9 August - Women's Day Hub Ride

[RockCoach]

Morning bump.

 

Thus far we have 8 confirmed riders.

 

Is the distance of 40km putting people off?

 

Does that include the two ladies I am bringing?

[DR ◣◢]

That would make 10 then.

 

To the guys and girls wondering there will be full support for any mechanicals on the trail etc. Nobody has to worry and nobody gets left behind.

 

There are a few bail out point along the course should you not feel up to the distance.

I have my permission slip signed and sealed..........I am there.

It shouldnt, coz i've only been riding for a month now and most i've ever done was about 16km and I'm going!!!

 

That's also about the most I have done as well.

Could be the case, cos imho any newbie should kill for this ride in view of the experience to be gained, however non response.

Most I have ever done is 32 km and on the day of this event I plan on doing 80km . Bomb shell of note

That might not be such a wise move. But anyway... since it is an out and back loop you always have the option of bailing out at any point. We are taking a slow ride down from my place to Paulshof, so you can join us if you want to. You have my address and cel

That is exactly what I was thInking. If after the 40 km's I want to bow out I will have the option. But will see how I feel on thursday. But for me it is very much a mind over matter issue for me. I have got very comfortable doing 30kms so I just need to look at extending the route and start doing longer distance.

Longer distance is good but don't try and increase distance by more than 10 - 15%. And when you do up the T.I.T.S make sure it is at a comfortable pace.

Ok I am in, bringing Grumpy! We both sort of newbies with no serious technical riding done.

 

Looking forward to the assistance and guidance from the wise ones!

Sounds good I'll see how the weekend goes with riding and make a decision from there

[RockCoach]

Good to see the numbers growing slowly and some faces I know too.
