Agree with most posts on this page. It only was my second outting at Fountains and one in a very long time. Yeah, maybe I was slow, but unfit? No. Unskilled? oohh yeah. After many obstacles I though, damn, could have done that one. So yes I think the intention of the ride was good, but it was difficult with 17 riders, as many also said . Slick nailed it right on the head, maybe we should have split right from the beginning. (Oh yes, expect a PM from me, need to go to the Spruit School sometime) One group could have done Fountains, and the other Groenies, and then switched around. But its also a matter of repetition and as Ms Slick put it, just to get out there as much as possible. Even with being nr 17 most of the times on Sat, it stil was awesome, had some good laughs and chats and met awesome folk. Definitely the kind of people I would suffer with on a looonnggg ride.
