Race for Victory 15/9/2013

[SurferChild]

Double punture at the 80km mark with only one spare tube with me... That sucks! Thank you VERY MUCH to the CL rider who stopped and gave me his spare tube. I lost about 20-30mins on the side of the road... Eish!

Correction !!!

Was going well until 60km

Wind was bad.. What was a good time in the conditions?

[Blue Monster]

Well, I managed a 3:31 something.

Dying on the back of all groups. The wind killed me, especially the last 20kms or so.

finishing?was good who cares about the time! lol

[VicanZA]

When will the results be up?

[Joe Low]

Saw the front of elites crash (3 or 4 of them) 250mtrs from the line; that sucks after 150kms. Road narrowed for the speed bump with bollards either side. Everyone got up, so hopefully not the worst.

At 60km I though I was going to finish in under 4hours. Then the wind hit me. Then it beat me up and eventually almost killed me. I finished in just over 5 hours :- O

Well done! I have a feeling we passed each other a few times. Were you on a black bike? I was in CHOC kit on a blue Trek.

Was a interesting ride! Thank to all the CL riders for the ride! Was tough working up front! Wind killed. Happy with the 3:19. Next year faster!

[crasher]

That was a hard ride.

I rode myself broken into that wind

I was about 18 minutes slower than last year and twice as knackered at the end.

Cow kit on white and black Giant. I think I saw you, can't recall at what point. Race has already dissolved into a painful blur in my mind ;-)

Same here

 

The last 20 broke me

[Growler1]

Hey Surferchild, no problem at all. Glad I could help out! Besides I only did it because you were riding such an awesome bike????

 

That wind completely killed me today. Knocked my confidence a bit.

Just a note to the organisers :-

 

1. After offering shirts to pre-entries and asking the size, you did not have the decency to have a Large for me...i now have an XXL that i have NO use for...and for my Mrs we were told by a lady shouting across the tent that she could not have one for the 54km...after asking for a size on the entry...DISGUSTING

 

2. General starting was well organised.

 

3. Water points were well stocked and had nice ice cold drinks....WELL DONE....

 

4. I found the finish well organised, with drinks being readily available and medals tables being visible...

 

5. For next year, please turn of the wind machine....it nearly killed me
