Peewee1 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Wish I had seen this earlier. Motivation at its best. Won't manage your guys pace this year, starting at 735. Hoping to join the I-team next year. Good luck to you all. VincentKing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayleyearth Posted November 14, 2015 Share Hi iTeam, Unfortunately I must withdraw for tomorrow - I won't bore you with the details - Lets just say it's complicated. My wish is for everyone to have a safe ride and achieve their PB's. Good Luck to All. Rob At least "It's complicated" also starts with an "I"... Like the other reasons "Injury" and "Illness"... Good luck with what ever it is! Rob K and Lurch the stalker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaper Posted November 14, 2015 Share Remember, the point of the group is to help everyone succeed in setting a good time, not to do a sub 3.Whilst I know you were late in joining the I team band wagon... go back a few pages and you will see the aim of the team is to get a Sub 3 for many, else to hang on and conserve as much energy by having a coordinated group effort that you are perhaps able to achieve a pb if not a sub 3. So the point of the group is to get as many as possible a sub 3!! Patchelicious, BouncingBrain and Baaisikilist 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJDT Posted November 14, 2015 Share Good luck to the I-Team bus. I hope all of the members will ride that magical sub3. To the team leaders who will keep everything together good luck with your initiative to manage to the bus. To Tombeej sorry you can not make it but I think everybody will ride it for you as you started it all. tombeej 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wernerhp Posted November 14, 2015 Share Although I may have joined late, I read all the posts. I particularly liked this one by tombeej https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/155156-the-i-team-947/page-18?do=findComment&comment=2747503 . Of course the target is 3h00, but it's also to help everyone and have fun at it. Looking forward to tomorrow! See everyone at Circle D @ 6am! Have a good rest tonight!

Stiglitz86 Posted November 14, 2015 Share I am so pissed off, I was so hoping to set my PB this year but unfortunately I am not even riding as I have been battling with flu the past 3 weeks..... No training what so ever and the Doc suggested I don`t ride till i am 100% healthy.... Too all those riding tomorrow, Good luck and stay hydrated in this heat. I hope you all achieve those personnel goals you have set for this years 94.7.....

Wez-O Posted November 14, 2015 Share See you tomorrow guys. Out of interest though, what is the higher priority of this group:1. Getting say 30-40 riders a sub-32. Getting the majority of the group a good time ever if a sub-3 is sacrificed in the name of keep the group together? I'm just here to help and cool with whichever ????

tombeej Posted November 14, 2015 Share The I-Team got way bigger than we could have imagined. Way too big now to have any hope of keeping things together, let's be honest. I think common sense says this group Will spilt into smaller groups - it's unavoidable. But then when the smaller groups do form, those I-Teamers still stay together and work together for their PB. Still have the attitude of not leaving others behind. And the V8's in the team can still ride for their teammates who are going for a sub 3. Wait for the group on the climbs - that mustn't change - try and keep as many together as possible. Fast guys must share going back and pace teammates back to the bunch. But the splits will be unavoidable - we just need to try and delay them as long as possible. Next time we do this, we'll probably look at having a few road captains with whistles who will be designated A, B, C group captains. That way, there's still someone tasked with organising each off-split as they happen. bmw1za and BouncingBrain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
