EL Stepo Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Anyone out there keen to mix it up with fellow Hubbers in a HUB RIDE early this November? A couple of weeks before the 94.7 I am thinking of a nice easy loop of "Cheese factory" with sponsored venue and support Vehicles and some measure of traffic control assistance on the day. A few years ago I put together a HUB RIDE from the Mercedes Benz Showroom in Midrand, Merc accommodated us with the Venue, Parking, Bike park, Snacks and Refreshments afterward and topped it off with a grand prize (lucky draw) for a snazzy Car for one lucky HUBBER to cruise around in for the week. I am working with the Guys and Girls at Nash Nissan in Alberton who are in the mood to do the same if sufficient interest is there. Things on the cards are: Organised Mass ride at an easy pace +- 60km - not a race - a hub ride A quick COFFEE and a Boerie Roll afterward. Bike show - All local shops and importers are invited to place their Bikes on show amongst the new Nissan Models, also this will be a good time to have the "demo" bikes around for test rides etc Thule will be invited to accessorise some of the Cars in the showroom and provide a "prize" or two too. I am thinking that we can allocate a space for the local Bikes that are for sale in the classifieds section on the floor too after the ride to help the private sales and upgrade train along. A Grand Prize of a fully kitted out Nissan SUV (Thule) to drive for the week and weekend of the 94.7 cycle challenge The whole thing to start at 07:00 and be done by 10:30 ish...11:00?
NotSoBigBen Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 I would be keen depending on the date on how much panic training I need closer to the time ????
'Kaze Pete Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 This could be my "comeback" ride... And always good to visit nsBBs 'hood. Questions is whether the winner of the previous draw will be there (I'm not sure, but I don't think she is riding anymore...)
Dude Crush Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Im keen! Sounds like a great idea... How far is that from where the lido loop guys start? Cnr of Swartkoppies and Kliprivier Drive? I wonder if the big group there would be keen to ride to Nissan and back... Theres a hundred odd riders for you...
eddy Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 As long as it is not on the weekend of 7th -8th Nov, I am in.
Frosty Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Im keen! Sounds like a great idea... How far is that from where the lido loop guys start? Cnr of Swartkoppies and Kliprivier Drive? I wonder if the big group there would be keen to ride to Nissan and back... Theres a hundred odd riders for you...Nash Nissan in Alberton is about 13Km from the intersection.We ride along Swartkoppies every weekend from that direction.If it's a "Cheese Factory" loop, then it will be a bit more than 60Km - closer to 70Km. Good Idea - I'm sure I can get a number of (anonymous) hubbers to attend too.
mecheng89 Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 I'll keep an eye on this thread, looks pretty cool. Count me in (if the dates suits of course).
hayleyearth Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Also keen... Seems like November unfortunately only have one real weekend before 94.7..
EL Stepo Posted October 4, 2015 Author Posted October 4, 2015 Great, I will start making a list of all those interested tomorrow and will start organizing the ride ie finalizing the route and the date etc.
