Cool, hopefully its warmer by Friday...

Park cars in Fox Street opposite the restaurants.

i saw someone i passed "get lost" and he ended up finishing just ahead of me. the last few kms of the 70 were easily open to that

Speedracer - the event starts at 7pm, from The Chalkboard, at 286 Fox Street, City & Suburban, at the Maboneng precinct.

Next event is 29 July 2011 at the Chalkboard. Don't forget!

Header changed, new date is up! I'm waiting to get some shots from the last ride, as soon as I do I will post them. And Leturbo, I hope we get you up here!

Wow, that's further than I thought... Will definitely add some distance, incorporate more of Braamfontein and the Constitutional Court area. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

It was a great ride. Cold though. About 25 people. Next ride 29 July. Can anyone tell me the distance? I estimate about 9km

Dress warmly - it's going to be close to freezing!!

It's tomorrow night! Expecting a really good turnout. Come on Joburg hubbers!

For this Friday, everyone take note of the new start at Chalkboard / The Bioscope, 286 Fox Street, Johannesburg, a block away from the Arts on Main complex. Chalkboard has put together a special for veggie soup, bread and beer for after the ride. they need numbers, so if any hubbers are coming and you haven't confirmed on FB, let me know here and we can get the catering straight. Dont be scared. Dont be lazy

Next ride on 24 June 2011, don't forget!!! Will be Starting at the Chalkboard, 286 Fox Street, at the Main Street Life complex. Good food and drinks for after, safe parking. Full details to follow

Definite longer ride this time (last time was FAR less than 10kms), incorporating the CBD, Jeppestown, the upgraded Ellis Park precinct, Braamfontein and Mayfair/Fordsburg. It's going to be GOOD

My friend did it on a cannondale fixie. good time too.

Next event 24 June 2011 - diarise!! Likely changes to start/finish and definite route changes. Look out for updates here

Thanks everyone for coming, the even was fun, the next one promises to be even better. We have a good age range, from kids on BMXes to older dudes like me, all kinds of bikes, and everyone had fun. I will be posting on the next one a few days before the event, keep your eyes peeled. Join us, you will see your city as you never have before, and you will meet friendly, positive people who are there to have FUN!!

Seriously, LeTurbo is the man!! How do you, a Capetonian, get it; and so many Joburgers don't?

The distance is probably less than 10kms, and the pace will be relaxed. Rest assured we WILL NOT let anyone be dropped, left behind or get lost. It is going to be a fun ride, and the point is to stay in a group.

Oh I knew we would get those comments. There's really no point in arguing with people who are ignorant of their own city. I have commuted through town and I ride through town in the daytime and at night. It's not safe, just like riding a bicycle on the road anywhere in SA isn't. But it is fun, especially in a group at night when the streets are quieter. A lot of fun. I won't lie though, it will be COLD tomorrow night

just over 20 when i last checked. i know a few more people are coming, not sure how many of the FB confirmations will turn up.

There were a few hubbers interested when i first posted about it a month and a half ago... I know a couple of hubbers that are attending, great to hear you are coming!

Starts at the parking lot at the Market Theatre 18h45-19h00, group ride through town, relaxed pace, any bikes welcome, stop for refreshments at Arts on Main precinct halfway, we expect to be done riding by 21h30-22h00. This ride is going to become a regular monthly event. The organisers are open to route suggestions or any other suggestions. What important is to get as many people as possible and this can be the start of something great in Joburg. The facebook event page is http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=144798665591767

Agreed that we need to be visible and acknowledged, and we must try and incorporate major roads to achieve that. We have time, so keep suggestions coming.
