Tumbleweed Posted October 15, 2007 Share Holly roller how did your race go' date=' I thought you guys said it was flat. My gaai af getrap!! Maar dit was lekkeeeer!!!!! [/quote'] lekker se moer, man! no, it went okay, but i was way over-geared (42X15). heck, i also thought it was going to be totally flat. i struggled up the hill in the middle. then developed "phantom gears". going into the wind, my fingers kept on flicking at sh*ters that weren't there! did you shout at me on the road? My first one as well ' date=' enjoyed it . The last 10 to 20 km's was really a tester . Holy one , were you the guy on the white singlespeed Giant ? [/quote'] no, i think that was the dude who won - the only ss rider who was chipped. he was brilliant. finished in 4:10. i chilled for a bit at the halfway mark, but ride time according to a wonky garmin was around 6:00 for me. oh, i was on a chrome sunn, with the original ]raked-out rigid fork holy roller2007-10-15 08:00:09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Li Mu Bai Posted October 16, 2007 Share Lol Kritzie, you should have known all mtb'ers try to get rid of ticks sitting on their wheel. Its hard enough doing the route without helping someone else to beat you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
