BrandonF_ Posted May 6, 2016 Share You can only say that when you have almost every KOM in the area you ride in, and the likes are all that's left... (Sorry... I checked your name history )Haha!! No I don't!!! Liar!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptor-22 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Hardly rouge riding. Just the early adopters getting screwed over by the johnny come lately no respect bunch. Take the Constantia Greenbelts. We've been riding them since the 70's without any hassles. Except for the type of bike we were on. Then guys got silly and rode while the walkers or horses were out and a clampdown came. Now some new age mountain biker takes credit for opening up trails that were open 40 years ago. So what you're saying is, it was ok for you to rogue ride, but not for others....? or am I misunderstanding your POV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Buttox Posted May 6, 2016 Share Haha!! No I don't!!! Liar!!A few of us late-comers to the Strava training methods look up the Strava mountain and see u okes... Then we get close to a loop's time and then find another tougher loop including some mountain that is even faster. It's like Russian nesting dolls. Excuse if I don't 'Like' hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headshot Posted May 6, 2016 Share So what you're saying is, it was ok for you to rogue ride, but not for others....? or am I misunderstanding your POV?I think what he is saying is that prior to the demise of Tokai there was more or less tolerance between the peeps who cycled the belts and the other users. With the sudden increase in numbers came problems with people riding in busy dog walker infested areas and generally increasing the profile of cycling in the belts that was not sustainable. Is that PC enough for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to be stupid, you have to first be able to think about what you are doing on the bike. I am taking skills lessons and will soon be able to be ready to think about being stupid.

I am taking skills lessons and will soon be able to be ready to think about being stupid.Exactly, me doing stupid things is not by choice, I am just hanging on repeating "dont brake, keep momentum, dont brake, keep momentum, dont brake, keep momentum, dont brake, keep momentum, dont brake, keep momentum" over and over in my head. This does mean that I end up going faster than I should/can and am therefore out of control most of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does mean that I end up going faster than I should/can and am therefore out of control most of the time I succumbed, finally, to my feminine side and went for lessons with a phenomenal downhill rider. It was shocking how badly I was doing things - slowly and surely I am doing the segments much faster (relative to myself) and trying a lot less to go fast. To an anal analytic like myself it was a huge mind shift but I'm no longer clenching like a gorilla and enjoying things much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
