Die Burger Cycle Tour

wishing you guys all the best . next year im gonna be on your heels

[Disylizzy]

So are the hubbers getting together afterwards for a cold one?

 

I think we should!

[Tubehunter]

Yup, you had better have that beer ready as I limp over the start!

 

I still think they made a mistake with seeding me in F! At least there should be lots of fast groups passing me that I can latch on to!

 

Jeez, do you need the beer before you even begin?????

 

I would plan to try and crest Hels as G catches you rather than spend all your energy hanging onto F. It will still take a good constant effort and 3 minutes disappears quickly on a climb! The thing is to be aware that you have this as an option rather than kill yourself trying to stay with F over that first climb and then to be prepared to have a little sprint to jump onto the back of G when it comes by. Will drastically reduce your overall time!

 

Good luck! I'll see you there!

According to the time schedule as Andydude's post, and the mail we received, % is for Racing Women, yet, maybe I'm wrong, but didn't some guys get that seeding as well??

Racing Ladies combine with male riders for the % group.

 

Are you sure? Who would that be - Juniors, Elites and Vets not making the $ cut?

Yup, that's the plan. Go up Hels at my own pace, and then only start racing once I'm over. I should have plenty of groups that I can latch on to. I'd like to aim for a 3:15

We need to get Hubber call sign's. Any suggestions?

[Tubehunter]

Moving to Jhb next month... (I should still start a new thread to introduce myself to the Jhb crowd!)

 

Good luck with the move! Certainly seems to have a decent cycling calender up in Jozi!

decide on a meeting place (near the bar) if anyone knows the layout.

It's my pipe dream... not sure how close I'll get to it, but I'll try.

 

I'm thinking we should print out little hub stickers to pin on the back of our shirts or something?

[Tubehunter]

Make a little sign with your hub name and tape it to the back of your helmet. Best visibility right there!

Cheese mate, thanks!

 

If anybody want to leave remarks, comments or just to diss me, you're welcome at https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/123934-relocating-from-the-pink-city-to-the-city-of-gold/ so that I stop hijacking this thread!

Just need something to identify each other with. Sticker on the Helmet will work...but we need something for this weekend. Also a gazebo branded Thehubsa

 

I only know a few faces - Wannabe, SeaBee, Berry and Allez - so if I spot them I might get to meet the others.

Filthy. I'm out of the race this weekend. Absolutely dark about it.

 

Got a D seeding and was looking to put a decent 2:45 this year. Pulled a 3:01 last year and have been training as I love to race the Burger and ride the Argus (once I've got a good seeding) because it's such an all round experience.

 

Anyone want to carry my chip and get me a decent place for the argus. (kidding before anyone flames).

 

Ah well, it's anyones guess where I ended up in the Argus this year as the only race they'll count is my time from last year which was only a 3:40 odd.

 

Nuts.

 

Hi Hellocolour,

 

Would your entry be available for sale & substitution?
