Vetplant Posted October 21, 2017 Posted October 21, 2017 Not really, you will see guys standing with bike banners that state the start group. Just keep a look out for your group and then fall in behind.My OCD nature puts me in my starting chute 1hour before, allows for any unforseen delays.
hilton_ Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Did my first one last year… Second one today. What a wonderful ride and route! (And the pace in A was proper! ????)
Vetplant Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Wow, what a lekker ride! First time doing it and I'll definitely be back again! Great thanks to the guy in the Giant kit in CL for your selfless time at the front pulling us to a preliminary finish time of 2h58. Yo, some of those first climbs really hurt and I got spat out of the front group. But the rest of the route is brilliant!
Patchelicious Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 https://www.facebook.com/TeamGenasys/posts/1510328269055011 Proud of this lightie! ????
hilton_ Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Results are up. Racetec have really upped their game these days. SMSs with times after the finish, results up by lunch!
Monark Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 But the sms time is 21 minutes slower than my garmin...
Neville Bailey Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 But the sms time is 21 minutes slower than my garmin... Mine too, but then I went to the Racetek site and the time is correct there.
Dexter-morgan Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Thanks to the guy that gave me drywors at about 85k.
b-rad Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Finished my 10th Amashova today. Rode in BL batch which seemed to split up a bit up Fox Hill and again in the Botha's hill area (?) until there were 9 of us. Caught a number of AL riders and ended up finishing in 2h43. Chuffed with it considering I have ridden a bicycle 3 times this year - once as a lead bicycle for a 42km run in March, a 40km ride in April, and a 35km ride on Wednesday. A decent running base helped a massive amount! I tried to have a few turns on the front but thought it prudent to save some energy considering my lack of riding.
Neville Bailey Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 I rode my 7th Amashova yesterday, and my first on a road bike and finished in 4 hrs 3 mins - the wind messed up my chance of a sub-4 hr. https://youtu.be/qUcQujsMooo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

(which was useful cause we were slacking a little with pace)Well done on a monster effort and time! A minute faster than the winners from AL.
pe3nguin Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 A minute faster than the winners from AL. Wasn't there this year, but this has to be the Tri-X boys right?

I have done a few Amashovas and have to say that between the 94.7, the Argus and the Amashova I actually like the route of the Amashova the most. I actually do not like Durban at all but would go down there anytime to go do the Amashova.
ricochet_rabbit Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Wasn't there this year, but this has to be the Tri-X boys right?yip, the results show a number of the Tri-X boys at the front of B batch.
