Pulling out of the Hill2Hill 45km

[Stuart Queripel]

Woke up this morning to pouring rain in Durban. It's been raining on and off since yesterday... So Bleak! Not worth stuffing up the bike, risking injury and slogging through mud for 4 hours....

 

Or am I just wearing pink underwear?

Stuffing up the bike? Do you carry your bike whe it gets bumpy not to "stuff up the shocks" and do you cling wrap the frame because it might get dirty? Dude, go to the fridge and get a can of HTFU - that's what all he fun is about. Now leave me alone, let me turn around and re-adjust that down duvet.

Waaah, my logic tells me that the second half are more sandy soils which get wet and soft but aren't that muddy and slippery . Big pluses - no dust, no dehydration (yeah right!).

 

The first half is the despicable Midlands and Hilton slippery snot infested with horrible round boulders. Causes you to fall off then stays stuck on the bike wheels. You wuss, you.

 

Ahem, I'm not riding and bleddy glad too.

Get the hell up. You're gonna be late. Its only half way anyway.

[Stuart Queripel]

Appropriate that they calling the batches "waves" now... You could surf the trails today...

[Benjamin]

So are you at the start?

So are you at the start?

 

No I'm in my bed.. Can't get this nighty off...

[Benjamin]

If you don't go then you have to come ride tomorrow.

All I can say is that the okes riding this weekend are going to **** bricks, the mud out there is going to be insane, much fun to be had!

[King_Crispy]

Pansy.

 

Think I would also paff out though.....

There's a limit as to how much fun can be had in the mud

You can always watch the hilights in 3 weeks on tv

"Hill2Hill" and "45km" should never be used in the same sentence.

 

Probably a good thing you not riding then. You'll feel guilty wearing the T shirt after the... erm... 45km 2Hill...

 

So tomorrow, trade in the nighty for some kit, get on the bike and start training to ride the first 60km too next year. Despite the weather.

The SS would probably be the better option, maintenance wise... Not sure 'leg' wise!

Spending couple of grand replacing bb, wheels bearings, cassette, and chain made me realise how expensive it can be to htfu and ride in the mud & rain sometimes.
