[Mr SingleTrack]

thumbs up to the Fournos guy providing the snacks before we departed, those were good cookies.

Confirmed for August CM ride so far:

Think Bike Marshalls to assist; Levi's is opening a pop-up store at Braamfontein to promote cycling and their commuter range of clothing, and the video shot by Lebo the psychotic hipster cameraman will be projected onto a big screen at the start

:clap: :clap:

Excellent. The wife was looking at their range online a few weeks ago. I think she has some questions for them.

Waiting for a formal quote but they were around R50 per metre depending on thickness.

So mr Slick did you get the official quote? Edited August 3, 2012 by BioMouse

yes....costs? I would also support a bulk purchase of these lights. Felt real odd with only my headlight at the last CM.....need more color and brightness.... :clap:

Quite a jol, but is it really a "CM" ride now? Marshalls, Levis etc ... Still fun to pitch up and ride though.

DD, I promise, this ride will NEVER be sponsored, official, regimented or restricted in any way, other than to keep the group together and to make sure nobody gets stranded. You know I won't let this get k*k. Levi's is opening a store in Braamfontein for 2 months, so that store will be open for 2 CM rides. Also, I met with the marshals and they understand the ethos of the ride, and they are there just to make sure we get back safely.

No, it seems they are out of stock of the battery packs. I'm sure we can get them elsewhere though?

We must be able to. My brother in law's gf works for a lighting company, I'm sure she would know were we can get. Will give her a call and let you guys know

It's a unit that holds a couple of AA batteries.

So the place you phoned has the lights just not the battery packs? If so how much is the lights per meter?

[MariusC]

Ok so how many AA batteries would it take to power a meter?

Probably. But you don't really need 10 cells to drive the lights. I will look around too...
