Thanks Spearo, you're a star!

I'll organise to get the CD of all pics from you and distribute amongst all participants (hmmm... how much do MyPicture charge for photos? You and I could be rich, RICH!)

Ok, now the last few pics as promissede earlier - meetings done for now.

Slowpoke after getting "Bit" by her chainring. I think it is a jealousy thing since she has a distinct passion for the road thing.... or could be that she has no practice in lying her bike down, since a roadie would never dare do that......anyway, she complained in true roadie styleWink

This is my new hero after Landis got bust sniffing glue or whatever. He had breakfast cooked, warm and waiting as we arrived......what a man!!!

The not so hungry riders arriving a little behind the starving riders

Someone sucking up to MichH? I wonder if this acceptable practice with roadies, sneaking water out of someone else's CamelBak........or maybe he was putting something back into the CamelBak - best we don't go there.....2006-08-15_115209_DSC00799.jpg

How many roadie MTBers does it take to get milk out of a cooler?

One?

2006-08-15_115417_DSC00801.jpg

Nope Two!....

How long does it take them to get this right?2006-08-15_115549_DSC00802.jpg

VERY - notice how far the shadows have moved in the next shot......

Another shot of my new heros

Nice pics Spearo!!!smiley32.gifsmiley32.gif smiley32.gif

And just for the record it's didn't take THAT long to get the milk out, the people moved hence the shadows moved. smiley2.gif

And the top of the milk came off in the bag, that's why we couldn't get it out. smiley9.gif

I didn't even see you take a picture there, shneaky, shneakysmiley36.gif

Getting to the end now....

Everyone being polite, waiting for the first person to start dishing up.....

Notice MichH counting to ensure everyone had made it back - well that's her story, I thought she was trying to work out if there was enough food for everyone........

2006-08-15_120040_DSC00804.jpg

The pilote thing never lasted very long.....everyone with a healthy breakfast plate full of food. Catering was done to perfection. The only time there was silence......well almost.....

2006-08-15_120115_DSC00805.jpg

The reason most men MTB......

SP on the right trying to look cool with a mouth full of food and a camera shoved in her face. You can see what MH thinks of the attempt (on the right)

2006-08-15_120454_DSC00807.jpg

Was told to re-take the pic, not sure if the first was meant to published though. (PS, you can rotate it yourself, this is very tedious)

2006-08-15_120654_DSC00808.jpg

"My Hero"   or  "What a twit"  you chooseBig Smile Notice the cool bike in the background.....a fine eye for quality.

2006-08-15_120815_DSC00809.jpg

It was the hero thing......how cute..... Notice the bike in the background - was that mentioned already - how cool is that, a piece of engineering excellence.

2006-08-15_121043_DSC00810.jpg

This is a Dirt Brain or Nutter - you can tell because it was the only time I got close enough to take a snap shot was when he was off his bike busy feeding. At least that proves they are human, only just. PS, the other person is trying to hold him down so I can get the shot - thanks for the help.

2006-08-15_121256_DSC00811.jpg

More of the Nutter clan. See what happens when they are off teh bike for more than 10min, they get all grumpy.....

2006-08-15_121608_DSC00812.jpg

more of the Nutters - at 15min, thinking of the next ride about to start

2006-08-15_121731_DSC00813.jpg

Cool, like only a MTB'er can be

2006-08-15_121826_DSC00814.jpg

Happy dude: Always with a smile

That concludes the last of the Pics. Comments are my own if you don't like them, please change them. If you didn't want your pic posted - oops, sorry. If you weren't in a pic, were you there? If you were, then ride with the group next time and stop showing off in front.

A special thanks to MichH and her Hubby and parents and to all those who chipped in. A fantastic day. As MichH said earlier she will distribute the CD for favoures like getting her bike washed, some gear for her new frame and such.

I work in JHB, so for those who are nearish, they can bring a blank CD for all the pics or a mem stick for just their own pic and those of the chicks......

And the top of the milk came off in the bag, that's why we couldn't get it out. smiley9.gif

that's the most excuses I have ever seen for not being able to get milk out a cooler....... and I walked off after each shot and came back and you were still busy - hence the sequence.....LOL

And here I thought MichH was such a sweet happy person when she rides, turns out that huge grin is because she is totally slammed when she rides...........
