Stretched@Birth Posted November 18, 2012 Share Interesting day out on the bike. Started behind the charity bunches, so resigned myself to the fact that I'd be dodging riders, and not being able to organize a group to work together. Ended up just over 4 hours (4:09 odd). Helped some one with a tube, pumped it for him, not so much as a thank you. Two guys with matching Dogmas, saddle bags swinging from the saddle and peaks on their helmets, would have taken some serious abuse from some hubbers. Have picture evidence...

Lack-of-thankyou-ers deserve a thousand thorns in their tyres! (Trying to rhyme something with "may the fleas of a thousand camels visit your armpits" ) BwahahahaPost those pics!!

TALUS Posted November 18, 2012 Share I nearly did the same thing for the 94.7 MTB. Give it a bash but I doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bateleur1 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Was my 11th 94.7. Set the day out to ride with my sister. She had a very good OFM and the scene was set for a 2:50 at the start of the day but as we started it became pretty evident it was not going to be a good day on the saddle for her. She had a rough few days and fatigue was evident. We stuck together but I know the time will come when she would let me know to go. On the halfway mark the clock was at 1:47 and I knew we can kiss the sub 3 good buy today. As we climbed Witkoppen she said I must go. I shot like a rocket and decided I to see if I can still make that sub 3. Did it with 10 seconds to spare . My sister at the end only lost 7 minutes to me so not too bad for having a bad day. We then proceeded with a friend to do a half a second lap and support another friend. That was great. It was a good recovery ride and migled with the masses. Will do that again.

arendoog Posted November 18, 2012 Share My first road race .3h20 on MTB .Started in group mm and avoided traffic from the gun .Rode hard to get a better seeding for next year .Highspeed crash in front of me when fast female rider tried passing between 2 riding buddies riding abreast .Hopefully will be in better seeding position next year .I think I might get a road bike and do more road cycling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berry Posted November 18, 2012 Share Unfortunately this is a rookie mistake. seen it happen too much. its called depth of vision or view. when u look through your camera lens it is hard to judge the speed. in the zoom lens u see the riders being for away and ur brain is telling you its still fine u far away meanwhile the cyclists are barreling down on you and by the time u take the shot they only a few feet away...result, no time to move out the way.NO SORRY this was a local with his cell Edited November 18, 2012 by berry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigghead Posted November 18, 2012 Share My first proper road race, did last year with my wife on a MTB, she didn't do much training so it was very gentle. Did 3:41 without managing to latch onto a group. It was also a borrowed bike so I'm quite stoked. Edited November 18, 2012 by Jigghead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
