HUB Ride !!!!!! 06 September 2008

[Speed Devil]

PB' date=' the "marshals" vests (the yellow and orange ones) are very elite - they have to be earned etc. the normal TB bibs - i can try find out if there are any available to borrow - my small and medium would be available as i will use my marshals one. but any reflective vest will do - so i actually have a third that i could lend.[/quote']

 

SP, I have an adjustable reflective vest that I can lend for the day...if I can find it. Will bring it along on the day for just in case.

 

I also have a hard hat, safety shoes, earplugs and safety glasses to go with it if you need

ShaunH, thanks for the offer of the vests.

 

One guy has confirmed he can't make it. So we still have 3 confirmed that they are and another 1 still waiting for an answer.

hey guys sorry man i also have to pull out , see you all next time.

[Chilli Pepper]

Is it going to be safe to go on the road in such big numbers without the Metro and/or enough TB Marshalls? 

[Evan Andreou]

We did the first hub ride last year from the same venue, same route etc with only ShaunH backing us up and there were round 30 odd of us. Wasn't a problem

[pastapouch]

Safety in numbers is the rule... or so I last heard.  A motorist won't look for crap with 100 cyclists.

[shaunh]

If we don't have enough marshalls, then we will have to use only one support vehicle.

[pastapouch]

or what you can do is give one of the big guys a red bib. that should be good enough at the back.... Ok , I'm out of here.

[Wannabe]

Sorry guys, cannot make the hub ride this weekend. The government has got other plans for the weekend.

[Chilli Pepper]

Okay, we're still in, but I was just wondering.

Glad to hear.

 

Does it help or make a difference?

[slowpoke]

ok, we've got 1 more TB marshal definite - so that's 3 highly experienced TB marshals (minimum) plus pb's 3-4. the Santa Cyclists (december hub ride) ride had almost 100 cyclists and Zambezi rd got closed down with 2 vehicles and 10 bike (6 metro and 4 TB) so with min 6 bikes and 2 support vehicles (lead and sweep) this ride will run smoothly cos it's half the number of cyclists and less intersections.

 

1hill - nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! you can't pull out now!!!!!

 

eish, all you faders!
