2012 Burger Route Training Rides

[alsoran]

Awesome ride.

 

Wannabe thanks for organising the ride as well as baby sitting the very very social group with Onetime.

 

It was much appreciated guys.

[Wannabe]

Guys and Gals.

It was one fantastic ride. As said, weather was perfect, but the company was even better.

Thanks for being on your best behaviour, don't think one other road user could have pointed a finger of accusation at us.

Counted 24 peeps at the start, and at the Wellington stop it grew to 32 as we picked up other small groups. Some of them did fall of again towards the end.

Had a lekka brekkie at Mugg 'n Bean with a few other hubbers. (Onetime, I thought you gonna join us?)

 

Lastly, but not least, a very big THANK YOU to our Marshall, Stanley. He did a sterling job herding us along (did not know a Hyabusa can crawl along at 20km/h for long periods. STANLEY, YOUR'E THE MAN!!!!!! (Az, thanks for sending this Guardian Angel our way. Much appreciated.)

We did a collection at the end to cover at least some of Stanley's expenses and to thank him for his time, but he did not want to accept it. If he is our Marshall again on the 24th, I'll stick the money into his pocket, otherwise I'll get it to Az to give to him.

Thanks also to the guys who contributed.

Well done, Wannabe, for beating the drum.

The peloton looked lekka this morning.

 

It's the 1st time I see a Think Bike Marshall committed to a training ride.

Very cool.

BMC 79 Mile Challenge

 

Celebrate the 79th rainbow jersey with a 79 mile ride.

11/16/2012 — 11/18/2012

 

 

 

This September, 79th running of the UCI World Road Cycling Championships was won on a BMC teammachine SLR01.

 

To honor that huge accomplishment, BMC is challenging you to go out and complete a ride of 79 miles (or greater) in one day.

 

Pick your favorite long training ride, prep your bike, fill up some bottles, maybe even sport a little bit of Belgian red/yellow/black, and push yourself to make it happen!

 

Note: The Challenge is to complete a single ride of 79 miles (or greater) in one 24 hour period. You have a three day window to make this happen and can make multiple attempts. Manual entries will not count towards your Challenge effort, nor will trainer rides.

Athletes that complete the Challenge of riding 79 miles in one 24 hour period will receive a BMC 79 Mile Challenge finishers badge.

In conjunction with this Challenge, BMC is also giving away a 2012 BMC Pro Team jersey signed by members of the 2012 team.

Awesome day, awesome ride, awesome weather, awesome group that rode.... Thanx guys.... A big thanx to Stanley, the unselfish Bike Marshall that should get a huge reward for his time, effort, patience and petrol and didn't even want the collection we made for him.... Don't think there are many of him around these days....

 

Wannabe, thanx for organising such a perfect ride, to the group, thanx for your company and to all that had a chat with me, good to meet you guys and put a face to the name here on the hub....

 

Indian Road Runner, keep up the effort, we all started where you are, you will keep up with the group in time to come....

 

Thanx again, my day was made.....

 

 

Here's some pic's I managed to take....

Guys & gals that is a really awesome gesture but... Since MTN came on as a communication partner we have had a small budget to be able to offer our volunteer marshal services here & there.

I will make sure that Stan is reimbursed for his expenses from the MTN budget and if no-one has a problem with it, I would like you to donate your collection to http://www.thehubsa....anking-updated/
