[Event] Tour De PPA

[Tiny K]

Tiny you don't wanne be telling me this after the past wknd's "lack of legs" experience. I was really hoping to get back some confidence this wknd.

 

Lack of legs.... what happened last Wednesday?

 

We waited after the 5 laps for more than 5 minutes and Jaco said we might as well go coz you probably called it quits early.

 

Punishment for you for you sins

I will be with you in E. Did you start in the D to E group past sunday?

Cool.

See you in the mix.

 

What fiets you ride so I can ID you?

I am on a black Cannondale with green bar tape.

Anyone here racing in 'E' with me?

 

Still thinking what group to ride, may join you in E, just checked the pedalpower website now and my reseeding was done

[Meezo]

You think its gonna be a big E group, maybe lotsa guys doing STARS

My Roller Coaster and 3passes from last year originally both came in at 6, then in July reseeding they went up to 10, now down to 5 .

 

Not complaining though

They did the same with me, 2 older results were changed. They used the best 4 results cause the one was a shorter route

 

Not complaining either

I think groups may be smaller and they will combine 1 or 2

 

Most of my cycling buddies and people I know are riding STARS as well as a few hubbers

Sunday's race was a D-E grouping...

 

It's all about rider number management on the day.

Just yanking your chain. I'm in H (only just ), and when I get dropped I struggle to latch on to the I, J, K, L, M (you get my drift ) riders that comes past.

Can see more of the same happening on sunday, as my legs are extremely tired after all the km's I did over December (overdid it, I must confess). Luckily Hels is at such a time that my legs might have had enough time to "wake up"

It's a really cool route - like a combo of Klein Joostenberg Race & Medallion...

I ride a white/black/pink CKT. Will be easy to spot. Not too many pink bikes in the buch Will see you at the start then

 

@ Tiny: Yip! I was knackered last wednesday. Started with gym training again recently and did legs wednesday morning. Would not have stuck anyway with fresh legs. It carried over till sunday. Taking it easier this week to hopefully have a better result this sunday. If i can stick with the front bunch in our group then im happy. Might even consider re-seeding in a week or 2. Good luck with your race sunday. You as strong as a ox now so you will have good result

Jaco-fiets, I was smoked sitting with the Anderson Jaco. We only really worked hard the last two laps after dropping you - I was dead after the final sprint (which I was lead out for so Jaco got a lekker tow). See you tonight? I am still considering and need to get off work early....

Ridiculous! Just merely because your stats are all on the short routes - I am at 10.56 but all on long routes....

 

See you Sunday man!

Its harvest time for us so not much riding for me till end April. Have our Italian directors over here so i have meetings from 11 till 8pm. Hoping to get on the bike 2 or 3 times a week. That is the reason i spend more time in the gym 1st half of the year. Don't want to be a fat slob when the lekke races start in September.
