Why was this race canceled. I already entered and spent the money. What now?

Anyone for a lift to De Wildt this weekend for the race?

Seems like you guys want to join

@Andymann, I do not have indoor equipment at the moment. I look like slick layered idiot and is braving the elements. I want a road bike but my pregnant wife will lock me out after the first ride if I spend more money on cycling...lol But I will contact you maybe following you guys for just a few kilometers might just help me improve my average. I sometimes do this by chasing some of the roadies from a distance.

@Orbit. Hi I stay in Monument park and from me the best would be if I ride past Brooklyn mall and into Jan Shoba / Duncan street. I am sure we will be able to hook up there round about 05:00. We will be able to cover the area around Brooklyn, Groenkloof, Hatfield and Klapperkop. Depending where we part I need 15 to 30 mins to get home at 06:30. I normally start 04:30. As I mentioned my goal is to ride two hours in total at +- 25km/h depending on terrain. Going faster on my MTB is a challenge for me at this stage. On weekends Saturdays are the best but Sundays are not imposible. I am Normally flexible but it is better to start sometimes in the morning as as the risk of being tempted to have a beer or too much to eat is eliminated.

Ok, I had one ride through this topic with someone on Saturday. I will keep this thread alive for some time to see if I can bring together a few Pretorian lonesome riders to form a pool of riders that can get to know each other and go for rides. At this stage I do not think this will turn into a regular group ride wit set time. If interested contact me or post to the thread. I went riding with someone not at the same pace as myself and did not mind at all. Alex

Hi I am looking for people to ride with in Pretoria, especially the east. During the week I usually start 04:30 or 05:00 and ride 2 hours or 1.5 hours until 06:30. Weekends I usually try to ride for 4 or 5 hours on Saturday or Sunday. Weekends I try to be adventurous in the routes I ride and during the week I stick to the road and it is all for training. I cycle on a Mountain Bike and on the road I try to maintain 25km/h. Alex

I'd really like to try it out. I've never been. Riding there from PTA is not an option. Where is a good place to Park my car and start?

Hi, Iive in Monument Park next to Groenkloof. I am also training for the monster. I ride 2 hours three times a week in the morning from 04:30. Weekends I do offroad and longer rides. I need to team up for safety and the social factor. alexander.lombard@gmail.com
