jcza Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Missing it this year due to JUMA. Can be very lonely if you get dropped early in the race.
Cheese Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Everything quiet around the race. Will be there , Not fit this year so will see if we can make our experience count
Erroli8a8 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 This is going to be my first road race in 15 years. hope that I don't get dropped to early.
Baaisikilist Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 With JUMA being cancelled, anyone know if they're accepting line entries tomorrow morning...?
Brickleberry Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 I wanted to do late entry but don't hink you will be seeded.
TALUS Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 It was cold! As always hard. No issues that I am aware of. I learnt a little bit more about life. It is a long story but mainly involves a birthday party last night and 3 big cups of coffee this morning. As was mentioned it was also cold. I safely negotiated the main issues and was comfortable in the front AL bunch at 70km when I really needed to go. The coffee came back to haunt me. I have heard that some guys and possibly some ladies can wee and ride. I tried but to no avail. I thought I could make it back to the bunch but they had a cross tail wind and I was left dangling of the back (intended) for 45km. I was even held up on the raceway by a herd of sheep! So besides the obvious of not drinking the coffee etc.- what is the thing to do? Stop on an uphill, downhill? Try to ride ahead? What?

Alternatively, ride to the very end of that loooong main straight, make sure there's no else close by. Unclip one foot, pretend you're stretching and let loose.

I was only stopped for 35sec, but lost 6min on the group I was cruising along with easily. If there is wind, and you need to stop, don't.
