drubin Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Sunday I did my first +40km (it was 75km) ride EVER and it was the ride for sight race leaving from just around the corner from peddlers. I said to my self if I get a puncher there is no way on earth I am changing it and I will wait for the sweepers So sadly less then 2km into the race hadn't even gotten to OuKaap se weg and i get a flat not even a puncher but the valve on my tube just decided to die! Yes I as the moron changing their tier on the left hand side of the road, although most of you would have missed me because I assume you were in a group before "U" About half way through changing my tires the Olymic van stopped next to me and helped me the rest of the way(with a decent pump at least). So thanks guys absolutely great service if I was in that area I would defiantly come to your guys shop to give you some support! Oddly enough the sweeper van drove past me about 6 or 7km from the finish and almost forced me to get in.. My reply was are you insane I got this far I am damnwell finishing! PS Although technically I did the full distance, I missed the cut off time so didn't get an official time either way I am happy because longest ride ever.
LeTurbo Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Well done just for doing it. It does get better and easier from here!
Bike Mob Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I remember seeing a puncher at Killarney last year too... it was funny. Well done for finishing and having the mental strength to keep going when people tell you you cant. It will make you stronger.
