4u2nv Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 If you actually went over the mat with your chip, its called cheating.leave the poor guy alone. At least he corrects his mistakes.
Lucky Luke. Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 I have sent an e-mail to PPA just re-asking them to delete my result.
Meezo Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 leave the poor guy alone. At least he corrects his mistakes. I was just kidding in my posts , good on you Zac.A for owning up
D-Mike Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 i haven't ridden the s suburbs rides for quite a few years (don't like the aggro traffic in the area) and i climb like a bag of cement. okw is just too close to the start for me....i enjoyed the ride once we were over okw....the roads are still in as bad a condition as they were when i last rode. traffic on sp'se'mag road wasn't too bad but then again it was still early. wind was a great leveller. i couldn't believe that some of the long route riders were walking up the start of boyes drive.Guilty as charged. I started in N group and was hammering it up Ou Kaapse Weg, caught up with a bunch of L group riders on the way up. Tried to keep with a couple of a bunch that was just too fast for me. In the end I used most of my energy on the first 20km. From there on I just didn't have the legs. Used the short walk as a bit of recovery.
MTB_Roadie Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Good work today fella!! With hindsight I should have worked harder to bridge the gap to you on Ou Kaapse, but didnt want to go all out so early in the race. mistake! Look forward to meeting you in the Stars bunch next week!! Ross That was the reason we pushed a bit, we wanted to get rid of the regular wheel suckers, overall the bunch of people we were worked really really well, we caught a few more riders of F - G coming down Ou Kaaps but that wind pushed me all over with those deep sections, if you were able to catch is downwards it wouldve helped a you a lot, this race felt worse than a 100km due to this heavy bad wind, but checking out the times I think it is going to help the seeding a bit Will see you in STARS, don't really know what to expect, but the experience will help
Kanyon Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Anyone know of any glitches in the results? Racetec shows a total of 352 riders for 75km route... I crossed start and finish mats but have no result.

We were obviously fast asleep sucking our thumbs

We were obviously fast asleep sucking our thumbs haha, I used it to recover a bit but down Smits and Simons town through to Fish Hoek we had some nice pace ...I was in the front few there a while till Boyes, awesome ride it was Which one were you?

I had a blue Unior kit on. We saw you and another 2 guys in front as we left simonstown but everyone seem not too worried knowing boyes drive is ahead It is for that simple reason that I never reseed if I only move up 1 group cause the following race your old group catches and you just paid the 50 bucks unless you borderline to qualify for league

Awesome race tho, think for the conditions the time we all done was very good.

Awesome race tho, think for the conditions the time we all done was very good. another 1-2 races and you will move up another group.You 100% right for a break to stay away, you need a few guys that are prepared to work together, thats why I thought you did well to catch us. I enjoyed the race as well, its not always about the time, more about the experience. The wind definitely made it tougher and more interesting.Looking forward to Tour de PPA

I am supposed to be a G as well. but having entered the league stars cat I didnt see any point in upgrading now
