THE BODY CENTRE Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Just a very quick pick from today racing: Men & Ladies elite raceLadies did 3 laps x 39km, the Men - 5laps of 39km. Race started 12h00 in Oudtshoorn .. nuf said. Route mostly flat with one slight uphill drag and one short but painfully sharp climb. See pics later - i promise the camera was horisontally level break on lap 1. One rider stayed in the break till the end. See later James Perry Burry on the sharp climb. Still lap 1
Speed Devil Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Nice pics Ronelle. How hot was the weather there?
hitman Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Jeez! That looks like a serious hill! Starting to quiver for Masters Champs end of May! I'm gonna have to train on The Glen for the next 12 weeks!
THE BODY CENTRE Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 The break - lap 4 (by now the riders have split in 3 groups, if they we're still riding. .. ) the ostriches enjoyed the racing! Nic - has wings
THE BODY CENTRE Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 On lap 5 (last lap) approx 15km to go ... LADIES FINISH Elite FINISH And my personal hero of the day (and not to take anything from anybody) - the Winner of the U/23 race - Clinton Barrow, 1st year u/23 and in a break for 185 of the 195km
butafly Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Jeez! That looks like a serious hill! Starting to quiver for Masters Champs end of May! I'm gonna have to train on The Glen for the next 12 weeks! wonder if the vets will do the same course ------- answer us GL (pretty please) what length and gradient of the hill?
THE BODY CENTRE Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 If you look up the road, to the right behind the black /dark car - there is a turquoois object -- that is where Jay Thompson & David George crashed - on the last turn down to the sprint finish!
THE BODY CENTRE Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 Ok, this should give you some idea of the 2 hills (thanks in advance RaymondC for the PS yr itching to do .. ) This was from the Jnr Race tho the rest of the route is FLAT, and it gets windy as the day goes on, AND there is no shelter (and no trees, and nothing else that gives shade!)
Wolweseun Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Thanks for the Pics Congratulations to Clinton Barrow on winning the Under 23 All the hard work is starting to pay off
