Meeting time 8:30 unless veto'ed. Breakfast after. The proposed method is that we do a numbers tally on Friday afternoon and tell everyone how much to pay for the breakfast provided by my Eveready husband Brendon!

Ah, sheer brilliance from Chilli! I will get a quote from B, I believe he is very reasonably priced Mintsauce, we would LOVE to have you! The Schwinn is ready and waiting, we can like to have you there! I'll pm you my number, let me know if you're making it

we can either go with everyone bring their own, or we can all share again (one person brings eggs, one brings bacon, etc) Whatt'dya all think?

Nah Ian you were FAST! we were proud to have you on our team! P.S. GOOD news! B has agreed that if we provide the ingredients, he will do the cooking! Bacon, eggs, toast, sausage, toast and coffee anyone?!

Byron fastest time 25:55 Fastest that I can find: Sean Badenhorst 25:49 Clinton Mcintosh 24:48 Johan Oelofse Jnr 24:36

Slowpoke, we all had a slice or two, I put it down to too much food and the complexities of eating for a 24 hour!

OK, details as follows: Venue: Northern Farm Time: 8:30 (??) Plan: Nice fun ride, some open roads, some technical trails (nothing too technical, one or two obstacles that can be walked if need be) Who's coming: MichH Dirt Rider Chilli Pepper Scotty (maybe) IanJ and Sonic (maybe?) Slowpoke (support?) Breakfast: unconfirmed So, who else is joining us? Any requested changes to the plan? Is 8:30 too early?

So, there's a plan afoot to go riding on Sunday morning, either Logwood or Northern Farm. If I ask nicely, I might even be able to convince Brendon to cook us breakfast. ewep is out (something about a new bundle of joy), photo fairy is interested, what about IanJ, Dirt Rider, The Thug (with his new bling), scotty, Mampara etc etc? Let me know whether you're in or out, Logwood or NF, cooked breakfast or not (I will take the votes on breakfast back to Brendon and ask nicely with those big soppy eyes!)

Ja, I have a theory that my part ends at the giving, their part begins at the receiving! Makes me feel MUCH better when I'm ripped off like Dirt-Rider!

Dirt-Rider, good on you for having a conscience and still being willing to give first and second guess yourself later. That's what's important. The wheels will turn as epoh said P.S. nice ride on Sunday, my thigh, wrist and shoulder only started to get stiff and sore this a.m. after that embarassing fall!

amoryns, check out http://forums.mtbr.com/forumdisplay.php?f=63 It's the endurance forum at MTBreview, some good info, if you can get past the overseas product names. P.S. Good luck at Sabie Experience! Wish I was riding!

Wow! I'm amazed to see the power of our little forum here! Well done to all who raised this issue with the organisers!

Yup, nice kitchen, what's up with the pillow?! Oh yes, you rode this weekend didn't you? Probably still feeling a bit tender!

Hey Mampara, I was taken for a ride! They told me that I had to post a pic of me on my bike!! Hehe!

What was the new SA record? Having fatty upfront for 3 1/2 laps?!! Hehe!

That's great news. I put off buying one of those because of my comprehensive medical aid. I then found that Netcare911 do one, SMS for R5 to get your details loaded and Whammo!

Hmmm... not sure where Allen Glen is but I live in Welties near Palm Court Shopping Centre! Small world... Now back to the morning rides... seems like you're a little fast for me! I ride about 23 average with no drafting on our morning rides, but my races are usually closer to 28 over the first half. When I'm big and strong...

Hey warped! Missed all your replies! How fast do you go out on the 45km, and when do you get back?Might wanna join you, but prolly a bit slow. Yep, we're gonna make IanJ work hard and then slack off after dark when no-one can see you!!

Warped? I think that sending out at 10:42 is always going to bring in a poor result!! Interesting to see that you obviously live near me, I am less than 2km from Hillfox. wanna get together and ride sometime? I also ride with a friend from 5am to +- 6am, about 20 - 25km every wed and Fri morning

Hahahahaha! I'll have to tell my hubbie that one!!! And I'm loving the pencil jokes...!

bikemonster, I'm intrigued and scared at the same time... that you'll explain that to me!!

My new baby My old baby

Hey Fulmenicilus, I say know where your strengths lie. My strength lies in being the back marker for people to compare themselves to!!!

NOW I'm in my element! As an overexcited newbie, I regularly logged 11-12 km/hr on some of those uphills, and I'd hate to know my minimum on the uphill between Blue Hills and Carswald right at the end, but I've only got a basic computer...

69.4km/hr. Pretty brave for me...
