    Given (a) my spectacular lack of fitness (and no amount of scooting up Helshoogte once a day is going to fix this in time), and (b) my totally undeserved good seeding, based on a short-ish MTB event, I've been forced to reconsider my position on the above. I'll gladly accept ANY help up ANY hill. Will it help if I put a sign with my Hub name and a big hand on my back? Large enough for any shorties to see, of course...

    Lovely as that pass is, it is simply NOT safe. Especially with the African Valley squatters in close proximity - which also rendered Bothmaskop unsafe. Going up you won't have enough speed to take evasive action, going down, a stick in spokes might be lethal. This road has lots of hiding places for those meaning harm, and hardly any overlooking or cars passing by. There's been many examples throughout the Cape Peninsula and elsewhere of attacks on cyclists and hikers who were attacked while out in a group. My opinion - just too risky.

    Same problem here - love the early start time, but will be waaaaaaay out of my league. My seeding also based on an outlier MTB event...

    Said friend should maybe have paid more attention to the teacher's words than to her bum, it seems...

    Can I send you a pic of my back so you know who to look out for for a push up Suikerbossie, please?

    They weren't joking about the thorns in the overflow parking area...this was literally putting one foot down out of the car...

    If she's on MTB - put it in granny and keep going. If on a road bike - take off the road shoes and walk it out on socks...

    If your theory holds, I'll be very happy with my start time (but perhaps way out of my depth!) O well, still way more scientifically accurate than any weather prediction at this time!

    Thanks Was hoping to get an idea of indexes along the 3ish starting groups... My aspirations are more modest - hoping to start before 8am this year!
  11. dannygirl
    Anybody got an idea how the indexes relate to the start groups? Roughly?

    So sorry to hear - ai, sad that we outlive our furry friends, and then at this time of year also...

    Also use Game - too sweet, so dilute approx 1/2 packet to 750ml water. Sometimes make it stronger on a longer ride if I know I'll fill up with water en route.

    Saw this on FB yesterday and am still laughing. I have a fisio friend who loves working with tape, and my first thoughts were: Jen, is this your work? Laughing again now as the 'husband' has been pointed out... But yes, kudos for making the journey!

    It's not a braai if you use coal - a real braai only uses wood. All others - coal, gas etc. - are mere barbecues.

    Looking at the pics, I notice many folk riding without gloves - this a roadie thing? Please excuse the MTBer ignorance...

    Was considering membership earlier this year, as I do the occasional night ride (work nearby), and venture out that way 4,5,6 times a year. Figured that I may put in some more effort if I purchased a membership. What swayed it for me, was learning that Welvanpas trails were also included in the membership (closer to home). However, between the steep price increase, and learning that Welvanpas is seemingly no longer included in the permit...well, Stellies has quite a bit lot of free routes on offer, so I figure I'd rather send a donation in the STF's direction...

    Can't we just all make peas?

    Lettuce leave it alone now...

    145 starters - how many are likely to finish? Any tandems in the bunch? How many hubbers on that list? So that we can know which dots to look out for...or would that be like identifying Die Muishond?
