This morning at 4:25 I was cycling up Lyttleton road from Clubview and passed two guys on mtb's where Lyttleton road change to Jean avenue under the Ben Schoeman Freeway.

 

Not many riders train at that ungodly hour and my training buddy is going overseas for a week or so, and then his wife is due to deliver in 10 weeks.

 

Would like a back-up riding group once he is gone or struggling with the new one.

 

So if you are on the Hub, and can accomodate another rider in the mornings now and again, please send me a PM.

 

The ZENEX cyclelab group is an option, but they oly start at 5, and end a bit late.

 

Thanks!

I regularly see a Select Cycling Club MTB rider "returning home" in RHK a bit later (05H30).

Do not know if he came from that direction.

Saw him the other day going down Old JHB rd near the Chamberlains intersection.

between 9-9:30, any later and I battle to wake at 4

 

Huh!!! 9-9:30. I can only dream of going to bed that early. Try 11-12pm and then waking at 5am.

And that's not even to go ride.
