markStockton Posted October 6, 2008 Share Hi All I'm planning a group ride for Sunday the 12th of October. The plan is to leave the Douglasdale Total garage at the corner of Leslie and Douglas Drive at 8am, Woolworth's side of Leslie. Anyone keen on joining let me know. Pace will be relaxed and hopefully we can find a spot to get a cup of coffee on the way back. Regards Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy Drew Posted October 7, 2008 Share sounds good, but 8h00 is unfortunately too late for me.. you might find that most people are going to be at Crater Cruise too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanJ Posted October 7, 2008 Share Yup would have joined you but long Crater Cruise (race) on Saturday followed by short Crater Cruise (cruise with friends) on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog_ Posted October 7, 2008 Share I could join, will ride there from my place! We can do breakfast at the Sandton Field & Study center - there is a coffee shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hog_ Posted October 8, 2008 Share You think it may be more convenient for people to meet in Bryanston somewhere instead of Fourways? Either way, it's not too far to the Bryanston entrance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markStockton Posted October 8, 2008 Share I've got a small group coming from 4ways / Douglasdale, hence the meeting place. However we could also hookup at the low level ridge down at the bottom of Grosvenor Road at about 08h30 if that works better for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDEE Posted October 8, 2008 Share Mark, when you say relaxed pace...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markStockton Posted October 8, 2008 Share Mark' date=' when you say relaxed pace...... [/quote'] As fast as the slowest rider will allow. There are at least two girls coming with, I think one is a beginner. BTW - If you don't have a taker on that shock, please let me know, I'm interested.

That chicks can't ride fast? I'm cool with meeting at Douglas & Leslie. I didn't know you arranged a group from there, just thought if there's pople coming from all over it may be easier to meet in Bryanston. Woolies side is by the Swiss Inn right?

KDEE Posted October 8, 2008 Share Thanks Mark, we might just join you on that ride.. No takers as yet, although I have just replied to the first post, so will give him a chance. Thanks for letting me know, will keep you informed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog_ Posted October 10, 2008 Share Right, so who's in? I may be coming down with the flu, but I'm going to drug myself PROPERLY tonight. If I'm not there by 8, please leave without me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunh Posted October 10, 2008 Share Mark & Co, just a suggestion, why not ride out South and join us at the Race for Victory MTB ride. Only 30 kays and you can enjoy the festivities afterwards.Myself & a few others are really gonna make it a training ride and I will live up to my new name 'Captain Slow'!

There is an elegant simplistic beauty to getting up on a Sunday jumping on a bike, meeting some friends (old and new) and going for a fun ride, leaving the gas guzzler sitting at home in the drive way. Also I can't do the social thing in a race environment. As soon as it starts I end up with a heart rate of 190 and it only slows after I cross the finish line.
