Meezo Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 3 D riders past me 500m before the finish i finished 3:08:01 do the math
'Dale Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 i started in B Twas good to see you in the mix again, Meezo. Hope your brother also finished safely.
fandacious Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) A group rode 2.53 so don't think d would have done sub3 Edited March 11, 2012 by fandacious
'Dale Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) why was it so hard.....? This year was tough weather.A combination of heat and wind.The 2011 edition was still and cool. I went up Suikerbossie shortly after 09:00, which felt extra long this year, and the sun was beating down already. Edited March 11, 2012 by danseuse
Funny Carp Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 3:03 was all I could manage :-( Thought I was going to spontaneously combust on Suikerbossie. Longest nine minutes of my life
TreeDodger Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) why was it so hard.....? Southeaster to Smitswinkel and then a northwester from mistycliffs! Not super strong but enough to hurt. On the nose all the way round. Pros were 10 odd minutes slower I think. Edited March 11, 2012 by TreeDodger
'Dale Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Southeaster to Smitswinkel and then a northwester from mistycliffs! Not super strong but enough to hurt. Yip!And quite a block headwind on the Oceanview Rd.
TreeDodger Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 3:03 was all I could manage :-( Thought I was going to spontaneously combust on Suikerbossie. Longest nine minutes of my life How many Ds ahead of you. I could only manage 3:08

Spat Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 I had a chain drop at the top of Nelson Mandela Bvd the chain somehow managed to go under the piece that supposed to keep it from dropping i struggled for about 15 minutes trying to get chain thro gap between blade and that thing when i got it on u just went home... gutted , did not feel like riding after that
Wrigs Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 3 D riders past me 500m before the finish i finished 3:08:01 do the math That would give them a 3:02 wow - was a lot tougher than it looked on tv this am.
