gogo@ Posted September 26, 2017 Share My only regret is that it was over so quickly. Totally agree! Saw the 65km sign and thought oh no (which for me is quite funny actually).Really hope to make it back for #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Stewart Posted September 27, 2017 Share What a blast!!Some random shots.FullSizeRender_1.jpgFullSizeRender_2.jpgFullSizeRender_3.jpgFullSizeRender_4.jpgFullSizeRender_5.jpgIMG_4451.JPGIMG_4455.JPG I was "racing" those two Karoo fairies to the finish line all the way. The one in the Profmed jersey pipped me as we were passing the fire devastated part of town coming out of Simola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannygirl Posted September 27, 2017 Share Still no news on the ladies that crashed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Stewart Posted September 27, 2017 Share Came accross two accident scenes, one near the bottom of the long downhill, and one on the downhill just after, both involving ladies. They both looked quite serious - does anybody know whether these ladies are ok? I saw the lady on the descent to Dieprivier. She looked in a bad way and was being loaded in the ambulance. At the very bottom, about 400m further down, at the bridge, another lady was down, also being attended to by medics. I also know of a guy who had a front wheel washout on the descent to Soutrivier who broke his collar-bone and punctured a lung. It makes my blood chill, as I reached top speed (edit - 76.4 km/h) on the descent where the lady was being loaded in the ambulance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferro Posted September 27, 2017 Share Anyone know how the guy(s?) on the gravel grinders fared? Some of the descents must have been interesting. I was quite thankful near the end that i decided to take the dual suss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bj horn Posted September 27, 2017 Share Big up to the locals of Uniondale,De Vlught and Buffelsnek who came out in numbers to cheer on the riders,especially the oomie playing his guitar all out of tune near De Vlught. Started In G with a friend and our group had a guy with a old road bike and there was also a guy on rollerblades,don't know if he took part though. Lots of riders with cramps,lots of lost waterbottles and for the first time saw riders having flats . Waterpoints looked bad with all the cups etc lying around . Had lots of fun.

Robbie Stewart Posted September 27, 2017 Share https://www.jetlineactionphoto.com/find_photos.php?e=9855 I resemble the "beached whale" look, so I think I will skip the buying of pictures this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubarra Posted September 27, 2017 Share I resemble the "beached whale" look, so I think I will skip the buying of pictures this year... Funny how often the Jetline photographs don't resemble the mean "pro-racer look" we have of ourselves in our minds - must be something wrong with their lenses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
