CASSIE1975 Posted September 8, 2017 Share The Germiston Wheelers Red Train will do their annual stint in AL. We will be about 6-7 strong. How strong we will be in the race is to be seen!! Winter was looong! See you there! I'll be the guy in the back trying to just hang on - not wheelsucking - there is a difference Starting in C batch...the suffering would be the same...as also would the "just hang on" bit, just in a different group LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s14phoenix Posted September 8, 2017 Share Starting in C batch...the suffering would be the same...as also would the "just hang on" bit, just in a different group LOL I believe the quote says: The suffering never stops or gets better - you just go faster The real question is whether a select few will brave an attack attempt a break off the front of AL...

Zatek Posted September 8, 2017 Share I have an entry if some one wants to take it over? Still recovering from pneumonia and sitting this one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on the wind...strong wind, maybe not...fair wind...you might be in for a chase, or be part of the break yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted September 8, 2017 Share Been off the whole week recovering from cold so dropping back to shorter distance, that way i'll be guaranteed there will still be boerrie rolls and beer left when I get back.

Tell me about it... I had a very light cold end of last week still not 100% - maybe 90% so hope that's enough to just hang on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurgens Smit Posted September 8, 2017 Share For the licenced riders, I entered today and I have been off the bike for close to 2 weeks due to sickness. So I only wanted to ride the 110 not the 150. Now the guy says I have to ride with the elite as that is where I am licensed and am never allowed to ride open seeded. Is this true as per CSA rules?

L46 Posted September 8, 2017 Share It depends on the wind...strong wind, maybe not...fair wind...you might be in for a chase, or be part of the break yes. I beg to differ. Strong winds mean more gutters and less place to hide in the bunch, hence the bunch splitting into pieces which suits riders going off the front. Fair to no wind makes it very difficult to get away on a flat race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your point...myself not an expert and only ride in higher groups...LOL...for me it's just to hang on and complete the race...breakaways are not even in my armory, so not an expert in gutters and breaks, etc. Enjoy the race everybody...be safe...
