Sharkie 2 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Cloudy, with a chance of... wait, we're not rolling over the dirt road anymore. Here's tomorrow's wind forecast (first a spot in Henley and then an official weather station at the Vaal dam). Looking like favourable conditions *holding thumbs*Screen Shot 2015-09-12 at 9.38.38 AM.pngScreen Shot 2015-09-12 at 9.38.10 AM.pngGood news then!!!

ClydeB1 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Well apart from the headwind into the final straight for the last 4 km's the wind played nice. Managed a sub 3 (2:59 ) from DL group. Happy with that.... Edit: Last time I managed a sub 3 for 100km+ was back in 2003 ???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted September 13, 2015 Share VA got DQ'd at about 60km. There was a break of 6 up the road. We sat up for the last 45km and ended on 2hr 31min but I guess it won't count. Not sure if we still get the seeding or what will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCreamMan Posted September 13, 2015 Share Wind was a factor but all round well organised cept the seeding. Ppl were all over the place but all good. Starting from CL we started leisurely and within 10kays had overtaken a number of ppl from BL who had left 5 minutes prior. That never happens so quickly. Nice to see u again bmwza , u came past me with around 40 to go ... Tried to hang on ...eish Ended on just over 3 hours and 5 minutes. Much better without the dirt road section. Saw no accidents either so there's an up. Will be back next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baaisikilist Posted September 13, 2015 Share Crossing the road's centre line...Do we all get the DQ (ie everyone behind that break of 6) or just that chasing bunch...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatek Posted September 13, 2015 Share Got dropped by VA around 32km but got a nice little group going around 40km with a tandem. Stick with the group until the finish. Managed a 2.43. Wondered if I will get DQ as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatek Posted September 13, 2015 Share I think we crossed the line together. Was on the white propel. Agreed. Need some serious training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baaisikilist Posted September 13, 2015 Share I honestly don't think they had anything left to give. It was only after aerials that a few stopped pulling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
