Pure Savage Posted February 13, 2017 Share The South African National Road Champs, Tankwa Trek, TransCape MTB as well as the World Triathlon Series did little to thwart the spirits of the thousands of riders that lined up to ride the 99er Cycle Tour in Durbanville on Saturday. Owing to this fact the lack of firepower up front was clearly evident and naturally left us foaming at the mouth at the possibilities that lay ahead. There were however a couple of teams that would make our goal of podium tough work – namely, the lads from UCT Cycling who were here in full force as well as a couple Giants and one or two Stellenbosch Pro Cycling chaps lurking in the shadows.Click here to view the article Hamstring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skubarra Posted February 14, 2017 Share Nice report Savage, was my first time in the front bunch since 2014. I was chilling at the back of the group wondering "Did I became much stronger the past 3 years or did the front bunch became slower?" Now I know its not me that became stronger Patchelicious, Pure Savage and dee_biker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know its not me that became stronger Hopefully it helps seeding and spend some more time in A/$! What was not mentioned in the report was how well ridden the $ bunch rode. There was no crashes or complete retardedness. Was mighty impressed. Have seen some big crashes in the past at the 99er in $.

Aaron_B Posted February 14, 2017 Share That spinning windmill guy rides like that in every single race. He should just remove his big ring and shifter. VolkAdik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamstring - Road cycling would be pretty boring if you won group $ on your first attempt... Sparki 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure Savage Posted February 14, 2017 Share Pure Savage reach a wider audience? http://www.bicycling.co.za/blogs/tale-cramps-champ-pure-savage-99er-race-report/ Yup, our reports are up there as well. There are some slight tweaks between the two. It's like spot the difference game. (Normally the one on the hub has Brendon's grammar which is not the greatest at the best of times.)
