Patchelicious Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 So is it safe to assume that D will be in the region of 3:10? I was in C last week at the Berg and bush and did a 3:10 Add 3-4 mins to you Berge n Dale (if thats what you meant) and you have your target time.
rouxtjie Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Okay see you guys in CL!!!! Rouxtjie bring jy lekker tunes saam?Dude the way I am feeling now, I might have to call it...cough cough sneeeeeze...wheeeze. My little one came home with a bug on monday....gave it to daddy for valentine's day it seems. FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mister B Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Ok Guys now you got me twitchy, Ive always done the short one so what time can I expect in GL ?
Hennie VR Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Same here...no little praaaaps around bends or guttering. On a sidenote, woke up with a moer sore throat, giving it horns with the andolex. Hope it doesnt progress further today. There will always be sprints out of corners if you sit too far back in the bunch because you have to brake more than the guys in the front that have less traffic and can carry more speed into the corners. So don't sit too far back. Same goes for climbs. You are going to need to sprint over the top to catch the bunch already half way down the hill and you won't have the energy to do that so try and move forward on the climbs.
Cellar Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 so try and move forward on the climbs. I try and sprint at the bottom of climbs, so by the time I'm at the top, I'm still around mid-pack... Hennie VR 1

Hennie VR Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Certainly not trying to sound materialistic but I do feel to give credit to the organizers. I just want to complement the organizers on a very nice goodie bag supplied. Even pins in the envelope. If this is how it starts, I have high hopes for the race itself Guys that did the Berge and Dale would know what I am talking about when I say that their organisers can certainly learn a few things here. Know it is difficult and a cut-through business but the little things does make a difference. I agree , and that reminds me that I forgot to bring the cookies I got to work to make tea time more exciting

Know it is difficult and a cut-through business but the little things does make a difference. I did close to 10 road races last year.This is one of the reasons why I don't bother with championchip races, you usually just get a piece of paper. R4S is in my mind the best oprganised race behind the 94.7. But big up to the fast one this year, organizationw as also good

Ti do that cos I struggle on climbs(100kgs excl the bike), but guys get upset..they think i'm attacking ...(hands over eyes)... and then they dont let me back into the bunch. So end up on the tail at the next climb, then inevevitably...fall off at the next climb
