Long Wheel Base Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 Its some BS award you get for getting all 12 teamies across the line together.WTF, what happened to racing and dropping your own teamies???I am no marine. Just saying.Don't think I will ever be up for that award.
Rapunzel Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 If I am not mistaken, you guys ditched a hairy guy who punctured just before the second climb Nope, we had one unhappy soul who temporarily pulled out after wp1 but thankfully changed his mind. We did however have a hairy team member whose energy store had a huge puncture towards the end - thankfully our shirts have strong pockets
Spinnekop Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 Well done guys. Spidey, you coming down the argus ?Slowbee.....yes, that is the planning to visit.If all things lines up.Entry sorted and accommodation sorted. Just the work that need to play nice. Looking forward to the fair Cape visit.
J∆kk∆ls Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 it's a bit like a handicap category - for those teams who allow their weaker teamies to hang onto their back pockets instead of ditching them on the side of the road I heard of some poor individual being grabbed by the ponytail and pulled up hill!
Thomo Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 Sorry guys, never done this one(did the maluti double 90 though). What is the Charles Milner award? It's an award given to those willing to sacrifice in the spirit of the event and ensure that all 12 entrants cross the line.Sometimes/most times more challenging than a time/race goal. LOL

Pure Savage Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 Gap between 12 at finish must be 10 min or lessIf we didn't have two mechanicals at the start would have even got that, if you all start together at WP2, difficult to ride a full ten minutes into teamies in 30km.
dev null Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 This event is on my horizon, but clearly still outside of my abilities. Damn, some of you do this in better time that I can do the Argus, with me doing my first sub-5 Argus only this year.
Formallyknownas Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 I heard of some poor individual being grabbed by the ponytail and pulled up hill!Lucky "Donny T" wasn't riding. He'd have grab said person elsewhere and it would have been awkward.
Velouria Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 Here is Team HotChillee's race report The Mixed Team raced to a well earned 2nd place.

Sure about that? 10 minutes in final stretch? Easy. I've seen guys lose minutes in final 800 metres.
