouragement. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/110662-24hour-rietvlei/page/2/#findComment-1543586 Share on other sites More sharing options...
