djvr Posted November 19, 2012 Share Did not have a great day on the bike but still managed a 3:49. Man, that wind on the Krugersdorp highway got to me. Was on time for a 3:20 when I got onto the highway. First uphill was fine, then it was over for me. Laboured back to the finish.What a pity that the TV coverage in the afternoon did not show more of the people that make the day, the social riders.Once again very well organised and supported by the spectators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted November 19, 2012 Share I know IanJ crashed on the M1. In B group? I was a couple of riders behind the crash and only just managed to dodge it. Luckily... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards to Annie! What is next on your agenda....Epic again!!? or maybe Joberg2C? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean32 Posted November 19, 2012 Share did he actually physically punch you?sheeeesh report the guy, he doesn't belong on the road, or on a bike. Bad sportsmanship. Yip back handed me in the chest. If it wasn’t for the safety of the others around me I just might have grabbed his front brake and see how his brake check skills are.

Jigghead Posted November 19, 2012 Share wow!! I'm only 68kg so I doubt I could've gone any faster besides I like a clear view of the path ahead hence I don't sit the slip of other riders. I'm too chicken to ride close by on the downhills, I'm a mountain goat at heart so the roadie thing is new. I do weigh 95kg so that could have helped me :-) Where, past kyalami main gate ? Yup, tried to get a run up for the final hill... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helpmytrap Posted November 19, 2012 Share In B group? I was a couple of riders behind the crash and only just managed to dodge it. Luckily...There was a crash in B? Where?When in big groups, try stick to the front third or so. It's worked out for me in the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted November 19, 2012 Share There was a crash in B? Where?When in big groups, try stick to the front third or so. It's worked out for me in the last few years. Yip, probably around the Glenhove offramp or there abouts... pretty close to the front in fact. maybe 15-20 riders back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianMTB Posted November 19, 2012 Share Great day out again (my fifth 94.7), and a big thanks to the spectators - they make it even better. Managed a rather sedate 3H20 from G-group. Had a woman yell to me on the N14 that "Jesus loves you". It didn't feel like he was loving me that much right there, I have to say TALUS, The Big Bad Norm, StevieL and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baaisikilist Posted November 19, 2012 Share Managed a 3:25:29 from group SS, and suffered a broken chain just before the Krugersdoro hway. Thank you very much to the guy who generously donated his quick link to me. I owe you one...!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
