Escapee.. Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I'm sure you know your own mind, so good luck with the carrot of joining the Team, and with the recovery from your c-bone. PS how does one source one's index? http://www.pedalpower.org.za/seeding/
Fat Boab Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 http://www.pedalpower.org.za/seeding/ Ta muchly! I'd forgotten about this - stopped looking at it over a year ago.
Rob Mortimer Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I'm in Midrand.I did post a couple pages back, but it got lost in the *** talk, that I might ride from this side to meet up with Stevie and Hayley in the Cradle if anyone else wants to come How far would that end up being, or do you mean drive over that way and then cycle?
BouncingBrain Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I'm all the way from Boksburg. A bit far out for me too. Perhaps 1 Sunday every few weeks would be cool.. Any1 else closer to me willing to do training rides closer to home, let me know

Lurch the stalker Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 How far would that end up being, or do you mean drive over that way and then cycle?I'm contemplating riding there*, doing the loop, then riding home.I'd guess it'll be around 90km round trip. *depending if I can find a decent route off the highway to get there.

This your only option from Midrand. With the current road works on cedar it is not recommended unless you have balls of steel and a deathwish.

Ok, that's a little far...
StevieL Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I'm contemplating riding there*, doing the loop, then riding home.I'd guess it'll be around 90km round trip. *depending if I can find a decent route off the highway to get there.I think a better option would be to drive to Cycle lab and park there. We come right past there, so a little detour into the car park wouldn't be a train smash.A quicker and altogether safer option for you to consider. The only downside would mean you riding from Northcliff/Linden to Cycle lab on your own, as we would drop off before then... Best I can suggest and again, definitely the safer option.
Lurch the stalker Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 How about the balls of steel?Carpet knows about the death wish but has yet to check on steel haha BouncingBrain 1
Mats Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Carpet knows about the death wish but has yet to check on steel hahaWhy do I need to do that check? ????????????I will supply the gloves and then you can ask a man who already has a pair to check for you. hayleyearth and StevieL 2
hayleyearth Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Only went to fetch my bike or my car now, both wheels flat flat! Those are my 1st punctures on my road bike (only had once before on my mtb). Thank goodness it didn't happen on the ride because I decided to not carry any spares or tools with this time (was the 1st time in my road bike I decided that too)...Told Wes this before the time "I'll rather carry an extra bottle of fluid today than spares"... I dropped that bottle just after the 1st hill (useless) Anyway... Guess I have to go buy tubes now. I need new tires too though...
TALUS Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 The absolute perfect training route would be Suikerbosrand. Imagine if everyone knew there will be a group training ride at 6:30 every first Saturday of the month (for example). DIPSLICK, Frosty, Baaisikilist and 1 other 4
bmw1za Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Looks like the Force was with Hayley ... I also only took my bike in today .. rest is apparently important. I was having a bad spell last week, 8 punctures in 2 days. Needless to say I rode with lots of tubes and lots of tools. mmmmmm... lots of extra weight but not one mechanical breakdown(aside from the 12 punctures in my legs) . I will take that as a win though StevieL, BouncingBrain and hayleyearth 3

I'd be keen on this on any Sunday. Unfortunately Saturday i work from 9am..
