Frosty Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 Bike didn't take me anywhere. Daughter has a dance competition from yesterday afternoon until tomorrow. Managed to bump into some club mates on the road. So I stopped ahead and waited, and waited, and waited some more to get this shot. shova1, BDF, Edge540 and 4 others 7
BDF Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 I fear I might have become a roadie... http://i.imgur.com/CME7WEB.jpg Awesome ride around Pretoria today, thanks to the Velo guys dragging me along for a stretch!Did you do hat long ride with the Velo guys? Maybe you met my friend Luis?
BDF Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 I took my bike to Thaba today, then it took me for a tough ride! Like R&R said, start Lete and it gets hot! Did 47km in total. Quite messed afterward.Resting: Saw some bokkies: L.T.G, henningvr, Pikey and 5 others 8
bertusras Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 Did you do hat long ride with the Velo guys? Maybe you met my friend Luis? Nope, they caught me along Boschkop, thank goodness, the wind was giving me a spanking! BDF 1

Trouble is it leads to a whole bunch of other Blue route loops which (for me) were very difficult and I had to port a few sections. Skills training is big at Thaba!Also saw these bokkies BSG, henningvr, RocknRolla and 2 others 5

L.T.G Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 As part of my ride, did a new route (well, new to me) at FUN Gaalens on this scorcher of a morning...It's an alternative to coming down from the Greek Church the regular, also very FUN, way...But this section ... WOW!!!!!!!!! soooooooo good!!Problem is it might not always be open to riders It's on a game farm that's being fenced off and the landowners more than likely won't allow riders on BUT... there's still hope and it's still there to be ridden for now, so i'll be making good use of it in the weeks to come Pics don't do it justice though.If you're able to ride at VG, I HIGHLY recommend this route!

NotSoBigBen Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 It would appear that once again I was in a group of riders with Gerald but have yet to meet him ..... That is until they dropped me like a bad habit at about 17k's [emoji15] Long time since I've been to a race with cardboard numbers and manual timing, good fun morning out.
