[Event] 947 Cycle Challenge 2016

[Dexter-morgan]

Reminds me of my very first girlfriend. Always wanted to be in the FRONT of the queue. Sit in the BACK of the bus and just to confuse the hell out me, always wanted to be the CENTRE of attention. Could never understand her.

Did you try to understand a woman!! brave man.

Guys off topic a bit and probably on the wrong thread but since this does relate quite directly to 94.7 I thought I would post here.

 

Nirvana for cyclists in joburg aka the cradle is obviously getting very busy as it tends to do every year before 94.7 this comes with an interesting set of problems for all interest bearers in the area 1. The residents 2. The cyclists now recently because of some less than exemplary behavior from both camps things there have escalated and became nasty again, incidents of assault etc.

 

But now for my grief it is apparent that beyon a reasonable doubt someone/s have vandalized the cycle lanes with broken glass, I have never seen so many broken bottles on any road!!

 

Certain groups of cyclists (you know if you are one of them) contribute very directly to the frustration that ultimately leads to the type of behavior. I have seen at leas half a dozen of bunches last weekend taking up an entire lane, and not using the provided cycling lanes, this, as the motorists have pointed out on many occasions, is extremely frustrating for them. More to the point though it is also against the law (riding two abreast in the provided lanes thought is 100%)

 

So my reasoning goes if you want to stop motorists breaking the law (read vandalizing roads) first obey the law yourself, also gives us as a community a foot to stand on, which given the status quo sorry to have to say we don't!

Why didn't you come up with a clever abbreviation for these guys?

Reminds me of a joke (or is it not a joke....):

 

A guy kicks a genie lamp out of the sand.  He rubs it and a genie pops out and grants him one wish. 

He wishes for a road running from Durban to Mauritius, since he wants to go on holiday there, but he is terrified of flying.  The genie complains and says the logistics will be unbelievably tough and it will drain the natural resources of the planet.  He begs the guy to please give an alternative wish.

The guy obliges and wishes to be able to understand women.

The genie thinks about it for a few minutes and then replies:  Would you like a single or double lane road to Mauritius?

Are there any parts of the 947 route that have been affected by the floods?

Due to working overseas and a pretty piss poor training regime, i will not be terribly rapid this year. Anyone know any decent beer halls to pull over in between the zoo and Saints? Not sure my arms will handle the full distance so considering options to pull off (with another mate in the same boat) and chill waiting for a lift...... if things go badly...

if it rains a lot this week and specifically Friday/Saturday the turn left onto Witkoppen in Douglasdale will be interesting.... A nice little dam builds up there these days.

 

Looks like it may rain sunday in the morning...we hope not but we wait n see

['Kaze Pete]

AccuWeather seems to think Sunday will be fine with some chance of light rain. Not sure how to read the wind though
