We could do that, but there isn't the commitment to stay together. And there were prizes for teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velouria Posted April 20, 2015 Share Dane, when do u get your fork? U must give us feedback on it.Still have to follow up on that. I'm super keen to see how it works out. Not expecting Jean Biermans kind of speeds, but should make for an interesting ride Top ride Velo - well done to the both of you!Thanks. Such a crazy crazy crazy event. And yet there is something magical about it (I say that now sitting in the comfort of my warm cosy home). _David_ and wannamtber 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velouria Posted April 21, 2015 Share Great one Velo ! And this after complaining about a dodgy tempo ride before hand. Not going to believe your stories any more.Thanks. It was a dodgy tempo ride! This is part of the email exchange I had with The Coach: "My tempo the next day seemed to start out ok (Strava said I rode some good solid segments), my legs felt tender, and after 2 hours I popped. I had to stop for a coke and chocolate just to get home. And then, while lying on the couch, watching TV, I had the worst cramps I have had in years. Every muscle in both legs ganged up on me. We've changed our objectives from a podium to just not dying. I suspect I might have to get my money's worth and spend a bit more time than usual at the water points ;)" Needless to say, she doesn't believe me either any more...
