TYGA Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 I made up 5 places at the first beerstop but gave them all and a few more away the second we hit the first post beer climb. More Wood in the red Isuzu shirt was confirmed fastest guzzler of the day but it wasn't enough to keep him in the race! Maybe if it was a 12 lap race he would have been in with a chance but then only because no one else would have been able to stand let alone ride.
Shebeen Posted February 14, 2011 Author Posted February 14, 2011 Personal highlight was being heckled, mocked and tuned by SteveCT going up a singletrack uphill "YOU WANNA OVERTAKE, HUH, HUH...?!" while accelerating away from me only to have him hit the deck right in front of me after I caught him back up on the final descent....EAT THAT BITCH!that's not exactly how it happened, but i did indeed do a quick lie down just before the photographer. the general posse can decide who to believe, but just to balance the scales minty was riding a full suspension singlespeed (viewed to be worse than rogering your sister in some communities) photos should eventually be here: http://photobay.co.za/
Guest Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 MintSauce drinks like a girl! Hehehe. I caught him twice at the beerstop only to be caught again on the singletrack every time! Most fun I have had in a race since...well ever.
TitusTi Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Big thanks to the riders for turning up very early in the morning to drink beer, it take true dedication from fine specimens of athletic prowess! Also a big thanks to the beer sponsors Olaf at Crosstown, Dan at iRideAfrica and William for buying a case and leaving it in his shop, not helpful buddy! To SteveCT, buy a watch! MintSauce does indeed drink like a girl, he sure can ride a bike though. Myself and Dawson easily put the race out of contention on the first climb only to be hammered twice in the beer stops, how on earth did I lose 40 seconds at my best event? Amazing effort from Dan as he totally creamed us! Also pretty cool that we had one of the biggest categories! Grant, I'm trying to recruit a posse to head up for Rietvlei as well.
Guest Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 MintSauce does indeed drink like a girl, he sure can ride a bike though. Yip, he seems to have his bike riding well under control!
TYGA Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 These okes at photobay sure take their time...pics still aren't up.
MintSauce Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 These okes at photobay sure take their time...pics still aren't up. The pics were not taken for/by 'Photobay', but specifically under direction from Bicycling Mag for an article they'll be running. As such they cannot be posted publicly.
TYGA Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Thanks for setting that straight, one of the other posters above mentioned photobay.
ChrisH Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) Thanks for setting that straight, one of the other posters above mentioned photobay. Mintsause is correct about why I'm not able to post the pics publicly, but if you PM me your race number I'll send you a copy buckshee. Edited March 16, 2011 by ChrisH
LeTurbo Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 There's some pics in both Bicyccling and Ride magazines this month. Funnily, both magazines decided to do features on the fixie scene too.
TYGA Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Hey featuring yours truly doing the 2 things he loves most. Guzzling beer and riding bikes...famous for all the right reasons at last!
eggsovereasywithteandtoast Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 There's some ... in ...Bicyccling ... this month. F.. Shocking article. As interesting as Pack Jarow on a skateboard
RodTi Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Hey featuring yours truly doing the 2 things he loves most. Guzzling beer and riding bikes...famous for all the right reasons at last! Hey! Was wondering if you were in any of those - where you at in the group photo [or PM me if you're worried about receiving too much fan mail! ] Shocking article. As interesting as Pack Jarow on a skateboard Dude. You've made several comments in this regard, on several different SS and Fixie threads over several months, about how you don't get it/waste of time/fashion statement/trying to be cool etc etc... So what gives? For someone who's apparently not interested in it, you certainly spend a fair amount of time having a dig at it? Are you a closet single-speeder? Or even worse, a fixie-freak? Oh the horror...
eggsovereasywithteandtoast Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 ... come on, RodTi, lets be honest regarding the amateur-ish nature of that article in bicycling: 'Single Mingle" I'm sorry to say that I found it to be tasteless and common. The article and editing is worthy of an award. This one:
ChrisH Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) I accept the award with gratitude.I'd like to thank all those who made this possible, particularly South African Breweries. Edited April 5, 2011 by ChrisH
