Imploder Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Ahh yes, the sweet smell of redemption!!! Well done sir. A great report, proving you are a great guy.
Honkdonk Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Nice A ride of contrasts. From one end of the spectrum to the other.I am fairly new to the road riding thing and still need to get the urge to give it stick at all coss out of my system. One day when I am tired of it, I will be sure to enjoy the vibe like this.
Tubehunter Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Slowbzzz, I'll add some more chilled ride vibe to your thread if you don't mind dude! Better half and I decided to make the most of the day on the bike and have a relaxed fun time riding in honour of cycling mates who passed away along with the fire fighters plight over the past few weeks! Here's our day... Cycled in to the start with some minor issues which meant we missed the group we were supposed to start with. Felt bleak about not riding with the family and friends of my work mate who passed away in January... Loaded with the next available group and set off on a slow jaunt. Nope there was no option of chasing them down as we had decked out ourselves and the bikes with some attachments that made anything but a cruise unrealistic! Literally soaked up the vibe of every participant and supporter all round the circuit! High fived the gorilla dude on the M3 in Constantia, stopped at a few of the water stops and chatted, rode alongside a dad and his young son on a tandem going back up Wynberg Hill and did a decent visit to the VWS crew next to Newlands Forest. Caught up with some of our missed start group who had made a Forries stop at this point and shared some of our stories about the ride til then. Took in the last run up into the city as a complete jol! Saw a stranded cyclist crying whilst walking her bike past the station. Stopped our band of riders and investigated to find her front tyre had ripped off the beading and spare tubes were jumping out the side of the tyre when she tried to inflate. Had so much ductape on my bike I was able to relinquish a long piece and stuck the tyre back together. She was down from Germany and loving the whole vibe to the point where her ride had become a walk. Felt like we had rescued the experience and she mounted her bike to ride to the finish with us! Everyone having a laugh and a good time. If you want to experience what it feels like to have every single spectator seem like a family member out supporting you, then I can highly recommend wearing something like this for the ride: Ride 4 Adre 2015 was a memorable experience! He would've smashed this ride as his 21st one! All the months of training and the ideas of riding for a PB were not even on the radar compared to the smiles and cheers of all the children, young and old who screamed and supported us around the route. Thank you CT for an awesome day out on the bike!
