Hennie VR Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 what was the winning time for the race? Tyler Dey in a time of 2h11min
AryM Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Thanks to amm my mates in the Sunward Slipstreamers Orange you guys pulled the DL group from start to finish.. Absolutely agreeMy first race in a decent bunch, and I have to say..What an awesome experience riding with you guys...Those Orange Kits were pacing like Champs... Thanks guys
AngryAustrian Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Anybody in the AL group know what that guy was who broke away in the last 6 km, he went like a bullet, there was still about 60 peeps in our group and no one bothered to chase.. That was a respectable attack. Seems like most of the groups that got away was helped by the accidents what bike and kit was he in?

Prozac Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 VA . . . ended alone with a time of 2:35 . . . very happy . . . The vehicle on the highway ! I almost rolled my vehicle dodging it . . .
Peter Parker Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Man I was upset about that and we had such a nice little group going. How strong was that guy with the one leg? I was very impress with him. Did that idiot with the black and blue giant carbon eventually help in the front as he was hiding all the way. Haha I just thought of this it was my second time riding in your group (94 and fast one) and both times I just couldn't finish with you, maybe third time lucky. I don't think he did anything. He nearly fell near the finish (touch of wheels).Must agree about that guy with one leg. respect.
RastaMan Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 what bike and kit was he in? I can remember a light blue kit and he had deep section wheels maybe 80's the rest is a blur....
Barend de Arend Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 How strong was that guy with the one leg? I was very impress with him. Two thumbs up. One leg, and did his share. Did that idiot with the black and blue giant carbon eventually help in the front as he was hiding all the way. Nope. He did help keeping ppl awake, though...
FrancoisO Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 The Europecar u16 did make a break at one stage and a CycleLab u16 did try and chase them down later on. The pace did pick up and the Europecar boys were chased down just before the finish but I must add that there were quite a few AL,VA & VB riders that did some of the chasing. I recon the U16 should be left to ride their own race as they are in their own category and on different gearing as well. But boy, some of them sure are strong. Pity about the fall at the finish. The 0/16 race was hard. It was 3 or 5 Europe Car 0/16's against a Cycle World Bloemfontein 0/16, and the Bloem guy got the win.
lone one Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 BL went out a hell of a rate - my legs need warming up damit.Had a throughly enjoyable time in second group of BL quite a few free riders though!! People need to learn to share the load up front, especially in conditions like that.Felt strong entire route, last 50km were the most enjoyable nice working bunch and free riders had mostly fallen off the back - ended on 2.50 (no wonder i felt strong with that time) - good morning out though.

shadowchaser-d Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I was in VB, our group split badly after one of the guys crashed around a corner - does any one know who that was and if he's ok, as he was gripping his shoulder and I think it might have been his collarbone. Did a 2:44 - had a puncher and did the last 40km like Celine Dion - all by my self... Condolence to the family that was in that accident on the highway. That was my team mate that went down. The guy in front of him crossed his line and took his front wheel out. He suffered a clean break of his collarbone, had a plate and pins put in yesterday.
WR 1.0 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 You reckon....told NSBB after 10km...."bugger this, I am out", just then the pace went down a bit and all was good.I agree, pace was hectic, I take a while to warm up. I bailed afte rabout 8km and got into the second group.. some guy sat 3rd in the line and everytime when it was his turn at the front he just sat up and waited for the 4th guy to take over.....
Li Mu Bai Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 AL. It was the green Di-data kit chap that broke away if I can recall, and the buch just about caught him at the finish.What i would like to know is when the group of 6 guys managed to break away? They took 4mins on the main bunch. was it at the accident when several guys fell? there was a huge accelleration just thereafter. Or was it later?Good days riding, got 2:34 and felt strong.

A guy in Club 100 kit on a yellow bike, myself, a stong girl and another guy were mostly on our own up to about 40km. The group got new legs when the C group (possibly 3rd and 4th) joined the group.Great ride none the less. Just suffering with sore legs. Edit: Spelling
