Helpmytrap Posted November 17, 2013 Share There was a guy on a MTB with nobblies in D (D3777). He finished with the front bunch in 2:32, big respect, it couldn't have been easy. Well done dude!!My neighbour and training partner, what a machine!! Just to confirm, black S-Works dual suss? Remember to taper for the DC...:-PFor sure, only riding 1hr this week.

scotty Posted November 17, 2013 Share Saw a guy riding for cerebral palsy towing a kid with cerebral palsy, that kinda reminded me to HTFU, so although it was a bad day for me, with suffering and riding granny gear up every bump and also taking a tumble when a guy rode into my back wheel buckling it, imagining what that rider must have gone through kept me going. Limped/wobbled home in 3.38. MrDCycle, Andrew Steer, Harryn and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbradd Posted November 17, 2013 Share Started in P group, rode 3:19, improvement from 3:52 from RR. There was a guy riding a stump jumper fsr most of the way with me, started m group and probably finished a minute or so behind. Big up to him.

Mavro Posted November 17, 2013 Share What an awesome race. It was an extremely hot day. When I was riding back to my car I was flipping through my Garmin screen and the temperature was 39. It was great to race again, I certainly missed the competitiveness. My only disappointment is the goodie bag. The pamphlets which goes straight to the bin. What has Tac crackers got to do with cycling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanpre44 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Was my Second 94.7, will try and get up earlier next year to try and miss the parking rush (or whatever to call it). It was so hectic trying to get to my start batch that I forgot to check if my GPS was on, damn! Still improved my time with about 35 or 40 minutes (still waiting for the results), but did not make it under 4 hours. Now about that entry fee, I dont really mind paying it. Saw and heard of a couple of very bad falls today (was slowed down on Cumberland next to the golf course), Good thing to know my money paid for proper medical care (or at least first aid) for those cyclists. Saw a couple of guys on unicycles with very big wheels. Impressive! Bonus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the same things in the same chain, and also got stopped next to the golf course... Poor girl got some bad facial injuries, hope that's all it was! I was on the black marin bike with cosmics, in centurion kit! TK-Sp3cialiSt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDL Posted November 17, 2013 Share First road race. 4.12, although stopped to assist after a real bad accident, so probably lost 10 minutes there. Took it easy and enjoyed the whole thing. What a fantastic day. The crowds were fantastic and nobody wasn't ready to help at every opportunity. It's been many years since I had pretty ladies rubbing sun lotion on to my neck and face.

djvr Posted November 18, 2013 Share Rode for the bumble bees this year and made it a family affair. It was quite an experience but enjoyed the ride with my wife and son. Anyone know about the guy on Witkoppen next to the road. Lady was frantically giving cpr and he did not look good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
