Saw a skewer roll across the road just before the descent into Fish Hoek.

13.257 secs later a black stealth Vias with rider attached was sliding across my line

 

Bang!

Narrowly avoided his head and torso and got my front wheel entangled in the frame or something

 

Using my Sagan-esque skills, managed to avoid the road barriers, but lost several spokes in my Ultimates (and that wheel is built tough).????

 

Next train is a REAL train! ????????????

Metro rail back to town.

 

Happy to not have a fractured rib and concussion. ????

Damn, glad you are OK.

Eish Dale. Just glad you are ok! What a disappointment! Life just never predictable...

 

Missing out today because of a summer cold I picked up from my toddler. Was so psyched up for a Sub 3 this year!

 

Next year we'll get it!

I would have thought they would get their effing camera work up to date!? Having to watch the sprint from the helicopter camera? And get some proper m/cycle riders for heaven's sakes! They were always in the way on the downhills!

Congratulations Clint!

Good racing, Keagan rode a brave race and was hoping his break would last but caught in the final stretch.

 

Great win for Clint, outpacing Nolan.

Imagine riding for Telkom and having bury yourself up each hill and flat to drag an over weight sprinter to the front only for him to not be as fast has he thinks he is!

What impressed me most was how Nolan got into a position to actually win the race. It seems like he carries a little extra weight lately.

Eish sorry Dale. Glad you ok.

 

So who else is not riding today........

 

My mates have just started.

I had a nice quite ride along Contermans Kloof Road today, until the motorbike crowd decided to race up and down. I assume they thought all the cyclists would be doing the fun ride.

Jeez. Is it just me or was that fast?

Got a 3.03 from 1D

Was a awesome ride and 1D worked well together. I lost it going up Suikerbossie and just couldn't make it up after that

 

Awesome awesome awesome

Ha! Must have been right next to you then. Mad skills! The poor guy who fell and the other guy that went into him must be hurting. When I saw that skewer roll across the road it was like waiting for a hand grenade to go off.
