Butterbean Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 So I'm entered in the krugersdorp classic on the 12th Jan, and on leave until the 6th. Looking for a group or even one other rider to do some road rides in the cradle next week. I'm based in Bedfordview, don't mind broad acres as a start point and looking to ride a minimum of 80km each day, at an average of around 26-28km/h, although don't mind it slowing down if needs be! I'm not all that strong on the climbs but will get up with most riders... Obviously the 1st might not be the best with the previous night's celebration, but I'm flexible either way. Rides would start from 7am to allow travel time for me:) I'm fully self sufficient, a stop at the caves to grab a energy bar and relax would be cool. Just need to spend a lot of time in the saddle next week! Let me know!
Ozzie NL Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 Will put in a few rides between now and 5th of Jan. Typical ride as per Strava link below. .http://www.strava.com/activities/97977942 Happy to hook up anywhere on that route.
GaryvdM Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 I'm keen to ride on the 30, 31, and maybe the 1st. Just let me know the time and place.

Butterbean Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 Yes. I did What bike were you on? And kit? Just interested... Must say I'm ashamed! This last week had been a nightmare with family and couldn't get out and ride as planned... Sorry guys! But managed to get out this morning and actually hopped on the cycle lab group be accident when leaving the spar... I think it was the c group? So may have seen you! Again tho, apologies for the OP, and to the respondents! But hey, at least heckflosse got some help so it's not all bad...
Agteros Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Yes. I didCould have seen you, might not even have noticed. On our crawl (extended to 140km for me!) we joined up with the D group on the circle just outside the lab, but then sprinted ahead on Witkoppen to the C group. Rode with them until the Beyers Naude T junction where the lab group goes down that hill to go back up the other side. We turned left and started our reconnaissance of the Cradle and surrounds. See you tomorrow morning for a shorter and easier (with 1 hill though) ride?
