SwissVan Posted January 28, 2015 Share With the amount of pancakes going around we are all in the Buffalo category. As for a ride your assumptions are not quite correct Red needs me to get him fit simply because my lack of talent forces me to train harder and longer so all he does is latch on to my schedule. As soon as he's fit he kicks my butt and the roles are reversed and I have no time to talk. But I'm always looking for company on ride, so you're welcome, but there are some things you need to consider before you commit. You will be subjected to my latest theory on training techniques, none of them work but that matters not you will hear them, as a tip Red has learnt to nod sagely. I fancy myself as a great trail mechanic, the truth is I barely get by but I have never not finished a race due to a mechanical. The problem is, I have a tendency to stop and try to help whenever I see a fellow rider with a mechanical, Red has threatened to klap me if I do it again. And do not expect any stories from me on the ride I have to concentrate to not fall off but the quiet time that you will experience from me on the climbs is where I think up all the crap I write afterwards. Oh yes another thing if it the trail is marked Black we have to ride it, this often leads to walking. Great read again, now you have 2 threads to keep updated...the canoeist in the the desert and now the " blonde pannekoek" one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted January 28, 2015 Share Cool story bro'. You certainly know how to handle a pen.Most of the pens wielded on the www are very blunt instruments. River Rats' is as sharp as a scalpel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popcorn_skollie Posted January 28, 2015 Share The guys who first got me into riding are the casual weekend warrior distance kinda guys.There's a Eugene and a Red in that group for damn sure.I've since splintered off into the trail and downhill stuff and hardly see them these days because of it. While I've made many new friends who like the same stuff as me.I really miss them and the rides we use to have.I supose its wishful thinking, but I'd like a day where everyone I know who likes to pedal on 2 wheels just rides together.

Stiggy Posted January 28, 2015 Share Excellent reading (of course). With Barberton this weekend, we expect a vast amount of stories next week! Good luck for the race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jissem boet......we are twins:..........lack of talent.......... ..........latest theory on training techniques......... - (that is actually my daytime job......although I prefer the proven "Old School" approach)..........trail mechanic.......

Shangri la Posted January 28, 2015 Share Not sure if you move South East at all - some not so shabby pannekoek and coffee at Die Brood Blik in the melie fields near Bapsfontein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Rat Posted January 28, 2015 Share That's my old stomping ground Pomona to Bapsfontein and back was the standard early morning ride when training for Iron Man. Whereabouts is the brood blik? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
