I need to be back by 05:30/05:45 ideally, so most group rides start and finish too late for me. Rides usually start at 04:10 regardless of day. I can ride to Modderfontein, do a big loop, ride back and still catch my family in PJs having clocked ~100k before 09:30. I have little interest in sitting and shooting the **** with a bunch of semi-rando's for an hour in the middle of a 70k ride that only starts at 0700.

I'm also normally back while the family is still trying to roll out of bed, but during the week that is 6:30. Also have no interest in sitting in a bunch with random people all flexing their egos, but have considered this for 1) safety 2) longer rides i guess the first step is for me to visit BL and get onto their whatsapp group, thats one step closer

That's the only part of riding I am firmly not liking. Eddy Gordo 1

I blame myself for what happened, due to not taking note where I am going. I dont mind the falls and bruises. Just dont like braking something. Wheelie87, DJR and TheoG 2 1
