Recommended Posts

I'm not to concerned about this. What keeps me awake at night is that turn into kyalami. we will be coming down that hill with speeds at about 70km plus. :eek:

 

I guess one of the breaks will happen just after the turn into Kyalami then...while the guys at the back are still applying breaks or crashing into others. This scares me.  :mellow:

Haven't seen whether asked or discussed: I don't see any info on 947 site, must I personally collect my no or can a friend collect for me if I email/whattsapp him the barcoded collection document?

Just email your friend your race/number collection details that you downloaded and they can collect for you

Understatement of the decade…  :eek:

Meh, nothing unheard of at Triathlon events in SA. I fell at the turnaround point at one of the Germiston Trinity event, slowest fall ever, not even a scratch on my hand.

 

The difference is probably that at a triathlon you'll never have the same size bunches as at the 947, best to go ahead or stay back at this point. So its not the turn itself, but the number of people present at the turn that will be the issue.

 

WRT Kyalami entrance, we should probably make sure our brakes are fully functional and start the slowdown very early in the approach, even if you lose contact with your group. Anticipate allot of warning signs from the organisers in the leadup to these points in the route.

This Kyalami thing is going to be a gigantic fokop!

 

If I was one these cyclist hating Cradle residents, I would go park my bakkie there with a case of Castle Lagers, and watch the mayhem ensue from my piss saturated Bakuzzi whilst throwing tjop bones at the fallen riders.

:devil:  Evil !!! :oops:

Sounds like n lekker kuier, would probably have joined them if I couldn't partake in the race.

 

Definitely going to be one of the points with the most action come raceday.

Have just found out I need to be in JHB over the weekend of 94.7

Seeing as I going to be there I might as well ride this race, if possible.

 

Anybody know where I can get an entry from at this late stage?
