tHANKS for the Pics Ronelle!!! - Out team started off fast and then lost a bit of steam towards the end, but it was hard riding and loads of fun! Next year we'll try again for that Sub 6! the wind was a bit strong on the day I think.. Marius2008-11-24 00:10:51

I was remarking to someone while we were driving the final stretch that the "apparent final 20km" felt more like 30km....

 

The wind was terrible on the day.

 

I did backup on the day.

 

Funniest moment on the DC for me was the Firday night driving on the dirt roads in the mountains to find our cabin, our driver was more than a little anxious to get to the house and drove a bit too fast on a very bumpy road which caused the back door to fly open and out went a set of EASTON Carbon Deep sections and into the wilderness in the pitch dark.

 

I was in the back trying to stop the bikes from flying out as well while trying to get the drivers attention by knocking on the cabby window. They all thought i was joking with them and they were laughing their @sses off at me until Grant stopped the truck and discovered what happened.

 

So he set off down the road armed with cell phone light to try and find the wheelset

 

Found it and the wheels were ok

You guys looked strong when you came past us on the 2nd last hill close to Swellies. Well done!

Thanks - I'm sure we looked DEAD like everyone else

[The Pirate]

Great pics Ronelle ! Thank you. We came down from JHB and Louis Trichard for our first DC, it was an awesome experience. The Cape is by far the most beautiful province. These two of our team is Lappies from club 100 in Louis Trichard and Leon from cycle Lab in JHB. We will be back next year for second one for sure.

that turbo vite you gave me workde pretty well. It tastes like stroh rum and bioplus but it certainly did the trick. i'm gonna go grab me a box of them and try them again on sunday

And I had the worst timed possible visit to the house opposite from where I stood -- MISSED the Diakin VETS!!!

This is literally all I saw of you!
