Groenies has a couple of nice climbs but none of them are exceptionally long. Onion hill needs special mention as it is fairly steep (6% gradient I think) and carries on for over 1km if I remember correctly. There is such a wide route choice and you can do a whole ride without hitting singletrack if you so wish. Look at the map and you'll get an idea of where the jeep track and singletrack is situated.

You taking this training thing far too seriaaaasly !! Didn't say I was going there for training Thuggie

Really! Business or pleasure? Pleasure all the way...well interspersed with a bit of pain too on the uphills

Secret training sessions. Hope the wind is kind to me.

Yes, you need a light. You're welcome to use my lights if you are prepared to fetch them from me. You can then see what lights the others use and decide which light/s you want to buy for future D 'n Ds.

I think this is the incident you are speaking about (taken from the CycleLab newsletter sent out on Monday): "LATEST WARNING - Sunday 4 October 2009 This morning at about 8h00 six of us where riding our mountain bikes past the lion cages at the Lion Park when we were held up at gun point by three well organized individuals. They stole bikes, cycling shoes, cell phones, money, camel packs etc. They throw three bikes over the fence into the Lion Park, removed everyone?s cycling shoes and made-off with the three most expensive bikes. Clearly they have done this before and are not concerned about the size of the group. Regards Rob Zuccollo "

They do! Spud's wife cleans both Spud's and Dirty Twin's bike after a ride. And when you come down in a few weeks if you are really nice to us we will let you clean both our bikes after we get back from the Baviaans. Thanks for bestowing such a great honour on me. PS: I'm there next weekend.

Except for gloves which only cost R30 That explains your new gloves you got for TB. At that price I'd also get a few pairs

YIPPPEEEE!

Okay, here's the deal, you push me (if I need it) up the last little hill on day 1 and day 3 of Sani2C and I'll keep quiet about it.

R300??? Don't know how you got that right! What ever I buy for the bike costs R300 and that go's for Spuds wife as well. Going to give your wife R300 and ask her to go buy me some bike bits.

R300??? Don't know how you got that right!
