mecheng89 Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Does anyone know why the preliminary times aren't up on the RaceTec website yet??
Frosty Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 That's some rotten luck Gerald.Not as unlucky as one guy in VB, he punctured a few hundred metres after the start.
Blue Monster Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Or the poor guys in AL that went down hard before 5kms
AryM Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Plenty Crashes....hectic Yip, went into the gravel & fell over avoiding that crash...
Blue Monster Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Plenty Crashes....hectic Yip, went into the gravel & fell over avoiding that crash...I also nearly went down, but managed to miss the flying bikes and riders.My lucky day.
Frosty Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Or the poor guys in AL that went down hard before 5kmsTruePlenty Crashes....hectic Yip, went into the gravel & fell over avoiding that crash...Think it was an Esmero rider than went OTB and off the road in VB when passing a slower rider from the front groups. Hope he's okay, as well as the other crashees
Zatek Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 It was a dangerous ride in AL with 2 serious crashes. Hope everybody is ok.
Rotiringer Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Agreed AL a bit twitchy. Any info on results?
Alfa147GTA Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 I also went farming during that first crash in AL, but managed to stay up. Big thanks to the guys that tried there best in the second part of the AL group. Albeit just a few that pulled many. I really enjoyed it.
Patchelicious Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 VA was a bunch finish, chuffed to have made it in with final bunch in my first VA ride, think we came in 2h22.
bmw1za Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 TrueThink it was an Esmero rider than went OTB and off the road in VB when passing a slower rider from the front groups. Hope he's okay, as well as the other crashees It was an Esmero Rider, He is okay after Xrays, head injury and roasties(and the bike too) .
bmw1za Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 I went down 10kms later @#$%^ ... At least i'm here to tell the tale Sti gave grief so I ended up riding a fixie for 15kms (so much for 22 gears,lol).. eventually I just stopped and stripped it to get it working again. Some A guys really need to be more vigilant and hold lines, this zigging and zagging just because you can is so dangerous(Twits). I had fun in spite of the drama and chatted to some cool okes ... howsit Johan.. Glad you said Hi Kudos for surviving out there Soldiers !
Frosty Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 While waiting on the side of the road for the sweep vehicle, I had to stand most of the time because when I was sitting a lot of people asked if I was okay, thinking I may have crashed. It's amazing the number of people that actually DO care for our fellow cyclists on the road - at least the ones not chasing a category win anyway.
Rotiringer Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 What's the etiquette in races in general regarding riders zigzagging and jumping on the brakes constantly. Do you comment and tell them to hold their lines or try and avoid them and just let them be? There was a chap on a black pinnarelo in red and black shorts in AL that was all over the place the whole race. Just didn't look where he was going and people around him were constantly forced to swerve or brake sharply. As. Far as I could see nobody seemed to give him a word. I'm pretty new to the road thing so thought better not to say anything
