Was an interesting day out. The concept of a paceline is really lost on some people.

 

Lots of fun in the end and a great training ride, 171bpm average heart rate.

I was on the road race route and cold see very far ahead of me (I had a f2.8 300mm and sometimes put a x2 converter on = making it a 600mm) and a lot of traffic but no motorist mis-behave or were ergro towards the roadies (from what I can see)

 

However.. The one poepol on a bicycle, coming 3km/h pass me (as It sat about 1/2 a meter away on the gravel) shout at me that I'm to close to the tar road.

 

Now maybe he did not know, when you ride 3km/h on a dunwiel, stick to the tar road,..... I did my first cape epic while he was still smelling dypers... so, I cant help I'm  looking stupid, .....but I do understand a bit of cycling

 

To the other, great to capture all the smiles (or was it the south easter from the front, just blowing the mouth wide open :-)

 

Thanks for the friendliness and kind remarks, you were troopers giving it all against a very strong head wind. Have to add, the wind kept on blowing stronger, so the back markers rode against a very stronger wind then the front guys.

Yarre what a k@k day out!! Got drop 30km into the race bonked badly but worked well with another dude for about 10km then started to make some in roads again on some bunches, hit the 70km and tank was empty so just cruised to the finish line!! The wind was so bad

The Southerly takes no prisoners on the open roads.

don't know if you would have had many smiley faces on the 65 km (71km) mtb race - it was a suffer fest with 2030m climbing. Wind blew us all over the place and trying to stay on the singletrack on parts of the contermans descent was a challenge.

I'm broken

ps-  what was the deal with the bog of cow poo the route went through?

Except for the doctor lady going to her boyfriend or something that rode into guy in front of mee shouting "let me tell you something, im a doctor". Luckily no one hurt.. Accept maybe her ears as i was not very polite..

 

We were doing 60km/h down hill and she was laying on her horn to pass on solid line... Roomys kind.
