Dibles

Hog_, are you going to be attending?

three?and near-crippled?it's a group of one: meam going to bring the dale along and see how i go. sure i'll have to peel off and head beack at some point? YAY! Good to hear. Schwynn, guess this means that the bet is on again

Anyone else keen? There will be two groups - Easy and Fast.

Thanks, I'll put you and Turtlek in charge of the groups. You two can also decide where you want to stop for the picnic breakfast (during or after, at the bird hide dam or picnic tables etc).

You will just have to do it Mandibles but if you need help with "Marshalling" Sonic and I will give you a hand . We just need some of those Cyclelab Orange bibs' date=' a whistle and shock stick to make sure everyone rides no more than 2 abreast. Oh hang on a minute this is MTB isn't it . Seriously though if you need someone to show people around we can help, in fact after the 24 hour last year I can show them around and around and around and around ......... [/quote'] Thanks IanJ. I think what you guys should maybe do is interrogate everyone when they're gathered in the "start pen" (no, NOT with your shock stick). I'm sure there will be someone in the group who is slower than you who is willing to lead the easy group.

Yes' date='...you! [/quote'] I unfortunately definitely won't be there. Might catch the tail-end of the breakfast though. If we can't find someone to lead the easy group then the fast okes will have to slow down

Capri, it should work. If not then PM Shamus and ask for his advice as he is the Schwalbe rep. I doubt you will need to contact him though. I picked up at least 10 small punctures during a ride (mtb) and it sealed without any problems. I could see the blue droplets on the tyre where the holes were located. I didn't need to reinflate the tyre either which shows that it worked quickly.

I am currently using Doc Blue. I've only been using it for 2 or so months and have had no problems so far. I have picked up small punctures and it has sealed them immediately. It is the sealant which is recommended for use with Schwalbe tyres in order to not breach the warranty. Mandibles2009-05-25 11:53:54

Any volunteers to lead the easy group?

I'm not yet sure if I will be there. Will add you to the list. You might need to lead the slow group for us so I hope you remember the route we rode there last time.

So we will ride there then. How is it from mega watt park area? It is 21 kms according to my Garmin mapping tool.

Doubt that's possible. (The staying on their bikes part and not the ride). I recall you even wiped out at Northern Farm once.

It has been years since i have been there. Do people still park up at the top there by the buildings? Yes. It has become very popular so we need to decide on a meeting spot or have some way of knowing who is who.

how about benoni? haha! kidding. mandibles' date=' i may have to give the ride a miss, as i'll most probably have hassles getting me and the boys there.[/quote'] I vote "no" for Benoni.

Turtlek will be leading the faster group. Not sure yet who will lead the slower group. I doubt the ride will be much longer than 2 and a half hours for the fast group. I'll try and find out distances for you.

At a Hub ride no one gets left behind. There will hopefully be two groups - one slow and the other faster. No route has been decided on yet but I'm sure she will cope as NF doesn't have endless hills etc. It is very safe there so if she wants to turn back or sit and wait while the others ride it will be fine.

Any suggestions for a meeting spot?

D-R, try reading from page one.

ME ME ME..... demmit' date=' maybe one day! [/quote'] You had me all excited there for a couple of seconds...

Anyone else want to be added to the list?

Sorry you won't be able to make it Agteros. I might not be there either so we might have to organise a 2nd ride there later in the year.

This was taken at Northern Farm last weekend. The colours of autumn are so breathtaking that I rode there on both Saturday and Sunday. Mandibles2009-05-20 13:25:11
