I still vote for the 15th March.

Beware! The Ides of March! Beware! I'm more scared of Holy Roller and the Mini Rollers. Dangerous bunch!

Anything on 15 March? The Argus riders can then join us too.

YAY! Looking forward to it Let's set a date for the Groenies Hub Ride. I'll gladly take control of the slower group. I know that place well and we can take shortcuts and meet up with the fast group at various points.

Here's some photos of Groenkloof to give you an idea of what to expect. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=65852&l=638ab&id=647031019

Excuse my ignorance. Where is Groenies?? Sorry...Groenkloof Nature Reserve. Near Unisa.

Feb dates are out for me. Have already entered races on those days.

I'm keen on a ride at Groenies too.

It sure does!

Caffiene is no longer a banned substance. http://www.wada-ama.org/rtecontent/document/PL2009_EN_Final.pdf " * The following substances included in the 2009 Monitoring Program (bupropion, caffeine, phenylephrine, phenylpropanolamine, pipradol, pseudoephedrine, synephrine) are not considered as Prohibited Substances."

Helloise it isn't too late. Go get a bike setup done. They will be able to see whether the frame is too big or not and perhaps all you need is a shorter stem or narrower handle bars or something along those lines to make it more comfortable. Go to your LBS and ask them to help you. They don't usually charge for it unless it is a fancy computerised setup.

You can't judge a bike by small, medium, large etc. I'm 1cm taller than Helloise. My road bike is an XS and my mtb is a medium. Each manufacturer has different sizing. Go for a proper bike setup and they will be able to tell you whether it is the correct size or not.

It looks like Wolverine's.

I had an issue yesterday which Steven promptly and very professionally dealt with. Thank-you Steven. Excellent customer service.
