Pure Savage Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Looking forward to this! Have the sport science 70km time trial in morning so may be a little broken. Cant wait for the LBL viab again though. Wish PPA would sort themselves out and start supporting LBL and at least send out a mail about it to the members for the funride!

milky4130 Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Injured right now but will still be on the start line just to roll & check out the scene I have entered already so might as well.
Sportsworld.co.za Posted September 5, 2014 Author Posted September 5, 2014 Excellent news Milky - can't wait for the excitement to start! Here's a pic from last year's long downhill towards the 90 deg Left Turn towards the finish:
City Cycling Athletic Club Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 it actually isn't that steep.
'Dale Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 it actually isn't that steep. It depends how fast you go:-)
milky4130 Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 It depends how fast you go:-)No it doesnt, recce'd the route before the start & i could comfortably ride big blade at a slow pace, in the race you hardly feel it when in the bunch, in fact for the next 2 races i'm removing the small chainring to save weight
