Eldron Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 under closer insection of the top riders routes James R did not do the full loop !go look at his ride it starts at the grate and comes back down the one way , so yes then its possible to do 1h51 ( click on his time it will bring up his ride ) There is something fishy about all those times - when I ride the "cattle grate to cattle grate" loop it's 57.2km. The rides on strava vary between 52 and 54km... Some okes did double lappers and some were part of longer rides from outside the reserve... Time to head to SBR with my race legs on
TNT1 Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Time to head to SBR with my race legs on ****! Cancel my request for a lift then.
Eldron Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Yep, register on Strava and you get names and surnames Ahhhhhh.right. Pah - Strava is for posers, braggards and show offs* *because I'm not number 1 - if I was Strava would be for svelte individuals wanting to share their personal info for hundreds of adoring fans
Eldron Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 ****! Cancel my request for a lift then. Fret not olde chap - I've just peaked for SA duathlon champs - after 40km I'll jump off and start running...
TNT1 Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Fret not olde chap - I've just peaked for SA duathlon champs - after 40km I'll jump off and start running... Right now, I'd be more comfortable running the entire loop.
Eldron Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 is it safe to ride there alone? Riding there alone is the best way to ride - real soulful stuff. I've never felt unsafe - apart from the time that a few jackals tailed me! Interval training at it's most raw!! That said - keep your phone with you - never know when you're going to slash a tyre and not make it to the end. SBR is dead quiet during the week and quietish on the weekends - it's unlikely that someone will pass you unless you ride from 7am Sat or Sun.
Li Mu Bai Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 is it safe to ride there alone?yes, its quite safe. I ride there often alone midweek. You must be wary of oncoming traffic though, driving the wrong direction, some blind corners with the tall grass could leave you as a hood ornament on a staffbakkie. bad accidents there in the past. I have also accidentally ridden over a puff adder (shat myself) so try keep your concentration.

Time to head to SBR with my race legs on Reported the ride on Strava, with a long explanation w.r.t. to the SBR segment. He is still shown as the KOM on the side, but does not show on the list
Agteros Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 ****! Cancel my request for a lift then. A while ago you told the 'ub that you do not have a bicycle?
Iron Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 A while ago you told the 'ub that you do not have a bicycle? He did not say he was gonna ride a bike , he just asked for a lift . mmmmm perhaps gonna for a hike then TNT1
Iron Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Ahhhhhh.right. Pah - Strava is for posers, braggards and show offs* *because I'm not number 1 - if I was Strava would be for svelte individuals wanting to share their personal info for hundreds of adoring fans you only a poser if you get the whole of strava to follow you , otherwise keep it to yourself and dont share . Besides why you worried you will like smoke anyone at the moment .
Cyclewizz Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Ok, request for a lift again? Anyone? Just ride there, do the loop and then ride back !!! We know you can do it !!!!
