I'd just like to say thanks to all the Goldfields dudes who kindly allowed us to ride with them on Saturday. Darryl, A special thanks for letting us use you parking space Hope you are feeling a bit better. Thank you all for putting up with us slow-pokes. It was an awesome ride.

just warning you now: don't get between me and the beer! LOL, Holy, Me knows way better than to interfere with a man and his dop... Even if said man is in a mauve scarf thingy. Your beer'll be safe... Unless of course it is Windhoek, then i make zero promises.

I'm looking for a wife to bring... Any one brave enough? question is....are YOU brave enough?? Nope not really. and I'd better be VERY careful as I'm bringing Maxine Fiance') with me lLOL.

Thanks Mandibles. I will be more than happy to help with the braai... 1 Great way to meet everyone is to be near the FOOD AND BEER thanking you in advance for the introductions Looking forward to meeting you.

Quick question regarding this ride? How many strangers will there be? As it is i will know only Hog_ and the folks joining me. But i am looking forward to meeting everyone... Oh and even though i am English, I CAN BRAAI :) Saffer2009-02-06 05:06:42

KILLER WHEELS DUDE....

As with all riders there is a steep learning curve. I would like to admit my idiocy and say that I was fortunate enough this Saturday to have one of "THOSE" lessons on the bike. The lesson in question is: Always make sure you have spares and tools when riding. I have yet to have a puncture on a ride so thought precious little of such items as spare tubes, pump, tool kit etc.. Anyway, to cut a short story long, a friend and I went to Northern's on Saturday morning for a short ride. about 3 km in, Andrew had a monster blow out. There was a spare in his saddle bag but it was so old that the folded edges had perished. We were stuck and deciced to walk the 3km back. During our short walk (about 300m) at least 20 riders stopped to offer help. Not 2 minutes later a kind dude by the name of Mark (opel corsa bakkie with a NP plate) stopped and gave us his puncture repair kit, pump and tyre levers. This was awesome... Thanks Mark. (hope you got them back) and a few minutes after that another dude stopped and offered us a spare tube. this did not fit but the thought was there. About 2 minutes after that a pair of awesome ladies stopped that happened to have a tube that fit. I did not get your names but thank you very much indeed. I would be more than happy to meet up and pay for the tube if you read this. The overall willingness to help by almost all riders on Saturday was fantastic and just reinforced why I love the riders and the sport so much. MTB riders rule....

Awesome, thanks Mandibles... we been looking for something outta the city for a while. Wanted to take a weekend away an all. Thanks again.

Cause its like sooooo the Cape Town thing to do bru sorry forgot to mention it's for someone who is originally from CPT' date=' but who is now currently located in Fourways JHB. She was thinking about joining up with Cyclelab, but I told her I'd find out from any hubbers first before she makes a decision. [/quote'] Hey Ishy. there are a few of us that are um what do the hubbers call us... oh yes, thats it "WEEKEND WARRIORS" and are not part of any club as such but if your friend is looking for riding partners (MTB) you are welcome to pm me and i'll give you our contact details, she is more than welcome to join us for some ride and stuff. Would be nice to meet new people.
