Respect for riding in that! I waited till 6pm before I left Sandton.

I actually thought would miss it. Left work at 15h20 and decided to try put in a little bit extra on the way home, I checked twitter just before leaving and the storm was just hitting alberton. I kept an eye on it but clearly I miss judged it. Then the rain started hard at about 15h40 and the nearest garage was closed for renovations. Raced to the next one and just before I got there the lightning got a bit too close for comfort, as in noise and light at the same time followed by needing a change of pants.

I see you in Greenstone, I am in Edenglen, so we like 5km from each other. So we where probably dodging the same lightning bolts.

Exactly :thumbup: Where do you ride to?

What are the odds of mapping the hub names with the names in Endomondo?  One or two have put in the Hub names but most (myself included) have put in their real names.  Would be interresting to know who's who in the zoo.

Three mornings a week - do a +-20km ride around neighbourhood. Then have breakfast at home before wife and dogs will walk me to work. Then they will come to my office after work so we can walk home together. 

On the other two days we will just do the walk to and from work.

 

My male labrador already has his own Strava profile so we will be able to log his escorting duties.

I am moving to Thorn Valley Estate on 30 March.

 

Maybe you can show us where to find decent morning routes without being on the R25.

Are you planning on joining a club?

If yes,

http://www.team-edenglen.co.za/

We have weekend rides from 06h00(06h30 in winter) and weekday rides at 04h00/04h15/04h30 and a mtb group at 05h00. Weekday rides ranging from 1h30 to 2hrs route depending and weekend rides can be anything from 2 odd hrs to 5/6hrs.

But otherwise glad to advise/show some lekker routes that are "safe"

There are a few club members in that estate(In fact I think some may even be hubbers)
