3h16 and that was giving it 200% out of Group C - I was really hoping for a sub 3 this year, oh well!

Anyone know what the front C's did?

I wasnt even aware of that.. did see some other carnage in Simonds town though.What time did you do ? I accidently started in K... rode my tits off for a Onoficial 3:27

3:36 in J bunch.

 

 

 

Had a largely uneventful and relaxed day, apart from some peabrain in running shorts and a dirt jump style crash hat trying to edge me off the road past UCT and somebody using my rear wheel as a leaning post with predictable results - for him - on the way out of Simons Town.

Exactly where my chain dropped too - over hasty down shifting and could not get the chainring to grab chain again - felt like a compete idiot as you come to a dead halt when this happens on an uphill.

With Boyes Drive it makes the race a little bit longer but then on top if it now you get exposed to the wind as well. The problem is Cape Town always has wind like this in late summer

I pipped Colonel by 5sec at the Giro but he gave me carrots today smiley17.gif. 2:50 for me. I would have been worse were it not for Colonel's teammate. Don't know his name but his number was 91. He paced me home for the last 30km and gave me encouragement on Suikerbossie. I'm embarrassed to say I only had the energy to come through for a few pitiful pulls. Thanks dude!
