Also don't know why I got seeded in FL, will have to hook up with Nibali!

 

Remember, I hook up to cars, so might be difficult ;)  Haha, but if we get a decent group effort going I'm sure we'll manage a good time. Just need a few guys to help with the workload.

 

Ja this Hekpoort gonna be interesting. I don't know it. But hopefully easier to keep my cadence up high than what that final Jock climb proved to be. Hehe.

 

Definitely easier than that final climb of the Jock, so you'll be able to manage a higher cadence going up Hekpoort. Just remember it flattens out  for a bit and then has a silly kick, I assume the guys will be going hard on the flatter section to splinter the group.

Aaaaaand dont forget that "little bump" about 5km after Hekpoort, all hell can break loose there. You dont want to be isolated after that, its fast and usually into the wind from there.

I'm amazed at all this talk about wind. Thought Joburg never got any wind?

It's not the SE, but it can spoil a pleasant morning on the bike.

The wind was blowing at 6:15am this morning while I was making my way home after a ride this morning. I think it (the wind) is going to have a baby, it is 2 months late for sure! Been bad.

May the wind bring us some rain....

I think I see now what you mean, Wilro was like that last year. Very exposed roads on the flats.

Hi I'm looking for a 60km entry for satellite classic this weekend, can anyone help? Thanks Keri

I stand to be corrected on this but I believe you can enter tomorrow at the registration desk which is at cycle lab fourways...confirm first but I seem to recall one can

Yes you can.

 

I still can't get around the idea of paying R600 for a tandem entry  :cursing:
