Smurfy Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Nah, Did almost 15hr hrs 2 weeks ago with only one light dusting and all good.... well almost all good. Too much in the beginning and it leaks out everywhere. not a pleasant sight.At 400km trip I would also pack it on. You and Pansie ride to fast to look k.k with cream all over the legs.
Bikes Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 To all the hubbers that will be participating in the DC, I wish you all of the best. May you have a safe and memorable ride.

Wannabe Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 OK guys and girls, busy packing up in the office, will be leaving to Swellendam shortly. Safe travel there and back (work in some time for the roadworks / Stop 'n Go's) and have a brilliant ride tomorrow. Looking forward to all the race reports on Monday.
Cippo Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Good luck to all the guys and gals especially Team WINplas. WOOP!WOOP!
Pure Savage Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 5:44 after a lot of suffering!!! Finished with 6. Goal done.
Patchelicious Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 We decided last night to make sure we get all 12 over the line together regardless of time, so we pull and pushed our way to a 6h18 and got all 12 guys home in same group! Lekker gees!
'Dale Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Good luck to all the guys and gals especially Team WINplas. WOOP!WOOP!Thanks, Cippo' Lots of twists and turns with punctures, broken spokes, cramps, some riders entering the race with vulnerable knees, hips and backs from recent niggles and injuries.Having inexperienced riders in the mix also added complexity and challenge - 5 debutants. Team finisher's Milner medal accomplished in the finishing time we sought! Mission accomplished. It's a special achievement and a first for me. What an adventure!It's a very special event for the amateur cyclist.
milky4130 Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 5:58 Team VC, goal achieved, target was Sub6.
Winstonian1984 Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Was my first DC. Social team and all finished ....My heart was in my throat on the way from montagu to ashton, when the likes of bluff meat supply, hot chillee etc came blitzing past on the right hand side due to alot of riders being on that stretch.... Anyone know what happened with the "taxi" at the ashton stop?
