Every single time, lining up on the start line for a race

Every time I go ride at 5am. So I procrastinate a bit, then work it out in my head, "Ok, it's 15kms from home to meet my mates at 5:30am, So if I leave home at 5 on the dot, nice easy spin at 30km/h gets me there in on time perfectly" Then as I wana leave, I have to take The Browns to the Superbowl and my maths goes from basic math to Einstein level maths trying to work out just how fast I need to go to not be late and have my mates waiting for me and then watching the whatsapp group closely hoping someone else's bowels also start playing tok tokkie.

Yeah no other time except 5mins before the race starts 😂

And there's always 100 guys from cat 10 who chose to arrive 2 hours before their starts between you and the 1 portable toilet that the organiser chose to rent for the day.

Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣

 

Eish last week I spent more time repairing real punctures than actually riding my bike. But yes actually, had a "puncture" before leaving home too hence you'll see the ride actually started quite late 🤣🤣🤣

That flyer by Ferron, tactically sublime. He simply never flinched and never looked back with that 60 sec peak power effort. Race craft, platinum standard.

Kinda unorthodox way for Juan Sebastian Molano to ensure that TeamUAE got something out of the race, one of their riders...

This is my absolute worst thing at events. And you only need to get caught without bogroll once ....

An oke was disappointed I didn’t want to give him my roll so he could go “find a bush” at Red Hill… mate…

I hope he didn't step in what I left in one of those bushes a couple of minutes before the start 🤣

Eish! Molano, UAE puncheur, still continued the confrontation and whacked Hugo Page, I think, after the finish line. 
 

More importantly, today the road heads to the skies. GC shake-up imminent.

Maybe this all just a misunderstanding and he took his role a little too literally 😅 

I've seen it a couple times (once at winelands then once at tour du cap), the reason behind these extremely dangerous behaviours always being that "the other guy did something dangerous". It shows the perpetrators aren't the sharpest knives of the drawer.
