I know that there's a long ride that mtb people do out the back of Durbanville, mostly on gravel - 80 or 90kms worth. Does anyone have the route? I know it's been discussed on the hub before, but don't even know what to search for! Would like to do a long route over the long weekend.
I am one of those short people. I can get a compact 48cm, a 50cm or a 51cm to fit by changing saddle position and stem (without messing up riding position), but as soon as I get a 52cm bike, it feels too big. And there is nothing you can do to make the distance from the seat post to the headset shorter! Just doesn't fit.
phpBB or myBB. Both free open source forum software packages. I have just set up a forum on a website using myBB - seems to work okay and wasn't TOO hard to set up - and I am not a technical person.
We are not against men riding with us, but many men simply get frustrated and irritated when they have to ride at our speed. We are not trying to conquer the world... we want to enjoy our cycling. The reason we want company is because we DO realise the dangers of cycling alone. We also keep to areas that we know are relatively safe. You're welcome to join us if you're not going to get irritated! Meerendal at 08:30 tomorrow morning if you want to join us!
Hi, there are three of us girls who have just started riding together during the week. We are all quite close to the Majik Forest / Meerendal area. I'm keen to ride with you. Also doing Karoo to Coast ... tried it last year, but I bailed and didn't finish. This year, I want to finish. I'll PM you my e-mail address.
I know of a Group Finance Manager position available in Houghton, JHB. Contract position: 3 - 6 months. Big reputable company. CA required to manage the accounting department. PM me if you're interested and I will get you details.
There's a Litespeed Sewanee for sale here: Sewanee It doesn't look like it has a 'dent' in the frame where your frame has a dent. Maybe yours got its dent post production, which is why they think its had a heavy impact?
My husband picked up a watch near the start of the ride, along Ou Wapad. Unfortunately he forgot to give it in at the end of the race, so its now in Cape Town. If you lost a watch, drop me a pm and describe it.
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.
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.
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.
