Tumbleweed Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Oh, and from Sunday's observation, Peacock Alley may have to be renamed Peahen Alley. More girl fowls than boy fowls out on the trails!
Schnoodle Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Are there any night rides at bcc Thursday night
Pete the Pirate Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 We are planning this as a once a month event for the last Thursday of every month starting in January 2016. We will advertise well before the time. Happy cycling.
s14phoenix Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 I see a tree has fallen across trail in the second last forrest before going down to old rocky revenge. Some nasty branches along the trail side on some places. Watch those heads etc. Had another awesome ride there though. Love it!
s14phoenix Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Here is the section with the fallen tree: also here is my map of the full new Red Route with all the extensions: For those that don't know. the Start and finish is right a the bottom on the map. (actually just a bit before)
Pete the Pirate Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Thank you.I have advised Darren (The club CEO).Hopefully it will be removed during the day.
Pete the Pirate Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Thank you too for posting a pic of the route. Great to give the fellow hubbers insight into this magic little trail
s14phoenix Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Thank you too for posting a pic of the route. Great to give the fellow hubbers insight into this magic little trail Its not so little anymore. I really think you HAVE to know your stuff to ride all of it. The new red sections have added a new dimension of fitness requirement and technical skill to successfully conquer. There may not be much climbing on this trail but on multiple occasions I have my Garmin screaming at me about my HR (I in turn scream back at it to shut up). FUN FUN FUN.
Pete the Pirate Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 HaHa - so true My cousin who is a super iron man tri-athlete bonkers nutso superfit guy has never ridden the trail. I said he really needs to turn his wheels around here at least once. His reply was that when he returns from the Cape, he will come and put in 4 or 5 fast laps. I am still laughing . Has anyone ever done more than 2 on the trot?
s14phoenix Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 I did 3 once... it was nice chilly day to keep cool not like now and I nearly died It was awesome and that was pre all the new additions so was easier to do...

Has anyone ever done more than 2 on the trot?As a fellow triathlete yeah i would say he could do 4 fast laps, that new section is where it will take the most out of him, I tend to find the track on a whole is not too hectic cardio wise but I don't really push too hard. I like to enjoy the track and ride with mates who don't ride very fast.
Pete the Pirate Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 My experience is 2 hard laps = a straw in my beer because I can't lift my arms
scotty Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Did 2 laps earlier and it was clear of large branches, the trail is now full of little chics running round
doczessop Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Was there this morning also. Just saw a peahen with two bantam chicks!!I know this is Benoni but still, knew inbreeding was ok but outbreeding?
Pete the Pirate Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Yarwellnofine. You know us Benoni okes. A breed apart.
