Breedts Nek Group Ride - Saturday 29 September 2012

[Tieffels]

Lots of MTbers with an appetite for super-extended long, hilly rides!

Dare I post the 90km route/profile?

 

Seriously? Up Breedts Nek? It ranks as my number 1 MTBing let down after hearing all these hardcore Jozi MTbers telling that is like THE place to do hill training for the epic Boet.. Once rode to the top 6 times (3 x per side), wanted to do 2000m climbing in a day. Think I might have gotten to 1300m, then wrote it of as a waste of time..

[Agteros]

Do it!

Yip! Need to carbo/mentally prepare!

Here goes (look at those devilish horns and ears on the profile!):

I am in for 68km on the SS.

 

Will probably add a few more people in the next few days.

[RossW]

I'm interested in the 90km

[Thug]

Going to have to skip this ride, will be in Winterton.

 

Fondly remember the last ride leaving Northcliff Corner at 4:30 in the morning to get to Nancy's place by 7

Not even close. My Sister -in- law's 40th birthday and we were booked a month ahead. If I pull out now, I must pack my stuff en somma pull out the house as well. My w.i.f.e WILL make me eat the mushrooms....

.....magic shrooms??

[FLYIT]

would love to join for this ride but it is the week before 3 Towers at Mankele.I made the mistake of riding breedts nek the week before Barberton this year and trust me I am not making that mistake again.

[MONS]

I might be brave and join (but guaranteed a spot at the back with slow and unfit.) 57km - will confirm beforehand!

[DR ◣◢]

Im slow and unfit. 57km at a slower pace sounds like a plan. Considering taking the SS.

That is precisely why I'm doing it. A swim or 3 during the week and I'll be ready for 3Towers.

[River Rat]

My apologies for the slight hijack but it would seem that there could be some takers from the 3 Towers entrants for this Sunday the 23rd. I have never done a breedts otherwise I would gladly organise a formal ride. Nonetheless my partner and I are definitely going anyone else keen to join?

[RockCoach]

I'm going to holding Thug's hand at the World Champs on that weekend. He follows me everywhere these days.
