keith Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Bobbie how long a ride we looking at? Or are we gonna ride till we can ride no more?
Rich Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Okay sounds great - count me in for a nice slow social ride!
Zoo Cookie Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 I will be at Giba today and find out about the cost to hire bikes.I do think that if you guys decide to go that route' date=' to let me know a.s.a.p. how many bikes to "pre-book" so that we can make sure they are available. Will speak to the owners and find out if we can get a better rate to hire if we "hire in bulk" so to speak. Will post the price here later.[/quote'] well, chilli pepper made me buy a spanner no. 15, so , now i'll be able to swop pedals. hired bikes fine. we mos not gonna do the kremetart all ove again.
Pocketbikes Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 4 days of silence, must I be worried? Come Gauteng, we need at least 2 more people to join and help share the costs. Does no one have family they would like to visit? HR, about the bikes, either way is fine with me. I think we will need a venter of sorts for the luggage. To limit everyone to one medium tog bag for kit, helmet and clothes would be unfair. Does anyone now someone who has a venter that can carry bikes? Then you, Zoo and whoever else can bring their own bikes. The wife and I just started riding now, so we will hire bikes. (wouldn't know the difference between riding a Specialized to a Makro special )
Pocketbikes Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Eish... ignoring me now... For the JHB people, calculations are: (with extras, in case) JHB to Durban and back, plus milage down there= 1300 kms At a bit of a heavy consumption of 10kms/l = 130 litres Diesel price (going up on Wed = R12.50 X 130 = R1625 Toll gates, there and back= R 590 Total = R2215 6 people = R370 8 people = R280 Budget on the worst case of R370. If we can fill the other 2 spots, it's a bonus. We need to know if we are still going, as some might want to do the Tour de Soweto if we don't go. Entries for T de S close today at 18H00. Are we still going?

bobbie Posted July 31, 2008 Author Posted July 31, 2008 report back:Hire bikes for the day R200. we can use them from morning till night time. I have provionally booked 10 bikes but need to confirm sizes and final quantities 1 week before!the idea is to arrive at Giba at 08h30, do a few tracks and then have "brunch" - back on the bikes, do some more tracks, have liquid lunch (there is a bar and restaurant on site) and for those who want to, go back and ride some more.The restaurant is open till "whenever" according to the owner so ifyou guys want I can try and organise a 'set menu' of sorts so we can have dinner there after the last ride?Let me know!!
andrewbell Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 what a day you have planned for us bobset. bring it on, lets have some fun.....

potent Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 not to throw a spanner in the works guys. but for those who like to race there is a race in Harburg...close to wartburg on that day. check out http://www.tourdekrantz.co.za/ guys could possibly meet up there and race. there is a whole german theme thing happening there.
Pocketbikes Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 HR, Delgado, Zoo and any other interested parties... spoke to Bobbie about accommodation, so that we can get a final figure. She will look for accommodation for as and come back here. Thanks Bobbie, for all your running around
Tumbleweed Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 yeah, second that! big up to the bobster. pb, what time would you like to leave on the friday?
Pocketbikes Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 HR, I'm easy... Anytime is fine with me. What time do the others want to leave. We can leave anytime during the day, but then there will be an extra nights accommodation. We can also leave late on Friday and be there Sat morning. Whatever you guys feel is best.
