Recommended Posts

Posted

I think so. I got separated from my mates who i was riding with and they seemed to enjoy it, and didn't find the route i went on. haha

 

Check the yellow marker, I think i was somewhere either on that path, ended up doing about 20km or so.

yep...top of Wendell's revenge. Not going there for the Olympic Footwear 24hour

Route last year was do-able for all levels, the twisty bits i found myself hugging almost every tree on a bend, trees might look fragile but i came off second best when i shoulder charged them.

 

Adds to the experience and looking forward to it http://1.1.1.2/bmi/cdn.bikehub.co.za/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/thumbup1.gif

looking forward to seeing you again..riding solo??

Doubt it, but maybe we can arrange for him to bring his pom poms and a cooler box tongue.png

 

Barbie please don't make us do 20 Mexican waves before we get a smile out of you this year... We know that riding solo is painful. That is why we don't do it...

I’m sitting here. behind my desk.. looking very busy doing stuff at work..... but all I can think about is the ride the weekend, the twists and turns through the forest section, speeding through down the concrete section, riding the flat section towards vlei side of things . and crossing that line repeatedly.... changing over and letting my team have their turn before going it again.. doing the midnight ride... possibly starker’s. .. and maybe if I’m lucky like last year doing the dawn and dusk rides again.

the wind in my hair, and my tires eating up the miles as we have fun.

 

the socializing that will happen and the competiveness we all know will happen, even when we say we JUST going to have fun.

 

too all the boys and girls joining me .. lets have a blast and a party...

That is the REALLY difficult section, White i think, apparently riddled with warning signs...
