[I FLY]

I remember rushing to finish my ride so I could stand on Witkoppen Road to watch them race past.

My memories of the race:

@mecheng89 do you know who Action_Man is? Here's a clue


edit: clearly winning the National Road Race champs in '11 doesn't rate as high as 2nd in '06.

Giving away my age, but back in the day of junior triathlon racing, Christoff would hammer us on the bike and put in the nail on the run.

He could have raced as a pro triathlete.

I followed it with keen interest and watched some of it in PE. It was either David George or Darren LillS tried to go solo to put time into the Englishman, but failed to gain enough time for the overall

David got all upset with Impey who chased him down from the break. He had commented that a South African should chase another one......or something like that.

Figured it out. Husband of a current women's pro MTBer, probably this country's best at the present moment.
