[Event] Cycle Lab Cape Cobra Challenge

['Dale]

Sorry also for Bailing in Simonstown. Did not want to get drenched again, and riding in such hard/strong rain is a bit dangerous for me. Going down Smitswinkel I did not have much in the way of brakes!!

Was however a nice ride, and I still ended with an avg of just a tad over 29km/h.

Hopefully will see some of you guys again at the 99'er recce on Saturday.

You missed the grand finale of the final 3 climbs!

 

Must say the thunderstorms around Cape Point was spectacular.

['Dale]

Thanks for the awesome ride guys

Zac Dude, cool to meet you, man.

And your dad too.

 

It was quite an adventure this ride.

I was impressed with the numbers that rocked up on the day.

 

It is a special route.

Yeah, but my legs thanked me. . See you Saturday.

Thanks for the ride guys. And for waiting on the hills for me. I guess I'm being punished for having been off the bike for 8 months. Hopefully my form will return soon.

 

Are we doing another Tour de Peninsula this year?

 

Correction: next year before argus

@ Tubehunter,

You looked sharp there, mountain goat.

 

@ niklasvm,

Good to see you in the mix again.

Get those legs back soon. Welcome back!

 

@MTB_Roadie

Hope your cables get sorted out, man.

Welcome to Sram! |Great product...

 

@ Tiny K,

Not your kinda route, I know.

You're a Hushovd type of rider who is more suited for rollers and less serious climbing. Thanx for coming out from Wellington.

 

@ MariusL,

Good to have you in the mix, man.

Hope those KCNC brakes were not too dodgy down Smitswinkel.

 

@tjommie

Lekka to meet you - enjoyed our chat entering Simonstown.

 

*Thanx for a lekka ride - I'm out*

SO you were the dude with the DC bag on your back?

[Tiny K]

What happened at the boom at the foot of Maritime climb... glad you could rejoin the ride.

 

To make up for the lost opportunity, I suggest 10 x repeat of Maritime climb...

 

What happens on the ride, stays on the ride.

 

To add to that, What doesn't happen on the ride, stays on the ride. :lol:

[Spat]

Maratime or Oodendal or Vissershok

X-Man,

Good to meet ya!

 

Have many sweet miles on your new machine!

 

 

Likewise!!

 

Thanks for organising a great ride! All the best

[MTB_Roadie]

thnx for the awesome ride guys!

 

@ Dale, luckily I hardly needed the big blade as the 39 worked perfect for all the climbs, just span myself dead on the flat sections and descents, but it is sorted now

 

Will see you guys the 31st

[Zac.A]

Lol! Mtn/Club100

 

What was your power going up maritime?

Noticed the powertap

[Zac.A]

Oh, and My dad and I will be joining on the 31st if the weather isn't too treacherous
