Did a 2h31, missed my target by 1min but on the plus side I won the B batch!

 

Did anyone check that Marshall who crashed around the halfway mark? Hope he's ok.

Yeah, we passed him. It happened quite early, before 07:45.

Came across a crazy woman in a white cab and half driving as a second for a VB rider. Our group hooked on to theirs after they passed us and madam thought she could squeeze through the riders despite nowhere for her to go.

Wonder how her husband feels about his damaged rims after she cut the corner short, tyres screeching, ploughing through a resident's rock garden on the pavement while deliberately trying to cut off the group on the inside. Her rider should be DQ'd.

How was it that she was allowed on the road.

Did you get the rider's number?

The CSA rules regarding support vehicles are very strict.... The team or in this case the rider could get in big k*kkas.

80km a guy was tacking fotos and a rider crasched into him looked very bad

And I'm ex-Velo, if that counts.

@Helpmytrap - Well done !!!!

You "killed" me.

Did a 2:42; target was 2:40.

2h53. Not a PB but happy to break 3 with that k@k wind.

How long have you been riding with them? They used to be my home back in 2009.

We don't know which rider she belonged to. The group was fairly big. She had an 'official vehicle' sticker up, no branding on the car. The VBs didn't have a lead vehicle so acc to a CSA official technically there should not be 2nds allowed for them either. Sound like the orgs allowed that. She was the only silly following the group. Not even Nic of Fullard out front had a car.

We were on her outside around the corner when she almost lost it. But everyone's ok, thank goodness.

Did 3:15 from Y. Got a late corporate entry so I felt compelled to start with the guys who got me an entry. ITT'ing from the back there in that wind and heat is not easy.

 

But it was enjoyable. Time to buy my own road bike.
