Hopefully they are different colours so you can do Dirtbreath's crotch temp test for me and give me feedback.

Thanks for posting the info about the incident. I agree that NF is one of the safest venues and that is why I have been using it (and will continue to use it). I don't however think that it is totally safe for anyone to ride at any venue on their own anymore, especially women. Increasing the number of youngsters on patrol will definitely help but Northern Farm covers such a vast area and we cannot expect them to secure the entire area all at once therefore we should rather ride in groups. If you plan on riding solo, rather ride in the mornings when the Farm is busier.

It all depends on whether we just sit back and let it happen or not.

Good thing, the more the merrier (and safer too). I've just received a reply to my email to Simon Nash (NF mtb representative) and I am going to meet up with him when I'm back in Gauteng as he says that I can be of assistance.

Much appreciated, thanks DB.

Is there any difference in the thickness of the fabric? I agree about the TITS part. I've found that all the bibs I own feel okay up to about 4 hours and then the Assos wins hands down.

You'll have to wait and see. Don't worry...I'm sure there are quite a few Hubbers who will vouch for me.

Yay! I will start a thread under "Group Rides" when I'm back in Gauteng. I will PM all of you who have already shown an interested so that you are aware of the thread.

it depends how "friendly" you are with our lads I promise I will be friendly but not that friendly!

Great Will add you to the list.

I usually train in the afternoons both during the week and weekends. There are showers at Groenkloof but I would prefer not going to work looking like a drenched rat every morning. You probably ride at almost double my speed but perhaps we could coordinate our training routes so that we intersect every now and again and can keep a check on each other.

I have just seen this on a website and this is the first I've heard of it. Anyone know anything about this? I always buy the black bib shorts. http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/product/5476/Assos_FI_13_Mille_Bib_Shorts "Please Note: Assos clothing is colour rated for the temperature exposure: Red: 12-18 degrees Blue: 8-16 degrees Titan: 6-12 degrees Yellow: 0-8 degrees Black: -6-+6 degrees "

Wasn't snapping at you Mandibles I used to be in the police and just get a bit frustrated when a station with maybe 2/3 vehicles is magically supposed to be everywhere all at once. Hat off to you though being proactive' date=' that's what we need... and no riding by yourself there anymore, find yourself a nice lad to ride with. [/quote'] I'm busy making a list of nice lads. Anyone (male or female) who is interested in joining me for some slow rides at NF and/or Groenkloof is welcome to PM me and I'll try get a training group together.

I pull the inner soles out and let them dry on their own. They dry overnight.

I also put mine in the washing machine. Mine don't have any bling bits though. Have been washing my mtb shoes in this manner for many years and it doesn't seem to cause any issues.
