udxcob Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 The SS guys were doing some serious grinding up those hills, crazy
scuzzy Posted March 25, 2012 Author Posted March 25, 2012 I must also say, Iwas very worried about traffic and parking and whether Meerendal will be able to cope, but I think it was handled quite well and the event went off without any unhapiness. Great seeing the guys going up there. Gonna be an awesome race, a two horse race? The prologue certainly lost the GC contention for a few teams, barring mechanicals from the front runners.
'Dale Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) No i wasnt on the final climb but it was hot as hell out there today, not to mention dusty ... just yanking your chain... Yip! Saoder ooked in good form today.Burry had a lil fall earlier on the route, losing front wheel on a turn. Edited March 25, 2012 by danseuse
Tankman Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) Some interesting bikesThere was a team riding single speed - Williams Bike Shop, I think Yup, that is Henk from Cape Town Cycles in the first photo on his snowbike! And that's right William and Nico from Williams bike shop are the nutters on singlespeeds! Saw quite a few hubbers giving it horns today, well done boys and girls, keep it up, just another 750 odd km's to go! The mountaintop finish with Tablemountain in the back ground is truly spectacular and made for some stunning photos. Awesome day in our beautiful Cape! Edited March 25, 2012 by Tankman

Tankman Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 William or Nico ? That is William Keith from Williams Bike Shop and his partner, Nico (Tuggboat) Van Zyl is also on a SS!
ubie Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) On the last sprint to the top, these guys flew out there. Edited March 25, 2012 by ubie
scotty Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Seriously impressed with Theresa Ralph from Biogen Britehouse, 2nd Ladies team. Theresa has a full time day job so has to fit in training where she can. Great ride by Evans and George, Evans particularly looked very strong.
Agteros Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Raynard TissinkYou should actually post it to FB, and tag him. It will be a nice change(shock!) for his triathlon fans to see him on a MTB
Bronabee Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Awesome pics! Thanks for sharing. Awesome pics - was great watching it live. I am not stoked with SS only having the highlights at 22:00. Bit late to be honest but I guess they need to edit the footage. Gonna have a few late nights this week I think... I plan on watching it tonight and i have to be up at 445am! :S
