Man with no name Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Now I know where the fun was!! We only suffered in that 2nd bunch - Chrissie still owes me and levi some tom for pacing her back to win the race Good fun race - will be back!
Lulu Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Thanx to everyone for a great day out. Thanx to the guys and gals pedaling along and the guys and gals in the Vito for all the support (and cold water ) next time i must just remember to put sunscreen on my legs as well, they are a shade or three redder than normal after saturday
Evan Andreou Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 I'm confused now: It was only me' date=' Firefly, Sonic, LizzyB and Gary (the driver) in the Vito... Who's Habanero?[/quote'] Um Chilli, Habanero is a type of Chilli Pepper The heat of a chilli is measured on the Scoville ranking. A Jalapeno scores 50000 points, a Habanero weighs in at 500000 points. One seriously hot number wolverine2008-04-01 06:13:01
Evan Andreou Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 the start was a disaster' date=' the waterpoints were nothing to write home about, the route was by no means flat and i almost got taken out by a 1st class idiot in a audi! ? BUT...... ? the hubber's company and the support in the form of Chilli Pepper, Firefly, Sonic and Gary the driver/photographer, were excellent!!! they were smiling when handed clothing, at the right time ready with ice cold water and cola and when need the most?a word of encouragement. thanks guys - you rock!!! ? and to the rest of the guys riding: thank you for the chats here and there the odd joke or two and?making it a most enjoyable 6 and a half hours in the saddle. special thanks to pocketbikes for making your vito available to all of us. and thank you to ox wagen?who pulled me the last 20 km when?the legs started really getting heavy and wanted to quit on me. ? wolfie, at one?stage i kept going, because you kept going. ? hubbers, i'm proud?to be counted as one of you! ? amateur - next the panorama!!?can't waint. ?[/quote'] Zoo, I kept going because my mom dropped me as a baby
Evan Andreou Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Truth is I kept remembering a quote from a guy who rode a bike a bit. 'Losing is temporary, quitting lasts forever'
E1A104 Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Morning Y'all. PB, thanks for the use of the Vito (hope your knee is feeling better), it was much appreciated and a huge thumbs up to the driver (Cannot remember his name, but please do thank him on my behalf) To the rest of the "Autobus", thanks for a great ride and for sharing a long day in the saddle - Panorama here we come!!!
Zoo Cookie Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 wolfie, i've got a little scar on my lower back from falling of the bed when i was little - think i bumped my head that day, as well.
scotty Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Thanks PB for the use of the bus and the encouragement from the occupants. Really enjoyed the day riding with other hubbers . Not so nice is that CC have me down as DNF
FlyingCheetah Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Thanks to all the Hubbers for a nice ride. I enjoyed it very much. At 1 stage I thought my legs aren't going to make the finish, but quitting wasn't for me. Thx to PB for the bus, CP, FF,Sonic and Gary in the bus. Your support kept me going to the end.Nice chatting to some of the Guys and Gals, Daemon, Lulu, Ox, Wolv, LizzyB, Kona, Scotty (hell, you're tall for your height ), Zaskar, Poketbikes, Delgado etc. Please excuse me if I left out anyone I chatted with on the road. My aim is to do a sub 3 94.7 this year.... Thx again for everything. Being a Hubber is a lot of fun and there's plenty of support.
Ox_Wagon Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Thanks hubbers it was really nice and looooooong day. Thanks especially to the Vito crowd. I felt like a pro cyclists although nobody wanted to lend me a fresh set of legs or performance enhancing drugs. <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I like the route but I must say the section between Bapsfontein and Delmas was scary and the pic of us cresting the hill with the truck in the back ground really sums it up nicely. I don?t know what one can do to make the race a bit safer. Ox_Wagon2008-03-31 00:27:56
FlyingCheetah Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Profile' date=' ascent 1131m [/quote'] Scotty, it felt more like this:

Pocketbikes Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Now, this is my story and I'm sticking to it... Pulled one of these moves... And about 8 seconds later... Needless to say, I now need a new rear tyre
Delgado Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Never let the facts get in the way of a good story!!!
