BMCfan Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Ok, so i also wanted to 'feel' the action, so i decided to go to todays race. got a take away coffee at the M&B in d/ville and walked over to the school to check out the bikes and riders before i head off to vissershok! <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Needles to say, at 9:00 the race got underway and i was sweating in the shade next to the startline. took some pics and decided that im NOT going to sit and wait for cyclist to come past (or passed out<?: prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" /> ) 3 times (or maybe less ) in this sweltering heat. when i went over vissers in the car at about 9:20 it was already 29 degrees!!!! not R&R quailty, but for you peeps in the office, this was todays the start! Sign-on tables on the start line
