Schwinn Moab 2008 seems to have the best components.

Keen to join a ride Wed, Thurs, or Fri next week if one is planned. Any time. Have commitments on Mon and Tuesdays.

Hi David. I'm keen to join you, but this Thursday is out for me ... got plumbers doing work here. Can I contact you for next week?

Come on, Covie (and anyone else who thinks the pace will be too much for them) ... I can almost guarantee that I will be behind you (again). I was last in the 'slow' group last week. I needed the 'short cut' home, though. Wouldn't have made the long route home.

Hi Johan, I'm keen if your average speed is closer to 25! I also do mountain biking, so keen on that, too! I also posted a reply to this post: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/79787-morning-training-rides-cape-town-northen/

Please let me know when you ladies ride in the northern suburbs. I'm also a girl ... and sometimes not too keen to be out on my own. I live very close to Majik (and Meerendal, Hillcrest, Contermanskloof). Plenty to ride around here.

This sounds really nice, but I can't make this weekend. Please let us know when you do something like this again.

I'm keen, but I may be a bit slow for you men. 20 to 24 average is okay for me; anything above that and my heart may explode (although I could be a real girl and sit on your tails the whole way!). I can't do Mon or Tues mornings, but Wed, Thurs, Fri is okay.

What pace?

Here's a map from a Koeberg brochure.

Rode for the first time last night, and it was magic. What a wonderful night. I was bravely bringing up the rear on the 'slow' ride, and we had a vehicle behind us all the way. Thanks for all the effort you put into this, Chris.

Hello HenryV, I'd love to do some rides. Please let me know when you're doing your next rides, and I'll see if I can join you. I've ridden Majik and Meerendal, but haven't done Hillcrest or Contermans yet. I also live close to Majik, in Welgedacht, so I'm happy to ride from Majik.

Not to hijack the topic, but how much 'play' is there in sizing? How much can you tweak to make a bike fit? I find I am between two sizes (50 and 52), depending on the make of bike.

I can do vinyl-cut stickers. PM me with what you need and I'll give you a quote. I'm in Durbanville.

I would also join if there was a slower group.

Hi leet22, I work from home, so can generally ride any time I like, outside of a couple of commitments on Mon and Tues am. Lately I have gone to Meerendal around 3:30pm and ridden the longer route in the afternoon sun. Don't worry about fitness ... mine is not terribly good, which is why I want to ride a couple of times during the week and not just at weekends. Whoever is stronger just rides up the hill faster and waits a couple of minutes. I'd like to ride Meerendal Thurs or Friday this week.

Hi, any slow-average cyclists looking for someone to ride with (road or mtb) during the week? Durbanville area - could do Majik, Meerendal, Hillcrest, etc or a road ride in the area.

If the two bikes have comparable specs, I'd go Scott for sure.

I love the Ride Before You Buy sessions. You get to try bikes you couldn't try otherwise. And I chose my dual suspension based on a ride at a Ride Before You Buy session... so the manufacturers can score, too.

Hey Onetime, you still keen on riding? Await details of ride. Desi

Hi Karl, Consider joining the Tygerberg MTB club (check their website). They maintain the trails in Majik, Hillcrest, Contermanskloof and Meerendal, and there are always members who know the trails willing to show them to you. The also do group rides quite often. We also live right next to Majik, and ride as often as we can - you're welcome to join us. My husband is strong and quite fast; I'm slow. We're probably doing a 60km ride on gravel roads this weekend. Just waiting on details of day and time.

Great! We have no rides planned for the weekend yet, so whichever day suits you best. We normally try to get out early(ish) in the morning, but can fit in with you. Just let me have details of where to meet (Cape Garden Centre?), day and time. There are two of us to start, and we may get some more to join in. Desi

Hi, is there anyone who knows the Leeuwendans - Eensaamheid route who is keen to do it this weekend with some slow riders? Or can anyone give me a map/google route of the ride? Thanks.

Hi Roer, What pace do you call 'slow to medium', and how far do you ride? I assume this is road bike?

I've tried this weight issue on my husband. I need a lighter bike, I tell him. You need a lighter stomach, he tells me.
