Dr. Seuss Posted December 14, 2006 Share the pace was far better today - we ave 30km/h & this includes a 10 minute stop. lost my nerve around a corner & hit the brakes! as predicted thebike started going straight & i had to bunnyhop about 3 trafficislands to eventually come to a standstill in some loose sand! very nearly came down VERY hard!!!! TG thatthere was no cars coming from the front. was too lazy to remove my racing1 wheels last night, so now i sit with a bent rim. rest of the bike seems ok - will just remove the stem & check out the fork before i do a hincapie. pantani - many thanks for waiting & turning back to check if i am OK.

Pantani Posted December 14, 2006 Share Bwahahaha, I still have the image of you jumping island after island and ending up in the bushes burned into my mind! But to your credit, awesome bike skills, impressed that you didn't go down since from where I was watching it seemed inevitable... Yeah, was very nice ride this morning...

Dr. Seuss Posted December 14, 2006 Share so you are in next week? it might be a good idea to warm up until you hit northcliff! if you really want to go like hell, why not do your ride on tuesday or thursday - pack moves way faster then than on wednesday. go the new bike set up yet?

[/quote'] Maybe I'll do the Thursday next week, fits well with my training plan. Tuesday I do 2 x 20s and there aren't any hills long enough to do 20's on. I warm up from home to the Engen - so when I hit the Engen I'm ready to go! New bike will hopefully get sorted out today/tomorrow. The Cowboys won't let me ride with them on Sunday if I haven't got it sorted out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantani Posted December 14, 2006 Share more of the same next week? Yeah, we will try and go long Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Will also try and get "Stephanie Saunders" to join us, her/his back has been playing up but he/she is keen to ride... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Seuss Posted December 14, 2006 Share 2 x 20s - i assume this is 2 x hill climbs for 20 minutes - go up golf club terrace 4 times & i am sure it will have the same affect! sounds good pantani. what is the pace like on monday? do you guys not take a day off? i will work on my cornering skills this week-end as to not endanger anyone!
