Cruzer

DEPECHE MODE does it for me. Also I PVR'd the entire Tour this year and like to watch while I pedal.

This can be arranged

NICE!! I often hear the people from the North commenting that they have better hills than us

Looks like there will be no problem getting Hubbers to join in, all we need is a firm date then?

What about the day before 94.7? If we keep the pace slow and the distance reasonable (as it was last time)it would be a good leg stretcher ride before the race? Only problem is that the likes of Emotion cycling,Thule and the like will have their hands full at the 94.7 expo.

If the frame can be brought to Lexus The Glen (approx 5km from Alberton) Next to the Glen Shopping Centre I will gladly help.

Yep it was areally cool ride! Gleneagles is the Aerea given to the space between Camoro rd and Glenanda North. Lexus is next to the Glen shopping centre, nest to the Toyota Dealership, Rand Stadium Toyota. I recon we rope in some more sponsors this time, I am thinking of people winning Carbon Wheels and other otherwise expensive goodies supplied by the companies that feed off cycling in general. I know that Sign up will get involved and that it wont be a problem to organise Marshals either. My only question is when?

Does anyone remember the HUB Ride done from The Merc Dealership in Midrand about 2 years ago? I was instrumental in putting it together and would like to do the same from the LEXUS Dealership in Gleneagles (JHB South). At Merc we had a nice display from Emotion cycles and Thule who also joined the ride, we had a turn out of about 40 to 50 Hubbers and enjoyed our 60 odd km social ride out to PTA and back to find that Merc had laid out some refreshments (food), coffee, Tea and even a few beers!! The morning was topped off with one lucky Hubber winning a CLK Cabrio for the weekend! I say we do this again, LEXUS is fully on board and once again one lucky Hubber will win a weekend in a super stylish Cabriolet! What do you think?

Any one out there keen to do a loop of the reserve tomorrow morning? We will be gong in at 07:00 sharp.

Hi Stretched@Birth I know a route via Alberton up Heidelberg rd right to Rocherville over the m2 into kensington up and over to Louis Botha ave into Old JHB rd (you would turn off into Marlboro dr)and on to Midrand. I have driven the route a few times to try and suss it out - seems rather dangerous with Taxis on Louis Botha and Trucks in Rosherville(ESCOM)and on the old JHB rd all in all it would be a 52 km for me. I agree that when Gautrain comes on line it will mean the possibility of riding to town and then taking the train which will be awsome - My Brother could join us as he works at Wits most days so he would ride with us to town. I would probably ride the train all the way to Midrand though. Anyone else out there traveling from S to N?

I would really like to ride to work, my distance would be closer to 50k's one way using back roads. I would not like to try this out on my own, I would hope to get a small bunch together, wishfull thinking I know. I would ride from the South to midrand, anybody out there with similar aspirations? Training and commuting done all in one fowl swoop. Do you think they will allow bikes onto the Gautrain??

That is a really good idea, this is what I mean, we need the marketing people out there to see the value of exposing their businesses to new prospectve customers. If any deals are done on the ride we can call them "Deals on Wheels"

At suiker you go up slow and down fast......

We dont have to do Suikerboss any safe training ground would suffice.....

SO is this going to happen? My Boss is keen, the more people our business is exposed to the better!!
