Edereese Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Definitely not my day! Derailer hanger snapped off at millers point, chain cassette and derailer stuffed. Luckily the camera man had some tools, managed to setup 52 14 fixed. Did not have the right mindset for smits, chappies and suikerbossie and definitely not spending the afternoon waiting for a sweep vehicle, soooo... I was the guy going in the opposite direction. Made it home safely ???? Rip to the fellow cyclist. Frail. "Will forever remain "Frail" and Dadbod Racing 2

Man with no name Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Interested to know what you guys saw power and (other) stats wise? My NP was way lower (35watts), mainly due to the wind in the first half. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

TCTG Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Tough day in the saddle! Worked twice as hard. Happy I finished without incident. A buddy of mine broke is clavicle 3 km from the end. Still finished but he now needs an operation and he is feeling the pain. In the end we must always count our blessings.[emoji120] Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk kader01, Andrew_Smith, DJR and 5 others 8
devocean Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) I started in $. I'd guess that more than a third of the bunch was involved or caught behind a crash in the first few hundred meters before even getting onto Nelson Mandela Boulevard. Spent the next hour chasing at full gas with a group of around 15 guys who were way out of my league. Got to about 20 seconds off back of the front bunch when they dropped me on Fish Hoek main road. They made it to the bunch and I was left to crawl along in the headwinds in no man's land with three other stragglers. Around Smits some more $ dudes caught us up and we hammered through the tail wind sections but our little bunch went to pieces though the cross / headwind section up to sun valley. Was down to 4 of us by the time we got to chappies and picked up some dropped riders along the way to suikerbossie. With all of us shattered, one of the Savages sat on the front most of the way down along the 12 apostles to home. Pretty humbling day out!
