Frosty Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks Nick - assume you got this from Cycling Direct based on the camera angle at the finish? Edit: removed duplicate video and quote
Frosty Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 Some pics (courtesy of Rika, CycleNation)... Pictured below (half of my start team)http://cyclenation.co.za/images/stories/2015/gallery/carnival/IMG_2511.JPG The chaos that could've ended a whole lot worsehttp://cyclenation.co.za/images/stories/2015/gallery/carnival/IMG_2501.JPG This ******** id10T that pushed his way through the EMPD officials, marshals and traffic cones (from Carnival City), and decided he wanted to drive through the start. I knew VA were close, but not at the 1Km to go - I missed the whatsapp message from the lead car because I had to attend to this top.http://cyclenation.co.za/images/stories/2015/gallery/carnival/IMG_2498.JPG Edit: tapatalk and uploads... don't work so well

Frosty Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 Nice to meet Wyatt and Carpet.The announcer didn't quite know what theHubSA was, and there were a few hands up when it was mentioned in VA.
bmw1za Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Guys regarding A bunch finish, looking for some insight please: 3 guys broke away before the last left... and they were behind the lead vehicle... yet results show 2 phanton guys got ahead(According to championchip) ... Anyone see or know how this happened?

Frosty Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 Last official rider crossing the line, with the convoy of Road Rangers and Helivac medics.What would we do without these guys at all our cycle events - goosebumps watching this
Mats Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Hope you got your time you were looking for, to get a good 947 seeding.Had a very good ride thanks.
Kallie. Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Guys regarding A bunch finish, looking for some insight please: 3 guys broke away before the last left... and they were behind the lead vehicle... yet results show 2 phanton guys got ahead(According to championchip) ... Anyone see or know how this happened?The first two guys (Marc and Marthinus) showing on the results were the winners of AL. There was a one man break away on the stretch passing the township. Then 3 guys broke away just after we turned right onto the R23 back towards carnival. They managed to catch the guy who got away earlier and then the first and second place guys got away and stayed away until the end. Good race in AL today, the wind was challenging tho. Apparently there was a crash in AL, I didn't see it, hope nobody was seriously injured. Great job to Gerald and his team. This is a great event. Will definitely be back next year.
BarHugger Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Had a very good ride thanks.So you didn't order a sub with three or more fillings and some roasties........well done with the performance.
Frosty Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 This was a team ( club ) effort, so if you see or know Germiston Wheelers members please let them know. As mentioned before, I'm just a link in the chain that turns the wheels.
