Guest Posted October 22, 2012 Share That was a proper ride!Very happy with my 3h47min. Had a serious sense of humour failure on the loop after Greek church. Got my physio booked already for tomorrow. I was feeling too shattered after the ride to stick around, sorry. Karma, were you on that lumo green GT that was creaking and sounding like it was going to fall apart? I passed you just before or after passing jcza after the Greek church. No that wasn't karma, that was a dude in cyclelab kit. Great ride Ross! Yup - I was praying that the thing will hold until the finish... Well, the there were 2 Sensors with issues on the day.

Ross with that time of yours Karma was FAR behind you. Think you saw one of the other two okes on th green GT's. I actually spoke to the older oke which had one and he compalined about the BB making those noises...think that's the guy you saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swift01 Posted October 22, 2012 Share @rouxtjie no you don't cause you didn't expect that Jou Bliksem climb after the church For once and I do hope I have learned, I drank enough and didn't blast it at the beginning. Ok not too easy to blast it at the beginning and keep up with the geared bikes at the start on an SS with 32x18. Felt like an amature being left behind in the dust. You spin but you don't go so fast.

You spin but you don't go so fast.Also the legs had a couple of metres in them by then....never again am I passing "jou blixem" on a training ride...it was also a head thing I reckon... I rolled into the church grounds....fresh...ish still, thinking its home time and I didn't stop at the previous waterpoint so I had exactly one perpetuam gulp left to the end, "knowing the route home".
