Brogue Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 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

An3 Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 crazy - especially with the stuff falling off the truck
Stretch Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 I had a friend who did this. Had being the operative word.. And I am being quite serious. Truck had to stop suddenly and he rode straight into the back

Condolences. 82 is fast 82 behind a truck is stoopid, feeenish en klaar.
fabes Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 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?
Wuzzie Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 cant watch, so stupid too many things that can go wrong
avatar Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Impressive! especially on a TT bike. wish there were more of those trucks on our roads
Guest EdEdEd Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) 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 Posted April 10, 2014 That all cool, but you are going to upset a few Strava users if you stole a KOM on that ride!
Stretch Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Sorry to hear that bud, unnecessary tragedy. Foreseeable and avoidable. Condolences.  absolutely - it was way back when were in school - std 9. the guy had huge future prospects in road cycling
BrandonF_ Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Whats the point? You basically dont get to cycle for 13km...
Stretch Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 now make sure you watch the dh on Saturday and see guys doing that speed going down a rutted gully before hitting 2 HUGE tabletops BrandonF_ 1
udxcob Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 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
