ok well I will have to go to and cycle at the gym this weekend as pay day is still a week and a bit away and I need to get my bike serviced and sorted out for next week ends meal on wheels 45km.....

I am in abit of a dilema... I have registered to do the Meals on Wheels ride at the end of this month and the 94.7 road challenge in November on my MTB as i dont have a roadbike. I have no problem riding it on my MTB but would like to fit slicks, the problem there is I don`t want to go out and buy a brand new set of slicks just to do 2 or so road rides a year but I also don`t want to use my MTB tires as i will then have to replace them sooner rather then later....

Um so far nothing....

@NotSoBigBen - Let me rephrase that...But one let down was the muddy uphills whichcaused the excessive hiking...It was still good fun....

@ Nofearnofun - My legs are still telling the tail of that blue route hike we took over that koppie twice...... I am definitely riding at the vlei again as it has some amazing single track and some awesome technical downhills.... but one let down was the uphills....

Ok I will Do it I will be riding a blue and white Merida TFS 300 with a blue maxed helmut( yeah i know), tekkies and a 3l camelpack....Yeah I know need to upgrade but hey still noob but saving up for the extras.... Any idea how long it will take me from edenvale to reitvlei by car so I know what time i need to leave?

Heya All Was looking for people to ride with at modders but no one biting....Can I join your group? Need the saddle time. I have never been to Reitvlei and keen to ride it with people that know the root...

Hey Richard..... Do you want to do a 35km ride at Modders tomorrow? Ok cancel the above gonna go ride in the Souf at the vlei... let me know next time you want to ride Modders....

Why didnt you just suggest that they relocate the thread to the Chit chat section instead..... Now the banter has to begin affresh.....

Ja I commented on the thread last week monday, had to travel for work and only logged back on on friday and it was gone.....

Still havent managed to get to Modders due to a injury, Hopefully this saturday will be d-day. Anyone keen to join for the yellow loop.... Slowish and unfit riders......? O an what happened to the slow and unfit group...The thread was running on last week monday, when I got back on friday it was gone???

Does anyone have aerial photos or gps maps of the routes?

I started riding at age 5-6 on a Green back-brake bmx.....I loved that bike, then my dad drove over it by mistake..... :-(

@ Richard Best - I haven`t ridden since doing the Northerns quickie 22km in March/April 2012 so I am very unfit. 40 km on the 09 august 2012 i think is a little out my league but i will make that decision next week. @ greenbean - It would just be me joining you guys if you willing to put up with my lard arse tailing your group. My average speed might be abit slow due to the above reason, I might struggle with a 20km but I am willing to do it. Let me know if the invitation still stands. Thanks chaps for the responses.

Thanks Slowbee Muchly appreciated...

Hahaha what a chop I am.... Thanks Green bean I meant August. What time do you ladys/gents leave and how far do you ride? I am abit unfit at the moment and need to get back into cycling. How do i change the topic heading??

Good day all Anyone interested in joining me for a noobish 12-15km mtb at northerns on Saturday morning round about half 8ish?

What's the cost for parking? Month end and abit broke. Plus my light broke, can I still join lightless?

Ok I will be there like bear with my R150.00 head as my ordered helmut is only landing next month. Will most likely be chasing from the back as I am so cycling unfit its not even funny. See you Ladys and Gentlemen on friday night. Hopefully someone has a radio for us so we can listen to the Sharks vs pink bulls rugby game while we cyclye....

@ Skidd - Thanks for the reply. Sorry for Noob question.

Stupid question - What are the general rules of joining this ride an the basics to bring other then you choice of ride. ie. Helmuts(are they a must for a slow casual ride), lights? Anything else?

Heya Domestique. I am in the process of twisting my landlords arm into joining for the ride. Will give you a shout if it does pull through. Thanks for the assistance.

Hi there. I am keen to join the next ride on the 24th February 2012, is there anyone attending the ride driving from bedfordview side that would possible assist me an my bicycle with a lift too and from the event?

Thanks all for the help. Sorry for hi-jacking the thread abit.

@ El Dodgius Bastardo I do not want to pay a arm an a leg for club fees as I just need the club membership to get my CSA membership. The next question is If i do MTB events is it ok just to just have the CSA membership or do I need the CSA Membership and the Race license?
