CHeers HeMan!

Sorry - didn;t see the other thread. I've missed entering so I'll just go in the afternoon for a jolly :-)

Sorry yes, Sunday! duh. I barely know what month it is at the moment - let alone the day :-(

The Northern Quickie? B.

I didn't have any bad luck and I really enjoyed the ride, which I did at my GF's pace as it was her first time. I feel guilty now for being so happy . . . . . . . :-(

Cheers mate!

The guys in Midrand are very good. They've helped me out a couple of times at short notice with batteries, missing screws and stuck buttons etc, but then I've always actually gone there and asked - because it's local for me. I appreciate that not evryone can do that.

I was there. I am a Leg-end in my own living room! :-)

Can't see the event in facebook? Looking forward to it though. B.

Humbling. Edit: Some examples on here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=_UVufSdVBt4

Just been to the Spar for food for the trip! Packet of 20 pink fizzers, Liquorice Allsorts, Mint Imperials, Romany Creams, Lemon Creams, 2L Coke, a 6pack bag of mini cheddars & a bag of bananas . . . . :-) Should keep me awake . . . all weekend!!! lol

But maybe on the back of a Tandem? B.

I might do that then - watch the finish and just start with a later group. my GF isn't as fast as me and we'll be riding at her pace - so we're gonna be on the road most of the day anyway ;-)

we are starting at 8:18. First time for both of us. Looking forward to it immensely :-) I'm not sure of the layout of the start/finish areas or how close to each other they are, but is it likely to be possible for us to watch the leaders finish before my 8:18 start? B.

GF and I are leaving at around midnight tonight and hoping to arrive late afternoon Friday. I've never been to CT before so we're gonna take it easy, stop plenty and enjoying the drive :-) Might have to stop for forty winks at services somewhere too. Good luck to everyone!

Possibly. Any idea what is weighs? Just thinking of the fuel.

I've seen roadies ride like this, and I've seen MTB riders at Northern Farm ride towards me on both sides of a double trail. My GF had a nasty crash there when a double brest riding group of 10 or 12 came towards her and only "kept left" at the last minute. Sadly the dozy sap at the back didn't see the others moving over and was still on her side when they collided. She had slowed right down (but shouldn't have had to). She ended up with some nasty bruises and a damaged bike.

I'm still ramping up! Due to unforseen circumstances, training took a hit and the Argus will now be a "training ride" as part of my plan for end of year greatness . . . . allegedly. B.

Well done to Robbie! I've seen him in Europe at several T de F's. Always a big effort :-)

Lots of groups, formal and informal, riding out at the Cradle on Sats and Suns - which is an undulating circuit allowing you to work as hard or easy as you like.

Excellent music choice!

I'll be there :-)

We must all get together sometime! I'm not too quick myself :-( today was a bit windy in places and a 26km/h average.

I rode pretty much alone, between 10 and 12. I thought it was fairly safe there?

DId a 61km circuit. Slightly overcast - so great riding conditions! Really enjoyed it. Will be going there again as soon as we get back from the coast next week. B.
