Wednesday Morning Table Mountain Ride

[kandui]

Start is at the top of Vredehoek. Finish is in Lower Gardens, if you come for coffee in Roodehek Street.

Park low and you have to cycle up to the start. Park high and you have to ride up to your car after coffee.

 

We start at 6:30 am and we finish round about 7:45. Finish is at Deluxe Coffeeworks in Roodehek Str.

 

I suggest you park near the Gardens Centre .

Kewl thanx, I think I'll park at wembley square and shower at the gym when I'm done.

For the directionally challenged like myself, could you confirm if I'm right, last thing I want to do is get lost

From Wembley Square, up Maynard Street, feft into Upper Mill St continue to Derry Street and left into Chelmsford rd - meeting at the end of Chelmsford road?

A good reference point is the Spar in Vredehoek, do you know it?

keep going up that road past the Spar take second left into Chelsform, group waits there from 06h20 till about 06h??

Yep I know it, see you guys then, I'll be on a black and red momsen.

[Roadpilot]

what is the skill/fitness level needed for the ride? and do you do weekend rides?

[kandui]

All skill levels, literally.

No weekend rides, too difficult to organise.

[Sidmouth]

if you are not fit, just hang with me at the back, the company would be nice

[Die Gemaskerde Sopbeen]

Got serious FOMO and missing the mountain. I will be back next week.

Skill levels very varied from really timid to crazy

 

Fitness levels need to be fair that we do not have to wait forever for the last rider to ascend.....

Nice to meet all of you this morning, I had a blast, thanx again.

I need to seriously work on my climbing ability though - another reason why I joined you guys.

Coffee was indeed good after the ride. Heres to joining you guys on many more.

[Sidmouth]

The only official ride is on Wednesday mornings, but there are several other rides organised by Table Mountain Bikers. We do, however tend to call rides left right and center as we please, so best to get a Cell. number to Hairy legs so he can ad you to the watsap group when you're here. Fitness? What's that? Haha, as long as you can climb about 500m without stopping and pushing and or passing out, you should be fine.

Tomorrow's ride will be in a different direction. We meet at Truth (Prestwich Memorial) @ 6:10 and head up SIgnal Hill for some SE shelter.

[JeremyCPT]

Tomorrow 4th Dec. I am coming from the Rhodes mem side. will meet you at the Y junction at 6h45.

[Hairy]

I am in for tomorrow and we are doing the classic route from Chelmsford road to meet the riff raff from the Rhodes Mem side at the split .... Jeremy ... see if you can drag that other chap from your office along please.
