It helps to get a foot in the door if one of your riders & fellow hubbers is the online editor at Bicycling SA....

 

(We have to be very careful about what we skinner about Bicycling SA on thehub...)

 

Think it is great to get the perspective on races from one of the "amateur" teams (If I'm allowed to use that term)

This was also my first time riding in $ and it felt pretty great riding with the police escort out in front. Sadly I got dropped at 80km's on the one of the last rollers, ended up having to TT to the finish alone. The rest of $ bunch finishing about 2 minutes behind me.

 

Big thanks to the guys who did all the work upfront

Nice report, especially coming from a Savage ????. It adds a bit of longevity to the whole experience of the events we do.

Also have to say that the 99er organization is superb!

Little bit disappointed with some riders (JOC rider most of all, I counted 4 times) repeatedly riding up the side of the bunch over the white line.

Good riding in general and kudos to all who were willing to work in front ???? My 2nd road race in a looong time, so I did not feel too bad about only pulling front for about 1km (when chasing the breakaway - sorry Aaron ;-)

See ya'll at the races
