Paulst12 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Yip and still managed 6th. You should try hanging on to that wheel in a race. And the top3 still put almost 1 minute into him, so imagine what their output must have been.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AryM Posted September 13, 2016 Share Started in AL..24km turn to Walkerville Hill was pandemonium...Group broke into smitherines.....Managed to catch the back of the breakaway, but as soon as I latched, they surged on, toiled hard with a few guys (BestMed, Germiston Wheelers, Activize) to bridge & we got oh so close. Saw them just ahead for the next 50km but just couldn't bridge. Jeez, they were flying.Pushed myself over the limit & popped at 70kms cresting that drag to the left turn that felt like a HILL.Caught an elite lady from Clover who joined our group just before.That was it for me, Wind & Cramps till the end. Felt like the longest 30kms ever on a bike. Everytime I looked at my Garmin, I as cruising at 17-20km/h. Couldn't get the pace up.Lucky, a few more guys passed & I latched as best possible.Finished in 3:09.That was a #Sufferfest of note! Will be back to right this wrong. I was in the Blue/ Black/ White ESMERO kit with Blue/ Black Propel.Oh yes, deep sections were just wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetplant Posted September 13, 2016 Share I got 70.2km/hMust have bee the 2 sec tail wind during the race.73.1km/h, achieved that after being dropped by the main BL bunch and working with one of the guys to try to latch back on. Tailwind + 96kg was not enough to catch them though. Got picked up by the second BL group a little later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Activize rider, the Germiston Wheelers chap with the large beard. There was one guy with ESMERO kit with us for a while.I hid in the group as much as possible until my second wind with about 20km to go, where I took a few pulls at the front.By this time there was not much of a group left.I was on the Black Sworks with light blue top & socks(need to match)Finished 3:01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s14phoenix Posted September 13, 2016 Share 71km/h on std 53/39. Didn't wanna push for a higher top speed as I was alone at the time - not knowing if I will catch another group or be caught by a group to latch onto I saved a bit of energy everywhere I could Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
