TALUS Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 OK. Entered and accomodation paid. Now I really need to hear that there will be other riders in the open seeded group. I came in just under the halfway mark in the Panorama Tour. Anyone?

TALUS Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Ready to start Stage 1. Flippen cold. I have a snot nose - so no gunning anything for me. At registration it was only me (and the admin ladies that wieghed more than 70kg) - clearly the faster guys out here.
TALUS Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Man I suffered today. So glad I am not a pro that turned home with 150km and a huge climb in my legs. The wind was pumping into me with a 8km climb straight ahead at the turn home. We had to get up very early to be packed and transported. Waited in the cold until 9:30! I doubt that more than half of the Open bunch will be back tmrw- it was HARD! I timetrialled for more than 100k. Right now the headcold is winning.
Sharkie 2 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Wind was pumping in PTA can only imagine how you suffered, rest up and have a beer almost time for the rugby and tomorrow is a new day TALUS 1
andydude Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Riding 30+. Mapped the ride beforehand and it looked straight then at 80km down 500m and then kill it to the finish. How wrong could I be! Was tough and that last bit back against the wind was a killer. TALUS 1
TALUS Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 I saw the guy in the head to toe Spez gear was 30+ too. Not you?
andydude Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 I saw the guy in the head to toe Spez gear was 30+ too. Not you?No. I ride in the black and yellow kit of Complete Cyclist kit. On my mostly black Giant. You?
TALUS Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 White and black Assos gear. Black and yellow Scott Di2 (with a yellow number). 3:09 today on my own - I feel content.
NotSoBigBen Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Talus I really hope you are ok to ride today but please be careful and rather be safe than sorry! TALUS and Zatek 2
BarHugger Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Talus.....hope you are taking it easy and following some C-S. Maybe just go and chillax with the family today. TALUS 1
TALUS Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Thx for Talus I really hope you are ok to ride today but please be careful and rather be safe than sorry!Talus.....hope you are taking it easy and following some C-S. Maybe just go and chillax with the family today.Thx for caring guys. I did take it easy - got 20 min put into me by the guys I beat yesterday. Going to take it easy again tmrw. Everytime I think it is hard with a blocked nose and the wind pumping, I see the pictures of the guys in the Giro in the snow. Then I HTFU a bit.
TALUS Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Tmrw will be a real slog. I came down a hill at 90km/h today - tmrw we go up there. Luckily we get to come down again...
andydude Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 White and black Assos gear. Black and yellow Scott Di2 (with a yellow number). 3:09 today on my own - I feel content.Nice! Wind was interesting. And it's howling now. Tomorrow we race!
TALUS Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 I met andydude. He is one of a scarce species: A lesser spotted friendly racing snake. You go dude! I actually felt better today. I would have loved a TUE for Prednisone though... Midwinter training camp done.
