Next time be that guy and speak to the “idiot” and tell him/her to either ride straight or sit at back...( my favorite pastime ). He/she probably did not even know he/she was doing it , not an excuse, but he/she might always ride on his own and not know...

Or just make sure you not sitting behind a squirrel...

He was talked to, not just by me and the Mtb'er, but also the lady he switched. He kept his line for a short time, until he lost the plot again.

 

Some people just ride that way, had a chap with a Club 21 shirt on, that rode like this last year with the CTCT. I elicited a good chuckle from the guys around us when I later told him I will hunt him down afterwards, if he caused me to fall, as I had his name that was printed on his race number, and his number itself.

Didn't do much too improve his behavior, so I slowed right up for him to just get away from me.

Without any climbs or meaningful distance it would've been quite boring without wind IMO... 😁

hahaha, it was supposed to be a fun ride.. I was away abroad and off bike for just over 2 weeks.

I returned on Sunday and entered on Tuesday, then Wednesday the wind predictions came out 😅

I only noticed the wind on my way home 😅

I'm fairly big oke @ 1.8m & 100kg plus..

The riders behind me would also not notice the headwind down the N7.

After the N7 one oke rekkoned "Check this cross wind" 😱 🤣 

I swallowed my words rather and pushed on to the finish..  😰 😲

The race report on the group chat:
Race report:
Klyde got a KOM Milnerton to Melbos
Ben rode into a someone that decided to take a nap on the climb
Waldo won the intermediary sprint at 1km to go 🤦‍♂️

Not quite the same flair as the 2019 report, but I'll take it. 😉
