'Cyclers keep Left' said the signs on the side of the road

Reminds me of this which was sent to our group last week

thanks DC team OPI for doing all the work in group CL in that wind today.  I wish i could contribute, but was just hanging on and shamelessly wheel sucking (at least i didn't have legs left to go for the sprint😀).  pity about your punctures at the prison.  

my legs came off after the last water stop and seeing the temp rise by 1 deg for every 7 minutes of climbing topping out at 44.7 was emotional and physically draining. 🥵  working on the concept of linear regression im sure it would have been 50 at the top!!  had to conserve my water to cool the body as the steam just rises when you squirt it over your body.  crazy

The Rider from VC that got dropped and then wheelsucked AL all the way to the end your language is atrocious. 

Swearing at fellow rider's like stop riding like a P.... uncalled for!

I witnessed this and just forgot your race number unfortunately.

Witness this way too often (more often from your slightly elder folk), when okes absolutely lay into riders for doing the slightest of wrong on the bike. 

Gents need to dose less on the pre workout ekse...

babse .........

Does the "slightly elder folk" refer to old toppies behaving like 21 year-olds, OR 30 year-olds with dentures rattling in the wind when they open their mouths 🤔

I recall the 2011 Argus when guys were elbowing and sledging one another that would send the ozzy cricket team packing. Sometimes this behaviour is the closest some people will ever get to being good at anything ............. SAD 😥

Sounds like the all too common situation of someone's ego and expectations far exceeding their ability.

Does anyone know if there will be a 60miler option for the 2023 event?
