Guest Agteros Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Indigo Kids kid? Was he not meant to be joining as well? Sorry guys...but a guys gotta do what a guys gotta do...hence no Owl on saturday! And one of those things is take a ride on a bike on Saturdays with his mates. We already grant you leave for Sundays. You have used up all your Saturday Leave now for the rest of the year so next week' date=' we expect you there, 'k? Kids kid (Dom) is on the list.Looks like 11 or twelve of us. Ox, I don't recall, Do you have Mr. Bond as an attendee. (Ahh yes, I recall, Jow Slow.)[img']https://assets.bikehub.co.za/legacy_images/smilies/smiley36.gif[/img] Seems like since Slave got himself a pair of cycling shooz he is getting all cocky and all...
NotSoBigBen Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Thanks mate, I know that route so it's cool ........
Slave Posted May 22, 2009 Author Posted May 22, 2009 Looks like the dozen members will be made. Breezer (Mrs' Slave's teenager AKA "Teeny") will be joining us.
Guest Agteros Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Looks like the dozen members will be made. Breezer (Mrs' Slave's teenager AKA "Teeny") will be joining us. And then the two DD (and BB) will most probably try to turn us into the Dirty Dozen! Guess we'll just have to keep the rubber bands on the black strip for the day!
Cyclewizz Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Where you guys meeting on Saturday ? Rietvlei ? Affirmative Leaving at 7:45am ? Affirmative! SHARP!!! Thanks. Slave' date=' I'll give your cell number & maybe it will be a good idea you take his, just incase you fall behind [img']https://assets.bikehub.co.za/legacy_images/smilies/smiley36.gif[/img]
Slave Posted May 22, 2009 Author Posted May 22, 2009 Eish Kid, you cut me deep. I happen to know the route fairly well so getting dropped is not a problem for me. I can find my way back, like a bad penny that just keeps popping up, I will return. If Mrs' Slave manages to finish my custom made cycling jacket today, I might leave home extra early and do my own bit of a loop before I get to Rietvlei. So, with some luck, I will be very visible in dayglo yellow and at least reasonably warm. Not too sure what to do about the legs though. Trying to get her to make me leg warmers as well. She keeps telling me I'm very demanding. I think I will have to have some sterm words with her.

Slave Posted May 22, 2009 Author Posted May 22, 2009 Yeah, at this stage I don't even have her permission to pretend I'm the boss. One step at a time. Get that one concession and the rest is easy. Get a hand, take the whole arm. Alternatively, I'll take a course in sewing and make my own damn leg warmers. Slave2009-05-22 02:30:18
Slave Posted May 22, 2009 Author Posted May 22, 2009 Edit: Those bar-one pancakes are just plain overkill (JL last couldn't get any takers to help him finish it) - wonder why? Wrong. I was a taker. Those things are rather lekker. (Now you now the secret of climbing the steps. Loads of fuel. (Bar one is my regular brand of petrol. First choice. Second choice. See choice number one.
NotSoBigBen Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 On my rabbit food and chicken breast sans skin diet I guess there'll be non of that for me .........
Tyx1 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Down boy' date=' it was just a compliment. Don't go and get all sentimental on me now dude. Are you home at a reasonable hour tonight, I think I need to rest my bike (poor old thing can't keep up with me any more) so it looks like tonogght might be a good time to start operation Walter. Build a bike for the young man. With some luck, we can hand it over to him Saturday, take some oics and post them on the hub. That smile will go all the way around his head.[/quote'] I see you managed to get a frame for Walter. Can't wait to see him on a new bike. Don't forget to take the pics. Or you can invite me to the party.
Cyclewizz Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Trubie, you rather quiet ?Are you focussing on tomorrow's race ? Good luck bud!!!
Slave Posted May 22, 2009 Author Posted May 22, 2009 Yeah Tyx1. There is an update on the thread. Couple of small things I need to get like the guides for the gear cables. Think I need to rush of to Cycle hub and see if Wendel can help out.
