SwissVan Posted March 19, 2016 Share Very tough day today even though it was short. 74km and not 69km as advertised with over 2000m ascent. Relentless steep climbs. Some of the best single track at Skyfall but some of the worst near the end. Rocky, bumpy and didn't help that we were grumpy by then. Its been tough and happy to have the finish line in sight. This is my first one and all I can say is that this event is massive, its global and its growing. The organisation and planning is mind boggling. Boschendal not the best venue, feels cramped. Can't wait to see Meerendal tomorrow. Congrats, take care and enjoy your last day tomorrowIt takes a lot to beat the feeling of the last few km's when u can see and hear the finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicky DQ Posted March 20, 2016 Share Yes it comes up every year and every year our locals get ridden into the ground. Our local heroes are only able to win local races against the weekend warriors or am I wrong? Doing well in GC is not as good as being regularly on the podium. Every time an opinion is raised about how swak our local pro's are all the hero worshippers come to their defence. Their defence will be that I'm just an armchair weekend warrior. True, agreed, I am. They still suck and I am truly sorry to say that, I would much rather want to rave about them making the visitors bleed on each and every stage. We all know this is not happening, it's the opposite.Erik Kleinhans is not doing too badly, considering he is/was a support rider. But then again he also spends most of his time competing with the overseas pros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaco-fiets Posted March 20, 2016 Share Spitz & youngster has been giving the spez ladies some "tande" the last few stages.
