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

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...

Ja, recovered from the bee stings but for some reason I'm a bit off honey these days!http://1.1.1.5/bmi/cdn.bikehub.co.za/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/huh.png

 

Good to see those bees did NOT take away your sense of humour!!! Regards to Annie! What is next on your agenda....Epic again!!? or maybe Joberg2C?

did he actually physically punch you?

sheeeesh report the guy, he doesn't belong on the road, or on a bike.

 

Bad sportsmanship. thumbdown.gif cursing.gif

 

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.

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...

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.

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...!!!
