BLACKvoodoo Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 But like I said there are some quick guys and some slower guys, Don't worry about the fitness level half the group will go as fast as the first bunch and the other half will go as slow as the last person. Very social
HDW Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 60km usually around 2 hours Just kidding we start riding at 6 and usually get home around 8:30pm so depending on the pace the k's can vary between 40-55 60km - -> 2 hours... sounds about right All in all, sounds awesome. What route do you guys normally take? Thank you very much for answering all my newbie questions!
Andro Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Depends how we feel, we decide.. but on the out skirts of Durbanville, farm roads. Join us on Sunday morning, Distance in 90km region. We (I'm) are still waiting for exact detail.
BLACKvoodoo Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Don't worry I'm also a newbie to the group, if you scroll back a few posts the route has been posted a few times with some variations depending on the night.

HDW Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Thanks to all of you for the info! I'll be skipping this weekend (riding new Zevenwacht with friends after church on Sunday - the new route is highly recommended!!) But if I manage to find a decent light over the weekend I might join the next nigh ride
Wannabe Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 Not joining you guys tonite. Off to Kimberley to go and hunt Gemsbok (on behalf of somebody else, the whole trip is paid for me)You must enjoy your ride.
Carmichael Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Wannabe my liking in jou het nounet minder geraak... so jaloers... My jagtrip kom eers oor 2 weke
HDW Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 You guys aren't aware of a decent second hand light someone wants to sell?
Andro Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Just saw Magic shine 400 on classifieds for R650, brand new. Dont know how much you want to pay and what type of light you want?
HDW Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 i saw this one as well: https://www.bikehub.co.za/index.php?app=hubmarket&do=view_item&item_id=20314 Not too sure how much I need to pay for something decent? Have you maybe got some suggestions? My budget is a little tight at the moment, seeing as I made someupgrades to my bike recently!
Andro Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 I think those lights are fine, dont know where you want to ride, 400 Lums will be ok for road use and maybe some gravel, in single track you may require more, personal prev...., they are rechargeable and I think well priced, give them a call, and get info on their other models. Remember... You get what you pay for...
HDW Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 That is what I'm thinking about... maybe wait a month or 2 and just buy something around R1500 - R2000? Is Magicshine the brand you want to go for?
Andro Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 I think so, no pro on it (and I dont own a decent light yet...), but i think you should look at about 1000 to 1200 lum, they go for about R950 upwards.
Wannabe Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 Wannabe my liking in jou het nounet minder geraak... so jaloers... My jagtrip kom eers oor 2 weke My gelukkie, ou Frikkie.
