Slow & Funfit - Fountains/Groenkloof - 10 Nov

[patches]

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.

 

yeah, I don't pedal too good. I also don't know how to fix punctures. So these experienced guys must stay close to help me with stuff like that

Me too. My back tends to play up quite a bit during puncher repair time.

Good point. Can these experienced guys cycle with one hand on their handlebars and one hand pushing me up the hills?

I would... but alas it is very tight single track. Sorry.

Yeah. But when tubeless goes wrong it is much more of problem than a mere puncture.

Agreed! Hope it never happens

[Pants Boy]

oooh!!! damn that's gotta hurt

From his VleisBoek this morning: "Betadine, brufen, surgical plaster. At least my bike is ok."

Wattaman, even if he's as slow as James May.

I see that RudoJ is attending twice. Or is he going to ride two bikes?

Hey, what can I say, i you're good, you're good!! Maybe I should ride solo on a tandem?

I wondered why your 6.6 felt so hard.

Only if you sit at the back. Then we'll see how good you are.

 

[RudoJ]

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

You, sir, are kind indeed.

I had a major wipeout earlier this year just before that downhill along the fence ,lost alot of skin,still got the scars to prove it.So I definitely know what he is feeling.

No witty or even remotely funny reply to that one.I guess every group needs a mascot, seems like there is a place for people like me after all...

There are a few places along there where you can get it very wrong even if you're a good rider. I followed one of the better trail riders down there and he had a spectacular off in front of me. Of course we were going pretty quickly.
