Takes one to know one. Great that e TV screened it live, long may that continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted November 18, 2012 Share Top 15 in 2:29 from VA group very chuffed that a Capie(me) survived the altitude to finish with the bunch. Super result.Did you spend a few days there acclimatising? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted November 18, 2012 Share 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. Crazy...:-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agteros Posted November 18, 2012 Share I really need to get rid of this habit of popping at around 20km!Great day to be out on the bike. Pity about the wind though, although it kept everybody honest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bianchisti Posted November 18, 2012 Share Thanks, I arrived Friday 3pm not sure if that was enough time, it certainly didn't feel like it.At 2:29 your fitness is prolly the most important factor. I find off the bike its worse than when the adrenalin is pumping. milky4130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nettie R Posted November 18, 2012 Share 80km a guy was tacking fotos and a rider crasched into him looked very badI saw the photographer. He was crouched in the middle of the road. The wind was nasty from the left and riders hugged the right hand side of the road. It's easy not to see him if you sit in a big group. Hope he's okay,though.
