Jorrie Posted December 6, 2012 Share Well done on all the good times! Managed a 2:11 wheelsucking the $ group, as a MTBer never thought I would ever go as fast as this on a bike, scary at times! With 10 km to go my time was 2:00, doing the last 10km in 11min was just crazy! Almost felt like cheating to just wheelsuck, but pace was just too fast to do anything else. Actually felt I had a better race last year in the front of A where I did some pulling. Any way, nice to see what its like in the elite bunch!

Cippo Posted December 6, 2012 Share To wheelsuck the $ group with a Mtb is an achievement IMO. Must've been a 29er with slicks. Lol. Meezo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capcha Posted December 6, 2012 Share Yeah, I'm also there. Sorry about the cracked lens thereafter, Capcha! http://1.1.1.4/bmi/cdn.bikehub.co.za/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/whistling.gif Do you have a way we can search for other images or do we wait and check every refresh cycle?Nah dont worry about the cracked lens, its only like 6-8k. Its the camera i am worried about. All the pics are up. its obviously a bit more tougher with events where there are 2-3000 entries plus. smaller ones are easier and able to shoot multiple pics of almost each rider. I am busy with some great new ideas for larger events and different ways of shooting not many people have thought of before. just like you guys and pros get their off season, mine is now too which gives me time for sometging new to test. Standby, this is going to get awsome.Site will also be updated per group number, making it easier to search. Almost forgot. There will also be 2 different websites. one for the fun riders/ sunday sportsman and then there will be the serious go hard or go home sportsman and woman website. So now you guys and girls know what to expect from next month. just on another quick note, thank you one and all for all your support and purchases this year. Wether it was a sports event or just a portrait, i am nothing without you.

Jorrie Posted December 7, 2012 Share Must admit, for me it was tougher than most 60-70km MTBing events. With mtbing you go as fast as you can for as long as you can, when you get tired you just go slower till you recover and then chase again. With the elites you go anyway as fast as you can, problem is when you get tired and want to recover in the same time someone launch an attack you really need to bite the bullet!

Cippo Posted December 7, 2012 Share No I didn't - where do I see it? Go to racetec page and look for your results. There is a small icon in far left corner that takes you directly to your pics from race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
