rouxtjie Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Shame man!You always leave off that little bump going to the cell tower...It's gonna start thinking you don't love it. near the end, legs are usually almost finished by then...must remember to mute the GoPro this time... I can smell the beer from there, I don't see hills from 65km, I just smell beer. But seriously that cellphone tower thing isn't bad, just steep...its on concrete and its short...so a quick swim and out of the saddle up to the top and you are smiling
Gen Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) Hey.. what's the weather look like.. am I gonna get cold at the start line. Edited May 20, 2014 by Gen
DIPSLICK Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 are you coming to drink beer big boy ??IT TO DEPRESSING, being on the hub is bad enough
rouxtjie Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Hey.. what's the weather look like.. am I gonna get cold at the start line.Yes...always cold at the start. Dont go to the start line too early...it is self seeding. Just relax at your car with some coffee and tjoons. Start with arm warmers if you really have to...it warms up pretty quick that side of the magalies
Swift01 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Shame man!You always leave off that little bump going to the cell tower...It's gonna start thinking you don't love it. near the end, legs are usually almost finished by then...must remember to mute the GoPro this time... Your all forgetting the section where you turn off the sand road and hook left towards the "monster climb" I always says it's not the hill it's the section before it that kills you... prepare for rocks in the grass and lots of both.....
divernick Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Weather for Saturday looks good, light wind and min 7degC max 22degC, mostly sunny

The section just before the tower/concrete strip can get rather hot and dusty rouxtjie 1

typhoon Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Danke.. I am okay with rocky ascents as I always just try and spin up and conserve energy.. now sand aint my friend.. by that I also just spin and let the bike find it way through.. else I ride on the edge. I see they make a big deal of the descent after the monster. . And I see its rough terrain.. like what I am used to.. I dont have many manicured routes that I ride.. it's normally a case of finding a line through while we boendoe bash. At least that descent is wide so I wont hold anyone up or visa versa. Here's a vid I did of the downhill from the top of the Nek. Was done a year or so ago (Jan 2013), so the rocks have probably moved a little... Following Swift01 down, until he wasn't going fast enough Back when you still had your Merida 26 HT, me on a dual 26er https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AgmXrAPEqM
rouxtjie Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 holy cow, rouxtjie you managed to get coffee come out of my nose - sheezas that is too funny for words.....True story valeyellow....gordon is like martino die kulkunstenaar when it comes to hills.... Kul jou hier...kul jou daar en siedaar....swift01 is at the top of the hill....oh and he knows all the tricks in the books....wants to start a conversation about doping in the pro circles...or religion going up the steepest part. He also half wheel's like a baws
