Brogue Posted April 10, 2014 Share This time it went well for you, thankfully. Next time it may not. Hopefully you will do a lot of growing up between now and then. Huge difference between calculated risks and foolhardiness. quintonb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge difference between calculated risks and foolhardiness.How's that old saying go "Risk vs Reward"...For me personally risk is too high, but that's just me.

Condolences. 82 is fast 82 behind a truck is stoopid, feeenish en klaar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabes Posted April 10, 2014 Share I've done it once. On a bit of road I knew extremely well... a trucker came by slowly and shouted at me to follow him... I accepted the challenge...About 10km at around 70km/hIt was fun, but still stupid of meand probably going uphill as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avatar Posted April 10, 2014 Share Impressive! especially on a TT bike. wish there were more of those trucks on our roads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EdEdEd Posted April 10, 2014 Share and probably going uphill as well?Nope, roads in upington was flat as hell. This segment had a very slight downhill gradient as well... on the same stretch i have also averaged about just under 50km/h on another occasion. That time together with a couple on a tandem...

Bennie Dikwiel Posted April 10, 2014 Share That all cool, but you are going to upset a few Strava users if you stole a KOM on that ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

udxcob Posted April 10, 2014 Share I had a good friend who ended up under those back wheels and got dragged for a while, the driver never even knew he had driven over him, needless to say I stay away from trucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
