KDEE Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Why would the faster rider even remotely consider listening to the slower tandem rider........
Spinnekop Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 O brother.....you bunch can moan on a Monday!!!!Good race. I enjoyed it. HARD work...but very enjoyable!!To Bulkpack.......thanks for bringing the race to us. You guys flashed that secret weapon a LOT! Nasty.J......selftan lotion.....or stop training with your arm and leg warmers dude!!To MTN that won the Vets.....lucky shot.....Well done! Slowpoke.You want to DQ the white line crossers? Go for it. You kill ALL the racing groups.Ladies, Elites, VA, VB, VC, VD, Tandems.What's left is the guys with your mentality and outlook. Ride to finish before 17:00. Not necessarily a bad thing but it sort of defeats the object of it being a RACE..... Easy answer. Rolling closure. The commissar that has some know how will do this and no safety issues will be worried about.......
Gary Rabie Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Spidy where you in VA? Who chased the break? I really thought we where away with Craig (BPM) Labuscagne Bro (not sure which one, I still have to learn. (Toyota) and Club 100 rider (sorry don't know who he is, but is really strong) OB (DQ'ed out of race 15km into the break) and me (VWE Finishline). We had 1min at the Henley turn. Anyways, I really enjoyed my first outing in VA and looking forward to mixing it up this year.
Jason Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 To Bulkpack.......thanks for bringing the race to us. You guys flashed that secret weapon a LOT! Nasty.J......selftan lotion.....or stop training with your arm and leg warmers dude!!Don't worry, worked on my tan a bit yesterday...

GreyOwl3.0 Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Hey Eldron...was a pleasure meeting/suffering with you! That was a pretty cool ride, I must admit. The one thing that bugged me...how many people in groups like M, N, Q and the like have following cars? I lost count of cars sitting following right behind their loved ones and getting in the way of all the cyclists. Its ridiculous and should not be allowed(I'm sure its not) But otherwise it was a good fun day! nicely organised, well marked and a good event. Although I am sure RHEMA south's congregation were being taught a lesson in patience!! Ha ha!!
Spinnekop Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Spidy where you in VA? Was lurking there yes. Who chased the break?

OB (DQ'ed out of race 15km into the break) and me (VWE Finishline). We had 1min at the Henley turn. Why was he DQed? Or should I not even ask?? Anyways' date=' I really enjoyed my first outing in VA and looking forward to mixing it up this year.[/quote'] VA's are FUN!! Welcome.........

Speeking of Focussing........Pitty Focus opted to race the 35-39 cat.....easy group for a bunch of pro's........

Although I am sure RHEMA south's congregation were being taught a lesson in patience!! Ha ha!![/quote'] Right back at ya Grey! Agreed! The "leap frogging" cars were the worst - remember the guy in the white bakkie with HUGE trailer that overtook us like 5 times? A vehicle that large with a trailer that long makes it very difficult for vehicles trying to over take... Crazy situation. On the RHEMA issue - it's OK - Ray Maccy already hates us - didn't he say the 94.7 stopped worshippers from lining his pockets church seats??
GreyOwl3.0 Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Ray Mac should start cycling and work off his weight! I dunno how long we were stoppped waiting for those cars to cross over? Eldron, there was that white bakkie with the trailer for bikes, the white VITO, the black Dodge and a couple others that were sitting in the lane right behind the cyclists they were following. I must admit, I did think that you were gesturing for the DODGE to come through and pace! Very funny!
Spinnekop Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Did anyone see the dude with the Giant in the Vets bunch with the NEW Dura Ace Grouppo on......Very nice bling!!!
GreyOwl3.0 Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 I did see Nic Whites BH with new DA...nice!
Gman1834 Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 What a race, Lots of wind especially if you stay on the left of the line. I did a lot of pacing in the second half B group. Who was the TB marshal with Pink rims, She was with the B bunch all the way, "Thanks for your patience and keeping us safe"
KlapperKnop Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Did anyone see the dude with the Giant in the Vets bunch with the NEW Dura Ace Grouppo on......Very nice bling!!! I also saw a dude with a white Super Six and the latest 11 speed Record Gruppo .....
Guest Michelle Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 thanks SB had a great performance from our Club 100 30+ vets team today...Pity about your team manager
Pantani Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 I also saw a dude with a white Super Six and the latest 11 speed Record Gruppo ..... Talk ***, you looked broken at the finish, I can't believe you could even see straight nevermind identifying grouppos!
KlapperKnop Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Talk ***' date=' you looked broken at the finish, I can't believe you could even see straight nevermind identifying grouppos![/quote'] At the start I am always fresh ... the gruppos all look the same at the finish .... even the chicks look the same!!
