cyclingronaldo Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Humaity restored, what a cool way to do the ride. Supercool Mr Slowbee. I enjoyed that thoroughly
dirtypot Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Great report! We also took it slow, but never got any drinks or food from spectators - just lots of support. Came sixth last in my group Had a great time on the BMX
Slowbee Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 run out of likes ... but great one dirtypot saw you guys at the start ( i think, cant remember )
Slowbee Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 Hi Slowbee, you certainly did the race/ride in style. I was fourth last in my group 496/499 and in the gender category 23891/24403. My actual riding time was 1:57, but I had three pit stops and a few stops to assist stranded cyclists. I would have had more stops, but ran out of beer.and you still under two hours ... !
tinei n Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Hey Slowbee did you see me a black dude in the ride for rhino kit and rhino horn.was riding a black foldable 20inch bike. Had so much fun climbing those hills forgot to stop.did 2hr10min I think
Mr Legs Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 and you still under two hours ... !No no, riding or moving time was 1:57, my real official time was round about 3 hrs, I spent the other hour on the route drinking beer (yes I know it is a pleb beverage compared to champers!) and chatting to interesting people.
Mike Bike Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I also failed to reach my goal of over two hours. Didn't realise how hard it is to actually take it slow. 1h55 for me.Like your report, looks like you had lots of fun out there.[/quote Beat you, I dropped down about 20 groups to ride with a friend...2.01 had a great time
Mike Bike Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Great report Slowbee, it's lekker to see the blunt end of the race
Shebeen Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Oh the stats. Ride time 3h07, avg speed 14, overall position 31497/31966, gender 24114/24406 and do you know how hard it is to get last in your start group I was 536/548. I try so hard every year to be last in my group. Going to have to try harder next year! I reckon you need to get better seeding - less hackjobs upfront - also means you get first crack at the massage tent so the hawt blondes are never busy. I came third last in my group, but couldn't hold a candle to our lanterne rouge winner - he was over three times slower than the group winner, and an hour and a half behind the second last guy.
