MONS Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Great ride yesterday and good to meet some more fellow Hubers.... Thanks Mons for all the encouragement up that little slope and then all the way back to Base. LITTLE slope?

MTBc Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 So is there going to be another ride on the 17th by any chance? (maybe a vehicle for a few beers on the top?) Or a SLOW Van Gaalen ride to the brerwery and back ? yeah, thanks all, thoroughly enjoyed it! An alternative: same ride as Sunday, but SLOW DOWN @ THE BREWERY! just saying. I've been scouting google earth, and it looks like there's a route back via Buffelspoort damn, just not sure of terrain, but would keen to see if that route as an option if anyone else is keen to? mons: 16th? 17th is a Monday, I'll be working
MTBc Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Good meeting everyone. Â agreed. Nice to meet hayleyearth for the first time. Â Here's the gist of that other route...Â

Agteros Posted December 10, 2012 Author Posted December 10, 2012 agreed. Nice to meet hayleyearth for the first time.  Here's the gist of that other route...  Nothing on the free, internet view of the Tracks4Africa map ... Only things like "entrance to resort" and "picnic spot" in that general area...http://tracks4africa.co.za/maps/africa/?zoom=9&lat=-25.8138&lon=27.50228&layers=B00FT

Nancy Drew Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 System shocks are a good thing I see a pattern of you taking my water, does it taste better than yours? It wasn't left overs. You took from the top of a full bottle I was sucking my CamelBak dry (not really...)Â Ok, ok...... so I took your water from a full bottle (clearly you weren't thirsty and didn't need it). Looking back, I don't even think I asked. How rude
