'Dale Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 I squeezed every bit of my stamina towards a 3h15. My Polar shows 3:41! Damn, that Cape Doctor is a crazy one.
niklasvm Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 I agree, my goal was the elusive sub 3 but unluckily only did about 3:30. I don't think many people went under 3 today. Anyone know what the winning time was for the leaders in E group?
fandacious Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 I was in VB and rode 3h10. I think the front VB guys were around 3h - 3h05
fandacious Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 2h46 show off! thats hectic tho.. 2 yrs ago invitational rode 2h20 so the wind added 26mins to the pros. never mind the plebs its about a 15.6% time increase... make of it what u will
Guest colonel Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 No show off dude it was asked. 2yrs ago I dont think they did Boyes drive? Last year was the 1st time if am correct and it takes longer to do Boyes drive than the main road.
fandacious Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 hmmm also true... i wonder how long to do the boyes drive route on a non windy day? congrats tho... seriously impressed
David #7 Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 This Colonel guy is one of the few people here that can ride. Sani last weekend, 2:46 today. Well done.
David #7 Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 and he rode giro this week... Bliksem, thats hard core. Well done mate.
niklasvm Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 on SABC they said the invitational group climbed suikerbossie at 38km/h. is that even possible?
kosmonooit Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 4:40 - I had a good ride from QQ, wind wasnt that hectic c.f. last year and I could keep my pace up the hills (about 60 cadence, below that its slow mo sukkle mode) didnt find any bunches to ride with from Smitswinkel it seems everyone was on their own mission from that point on.?Stunning ride, I am very happy. Its a real priviledge to be able to do it. Thanks to all.
leet22 Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 5 hours Broke my Front DR cable on hospital ben and rode to blue route water point in large cog. Guy helped me there but wasted 45 minutes fixing it, so time was shot so mellowed my ride and helped ppl along the way. Fixed 1 broken chain and 3 punctures. Ride time on Garmin was about 4:10.
Frog Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 I had exactly the same sub3 goal (before I saw the wind forecast) and result of 3:30 also in E. It seems the weather plays a huge role not to mention chain coming off twice. Lets hope we don't get three windy Arguses in a row!
niklasvm Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 I dropped my chain at the base of Wynberg hill and as a result lost 40s off the front group, never managed to catch them but i think i overexerted myself completely by trying to. Can't wait to take a look at the results.
