NotSoBigBen Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Waaahaaa seriaasly I think we were the last 10 people for the 40km....but had huge fun. Haven't laughed that much on a bike in a very long time ...... except when I had that spectacular crash over Andy and the worst 'injury' was to my pinkie Clinton - theCOW 1
NotSoBigBen Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 I can't argue that! I was severely under-geared on my SS (32x18) so I was at a disadvantage in the beginning stages with the fast terrain and the first guy from C to catch me was at the 18km waterpoint. I was expecting sooner! Lucky I was with the 'Mark John Meyer' pink team so my 32*20 was fine Pants Boy 1

I pushed the eject button twice on my bike. Nearly saw my ringpiece twice....Lucky I was with the 'Mark John Meyer' pink team so my 32*20 was fineHahahha loved the faces of the guys around us when we rode those little sharp loose things...

rouxtjie Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) I would appreciate it if you would share the 70 profile if you've done it? Thanks in advance!Will send you a pm....there is a couple of things you have to watch out for at VGConcrete slabs...Don't burn all your matches there, its short but loose. The descent from the radio tower...take it easy, it will take a collerbone or two this year. "jou blixem"..when you reach the church its not over yet, you go back up for a last time...its not long but draining and if you running on fumes, could pop youTa thank jcza and typhoon....

Its not the concrete strips its the section after that that is the killer. Radio tower descent, careful. Pray at the church, that blixem section is a %&%^&^$&^$% ....... (blixem). Enjoy the river coming back. Pants Boy 1
