Dischem Ride for Sight


Long Wheel Base

Recommended Posts

IICR last year that park area across had been closed in and no one was able to park inside like previous years? I just seem to remember something like that.

That was because of road works, the land is vacant (just do not tell EFF  :ph34r: )

Heard there was a massive crash 5km into the men’s elite race. Anybody know what happened? Someone I know broke his front wheel, lost car key and got some nasty roasties.

Yup i went down in that and taken away in the back of the bus... 68km/h according to my GPS.

Have no idea what happened, guy in front of me went down and I had nowhere to go, back tire is worn through to the carcass the way I locked up the back wheel trying to stop but at that speed there was no ways.

 

Bumped the head pretty bad, helmet is a write of but luckily Bontrager crash warranty will replace that and realized the importance of spending good money on a lid.

 

X-Rays cleared any broken bones but pretty banged up and booked off work this week with light duty till early March... haha I leave for TOGH in just over a week so that not going to work.

There was a pretty eina looking/sounding fall at about 20k's in the AS group ... Hope the guys that came down are ok!

Kudu's to the event orgs then for quick response . We started in the same batch and by the time I passed it looked to be mostly cleared up with about 4 ambulances on top of other org vehicles.

The number of potholes on the route, vs the effort to try mark them properly, vs actually filling has left a note in my mind to perhaps skip this event going forward - especially if there is no effort going forward to do something about it.

Yeah. and very few riders calling them out.  BL certainly had a fair number of irresponsible riders.

My plan for Sunday:

 

05:00 wake up

05:45 ride to start

07:04 start time

10:04 beer o’clock

11:00 ride home

12:00 ride straight into the pool

Glad you ride a sub 3.

7:04 start changed to 7:07.

10:04 changed to 10:08, so that means a 2h61 race time [emoji2957]

11:00 and 12:00 remained as is... a good day out.
