Hi uni, I def will be joining you soon - just got back from CPT. maybe next weekend. I will lookout for the messages on whatsapp..

thanks little fish - will try make that one.

thanks Little Fish. Going to try treadskills after a few more rides, would love to learn the skills, i think its a must.

I'm Not sure if this is a wise suggestion since we are both new - but when my brother rides with me he puts weights in his Camelbak. he Also rides on a much higher gear uphill - then, he either waits for me or rides back to me. :-/

Thanks Blue angel. I am doing just that and loving it

thanks - i am having a look at www.jmbc.org.za as well. looks good!

THANK YOU all for your tips. I've learnt so much from this thread! I am so excited / I feel like a kid again

thanks Maxxis. Who is Slick? is that the same person from http://www.treadskills.co.za

thanks for this info - hopefully I will find my cycling legs within a reasonable time

Hi Uni, i also thought i was going to die on my first ride - i felt sick trying to keep up with my group. I also walked a lot of it LOL. I would love to join you sometime. I will inbox my number to you and we can discuss on whatsapp if thats ok. thanks a mil

I just had a look at your link Larry - looks awesome. I will contact them. Thank you!

thanks, I'm going to give northern farm a bash and cycle lab. I think I will replace my cardio which i do during the week at gym with spinning! Hopefully this will help me.

where is the Spruit? sorry for sounding clueless

Cycle lab sounds like a great idea, thanks I didn't think of something like that, thanks for the idea. I have been to Modderfontein Reserve the past two weekends, once with a lovely group of people who have been riding for a while, they did the Red route, I had no choice but to do green as I couldn't keep up my supportive friend patiently joined me, i felt terrible that i was so slow and out of breathe on a simple climb lol.

thank you Uni
