Slow & Funfit - Fountains/Groenkloof - 10 Nov

[RockCoach]

Eish... Eish... Eish... What a group. I think we should make the meeting at 6am again just to thin it out a bit .

 

SIR M. There is a very good chance that Mtb_Dude will join us. In that case we will not only have another super skilled rider but a super hyper mega fast one too.

 

We will have to split up into groups on the day - possibly according to abilities...

I'm so sad I'm going to miss this one, because last time I was at Groenkloof there were a lot of bits I walked and would've loved someone to show me what to do! I really hope this is not going to be the last Groenkloof ride?!

[DR ◣◢]

Unless Groenkloof closes down, it will definitely not be the last one.

[Pants Boy]

Eish!!! Where did he wipe

That last river crossing next to Botha ave, almost at the gate - you know that lekker steep one with the broken bottles at the bottom? He ran out of luck and got his front wheel stuck in a rut halfway down. Came down heavy on head and shoulder, very very very lucky not to have broken anything.

I haven't developed any super hero abilities yet, but I'm working on the ability to use gestures on my macbook touchpad with my left hand. It's pretty intense, so if I master it between now and saturday, I'll let you know so you can group me accordingly

[Witkop]

Brewers at six it is then Lemme rustle up the posse and see if they're keen, I'll be there either way. We'll go up to Soutpansberg, then Kilnerton, Church, Jan Shoba, Brooklyn, then up to the top somewhere in Waterkloof (crown or premier, can't remember but they're dirty skanks, the both of them), up Aries(I think) to Johann Rissik and then some Klapperkop track - we'll check how much legs are time is left by then

sounds good, but maybe we do Sidney to Klapperkop and then the single track down to the bottom gate.

I know that section well,there is a concrete slab at the bottom and if you don't lean back and pop the front you a goner.

 

I wonder how many riders have left there stamp in that sand

Coll, we'll do a legcheck before hitting that bastid

Problem is he dumped it OTB almost at the top, so he came down IN the rocks

Yes you do have superhero abilities. You are likely to be the only one to attempt that gap at Fountains.

[Revel]

see you all on Sunday looking forward to meeting you guys

OK. I'm now getting cofussed! Where do the slow, unfit and unskilled riders meet, and at what time, and are there, in fact, any slow, unfit, and unskilled riders, apart from me??

Groenkloof parking lot. The majority will be slow, unskilled riders. Actually I'm glad there will be a good number of experienced guys attending to assist.

[RockCoach]

It's time to make a trip out to Fountains and Groenkloof trails. Some nice technical riding to be done and we can do a nice distance also. Nothing too hectic and should be fine for all riders with a bit of skill

 

Venue: Fountains / Groenkloof

Time: 07:00

Distance: TBC

[DR ◣◢]

I cater for people with split personalities. He insisted that he didn't want to stand next to himself at the ride.
