We woke on Monday morning to a wet and miserable day. After 308km in the last 3 days, the last thing any of us felt like was the time trial in rain! We decided to end our ritual of rolling down the road on our bikes to the start and rather took the car.
Mr Price (Sean and myself) were first of out of our team. We started 30 seconds behind Isabel Moolman(Blommie) and Mark Davel and said that we want to catch them as soon as possible. We started of hard and caught them after 1.5km. From there we pretty much rode at a hard, constant pace over the undulating (more uphill than downhill) course. We finished our time trial with a time of 45:20 and total tour time of 10.39.31, which gave us 14th in the sub vet category.
Boksburg-by-the-sea (Andrew and Mike) finished the TT in 45:58 and a total time 10:20:30 in 11th place in the sub vet category.
Emile finished the TT with a time of 45.30 and total time of 09:57:22.
Although it was tough, we all had a fantastic time and vowed to be back next year for more punishment.
Thanks to the Julian Cox our team manager for all the arrangements!
