Telkom Satellite PIG!!!!!!

[Guest Big H]

We were manning waterpoint 4! (foot of Hekpoot) I personally walked more than a km up the road to clean up! Come on roadies' date=' if the Mountainbikers can learn to behave, so can we!

The pic below was taken after the first ladies went past us - you can just imagine what it looked like after 3000 more cyclists went past!

Dropping empty water sachets in close proximity to a waterpoint is normal. Organisers should have people with black bags manning the stretch after the waterpoint. If they did not do it here they should take note and do it next time.

 

Cyslist however willfully throwing away sachets and littering en route are definitely cyclists "behaving badly". full marks to the Hubbers who admonished them!!!!!!!

 

 ....... I applaud you!!!!!!

How about Pornstar sponsor some re-useable gell containers in the next telkom race pack' date=' and problem solved??

PS. I used some of the Wasp gels this weekend and I loved them, The taste is better but they are expensive

Bought my wasp gell from Dischem.  Came with re-useable containers.  Shot Pornstar.

Those Flasks with the Gell works Great. Used it now at a few races. Less Hassel and no sticky shirts afterwards.

  I bought the new Vanilla with peptopro and our Dischem only had the loose gels. The ones with the botle and container not my flavour, and only 3 on the shelf

Been using the gell flasks since begining of the year, the runners have been with them for a while. Once you get used to it there is no going back to anything................................ AND IT DONT LITTER.

Whasp have the bottles to refill and i belive Pace and Power are looking at it for November odd.

Problem with the gel flask, and I have one, is I now use whasp products and I use 3 different gels on a race. I start with the one with amino acids and then the one with 50mg caffeine and then the 100mg caffeine. I am back to stuffing them in my jersey and getting a bit sticky. The stuff washes out easily so its no big deal

Will suck the thing like a hoover vac. and hope not to be that sticky.

littering is a bad habit, it is not up to the water station helpers to clean up. they have already given up their free time and thanks for that.

if you a sponsored rider even worse, you will be remembered and should be named and shamed.

NO BREAK AT ALL...... what would Zibi do????????.....Zap it in a Zibi can??????

[Edition 507]

Come on' date=' post his name!

Apparently many riders in the VB bunch, particularly BOSS Logistics, riders feel they have the right to litter as well.

CarbonBoy unfortunately I don't know his name. Maybe someone can help with his details?

I thought I had remembered the BOSS Logistics PIG's number but after Hekpoort all that was in my memory was pain

[Trapper]

I did the MTB on Sunday.  (Having been a Roadie) i was amazed at the lack of littering.  At the first water station, one of the front racers came past, grabbed the cup of water and dashed off in hot pursuit.  AMAZING - he finished the drink, crumpled the cup and PUT IT IN HIS POCKET!!  The two young guys manning the station was hopping up and down with "DID YA SEE THAT!!" I for one was sincereley impressed

No

 

 

I'm the type of guy that dose stop and pick up my litter. Then again this is a roadie topic where as with MTBs we say:

 

"don't leave any footprints - only tyre tracks"

No, we are talking about a PIG! he threw his goo wrapper in the velt ... didn't "drop" it in hot pursuit.....

used and empty sachets make your cycling shirt and everything inside it sticky. its a mess, especially when you have the unused ones in the same pocket.
