BBN Posted January 14, 2013 Share After the success of last week, 23 riders, we better do it again! Plan to do the normal Spruit route via the top of Delta Park, up to and around Emmerentia and then on to Alberts Farm and back to Fratellis. Ride is +/- 28kms and will be a gentle, until dark of course when everyone seems to turn into speed freaks! Everyone welcome of course. 17.45 RIDE: meeting at Fratelli's, cnr Conrad & Hillcrest, Blairgowrie. Leaving 18.00 & returning around 20.00 for pizza and beer with anyone who wants to stay. Will be dark around 19.15 so bring lights. Look for me on the silver Pyga. Edited January 14, 2013 by BBN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andydude Posted January 14, 2013 Share Sounds good! Last time one guy didn't bring lights and had to leave for home with his friend half way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR ◣◢ Posted January 14, 2013 Share Im in. Can we add Delta Park also? Start the ride at 17:30 and add this extra bit in. Adds about 2km to the ride in total. Oh and maybe don't call these SLOW rides. They are getting closer to the intermediate mark. Last week was 28.4kmDistance271mElevation02:00:48Moving Time Edited January 14, 2013 by S.I.R Maxxis RockSpider85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking more something in the middle. The big climb up the side is not a great thing to do so early in the ride. Systems are nowhere near warmed up. We can however do it on the way back. Climb up the middle, head through the park and up to the top of Delta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR ◣◢ Posted January 14, 2013 Share Not entirely sure why the trip back suddenly becomes a race. RockSpider85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
