Groot Lem Posted December 11, 2006 Share Saw all the rich wannabees, including mr McLean riding with the real team this weekend. About 60 of them Saturday and Sunday in the nice Soth Easter between Strand and Stellenbosch. How much did people pay again... to ride 50 metres behind some German speaking cyclist?Normally our people train at 5 in the morning, how is it to ride over lunch time in the middle of the summer?

fatcyclist Posted December 11, 2006 Share Groot_Lem: we also saw them healmetless skipping robots in Stellenbosch yesterday on our way from Jonkershoek...wanted to drive up next to Jens and say 'autograph please!' followed by 'you know in SA law requires you to wear a helmet' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomerSimpson Posted December 11, 2006 Share Yeah, saw them (bout 3 different groups) on the way to Somerset West on Saturday late morning, followed by 5 Rabobank riders, then the T-Mobile squad near the Steynsrus turnoff, and then 4-5 guys (helmetless) in bright blue kit...anybody know who this might be?

Seen them a lot on Chappies / round Camps Bay (a lot -> 4 times) I'd like them all to come to the sea side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velouria Posted December 11, 2006 Share I saw the CSC bunch on the R44 yesterday heading towards Stellenbosch - Bjarne even waved... And 5 minutes later, 3 Rabobanks and a Moblie came past us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Seuss Posted December 11, 2006 Share was a nice pick in pro cycling about a year ago of jan riding somewhere in CT without his helmet. one of our ZA guys wrote a letter to the editor complaining about this non-helmet riding when the guys come to SA & got letter of the month - think he won a fizik saddle or something.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest colonel Posted December 11, 2006 Share Someone I know said it was to expensive(R15 000) to ride with them so he went and bought a Cervelo instead and has gone today. I personally think it is waste of serious money. What is it going to do for you? Its not going to make you a better rider but I guess when they in their funride bunch they can say: "Ya I was one of the fools who paid R15 000" to ride with CSC. CSC cant be that hard up for cash.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSC cant be that hard up for cash..........  I don't think its CSC who's after the cash. Its rather the hotels, guest houses where you must stay. They saw an oppertunity to make money. And ya, if you want to pay R15k to ride your bike with pro's, even thought you won't be able to stay with them... And most of them probarly can't even speak English... If in the position, I'd go down, stay in a R175 per day guest house, go and ride the same route they do. Its a free country, so you can ride where you want to... And usually the ^)(*( who has that amount of money to pay, can usually not really ride a bike. I'd like to know who did that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest colonel Posted December 11, 2006 Share Cervelo: I am not saying who it was but really I am a fan of the CSC team but to spend that money to ride with them is bull Im sorry and Im not bitter that I never went either. Apparently you have to ride behind them and not mingle while you ride. Please do me a favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastapouch Posted December 11, 2006 Share colonel, thats what I meant. Its ridicilous. Oh, they said ride with team CSC, nothing of having a chat bla bla bla... I wonder if the people who did that will do it again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest colonel Posted December 11, 2006 Share I doubt they will but you do get the "wannabees" that will bring it up at every single chance they get thou. Losers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delgado Posted December 11, 2006 Share a Fizik Aliante Titan to be precise....!!!!so it was you? Â Guilty as charged!! But my letter must be seen purely as a "satire" HaHa. It was worth the 2 min to compile a cynical email. The prize was bloody great though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
