Bonus Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 He slid past me in my Sky Team cycling top with a cheery "morning", and just as I was about to say to my partner "that looks like Chris" the team car slid past me and confirmed it. I managed to catch up and rode with him long enough to say "morning Chris" and have a few words, then it was all over! LOL I'm hoping for big things from him next year :-) Lexx and Denny Menchov 2
kosmonooit Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) Around Jhb I just see lanky flash of activity and then he is gone - me on my heavy pavement warrior slugging along, phat chance of howzit and a chat. Although I would like to suggest he find a new team, this thing with Sir Brad is going nowhere. Edited December 30, 2012 by kosmonooit Chro Mo 1
slowpoke Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 He just glided past so fast I don't think he even heard us slow folk greeting! Man it was hot out there today. My friends and I rode (suffered and crawled) from Broadacres and decided next week we have got to start earlier. Bonus 1
Bonus Posted December 30, 2012 Author Posted December 30, 2012 It was cooking. We started from Something Country at about 7:15 but that was an hour later than we really should have done to get finished before the heat!
Leg breaker Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Rode with him for a bit, nice guy. Greeted and wished him good luck. I've seen alot of pro's there lately. On thursday i saw 6 sky team members riding with there own Jaguar following them. It was K@k hot today. Got there at 6h30 and left at 11h00. Garmin told me it was 39 degress by 9h30!!! Bonus 1
Bonus Posted December 30, 2012 Author Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) I had a 42deg Max on my Polar. Ave was 36deg. Mental! When I met him at the 94.7 pre ride, he came across as a really nice guy. I took some photo's with him and had a chat before, during and after the ride. (Possibly moving towards stalker terrirory ??) Edited December 30, 2012 by Bonus
Dgas Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 He came past me going up Krugersdorp hill. I was in a low gear grinding up the hill, he was out the seat sprinting. Only realized who it was after the team car came past as well. It was hot in the Cradle and even worse going up the hill.
kosmonooit Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) Maybe its the masochist in me but I actually enjoy the heat - did a round of Suikerbosrand yesterday at midday (and plenty of climbing there), and today out on the streets of Jhb enjoying the empty roads. And nothing like a dip in the pool when you get home! I am sure the overseas based pros enjoy training in Jhb and surrounds over the peak of our summer 1) Its training at altitude 2) the quiet roads 3) some great routes 4) being with family and friends, and 5) spoilt for choices in terms of dining out. Anyway, thanks guys for the positive PR for Jhb. Edited December 30, 2012 by kosmonooit
Magnetic Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Every body is like: he came past me.... No one here saying. When i went past him. Well that might just be cause there is no sirs around
Leg breaker Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Every body is like: he came past me.... No one here saying. When i went past him. Well that might just be cause there is no sirs around I flew past him the other day. He might of been going in the other direction but it still counts... littlenaushie95 and slowpoke 2
TALUS Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Even the Sir is soon not going to do that anymore. Hopefully they will let him loose this year

TALUS Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 I flew past him the other day. He might of been going in the other direction but it still counts...I couldnt be sure from 30000 ft but I think I also flew past him Gravity 1
littlenaushie95 Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Due to holiday mode I have no idea which day it is, or was, but we saw him riding with Northcliff cycles. Opposite directions so we saw them a few times. Each time the group was smaller and smaller.
