Let's Ride

Glad you laughing...

But good luck. Please let us know which bike you end up going with. Have you had an ergofit done? Helps as you can take these measurements with when bicycle shopping.

I am 2 metres 2 centimeters tall. Ride a specialized roubaix and I actually cut the steerer tube right down. So for road bikes this might work. For mtb I ain't sure.

Eish. Sorry to hear. Makes me literally shiver. The skinny guy works at Old Mutual. Probably the best option if you don't mind walking.

Sorry to hear... I can bet they were people in cycling kit. Not necessarily cyclists though. Probably some tik addicts.

With short route riders joining the long route the short route riders had a tough time. I rode the short route and you basically expect noobs etc so I expect everyone to ride like a noob. When joining the long route the long route guys came past at a hell ova pace and it was scary for my friend. But I did ride behind and tried to tell everyone to pass a bit wider than what they would normally do.

Nice one.

CWC? You northern suburbs right?

Please don't do that. Next thing you will be riding in a speedo.

Love these stories.

Did the short route and pushed my rider up all the hills. Good work out as we were passing everyone and putting down quite a pace. But she goes so slowly down all the hills. Not ideal. But it's safer to have a noobie in the short group right at the back than in the long route causing havoc.

Just came back from a gig. Might as well stay awake.

Welcome to windy Cape Town. It's a lekker place. I smaak it.

Get better. Try doing some base. Long slow rides. Should help.

So not bad at all. But I was entered for the short route and will be riding it with a beginner (read slow).

Don't remember the gradient of helz being steep. How steep is it?

DC goodie bag was lekker. Shower gel and shampoo.

I have bean off coffee since yesterday. Time for a cuppa?

Seems I hit it lucky. SA Playboy was in mine.

So it could possibly fit me. .

Looks hot.

May he recover quickly. A very sad story. .

Only works if the actual rim is totally true.

Do that section twice a day. Just be careful and say a pray before the section. Use my hand to signal that I am going straight and look behind to see if the cars are waiting etc.

Just ride down Raapenburg Road very carefully and look when crossing those two intersections and use your hands to indicate that you are going straight.
