Cyclewizz Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 What about Saturday morning ?Don't know if there are any monkeys on Saturday mornings S2L just wanted to ride with the fast group at 7am.But I think the guys will only do the 40km as they might be racing on Sunday. Do you wanna do a longer ride ?
BigDeon Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Yeah, longer ride maybe 75k's then (John Basco - circus route). I'll lay low on the vitamin B & C .(Brandy and Coke)on Friday evening to prepare for the ride.What you think S2L? Nuwbie - you racing Sunday?
Cyclewizz Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I'm keen for the 75km ride on Saturday as I wont be able to ride on Sunday.We can just create our own group.
BigDeon Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Cool Indigo Kid, check post update tomorrow, we might get some more interested.
Cyclewizz Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Cool.I'm sure S2L will have something to say, he thought he was going to do a 40km loop now he's going to do a 75km loop
spaso9 Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 see talk of a longer ride on saturdayi'm keen to join if thats cool, as wont be able to ride on sunday and not racing...
Guest Agteros Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 S2L wants to test drive the fast bunch over the 40k loop as far a I recollect!
Slave Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 Ja Os, jy's reg. Only for me that 40 k loop turns into 60 and Saturday, it's prob'ly going to turn into about 70 some without even going outside the loop. I'm not too keen on going long Saturday, because I'm not sure what to expect with the faster chaps and Sunday should be at least 100 k's. Don't want to blow the legs Sat and then not be able to ride Sun. All things are negotiable tho'.
BigDeon Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Maybe the Loop twice then. <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />Sunday I?m going to have to ride with my Argus team mates.Went for a MTB ride yesterday afternoon and had to call the wife to pick me up. Out in the open Rand Water fields next to the R59 the lightning was hectic out over the Brackendowns / Glenvista area. I wasn?t planning on playing chicken with the guy with the big flash!! Got soaked though.

Slave Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 Obelix, we can negotiate to do the long loop on Saturday. Maybe have arun around the short loop and then instead of going up the steps, we go right, pass SBR, Henley and then home past the circus. That's about a 100 k's for me. That's a pretty good compromise on a fast start with a long end. That way I can see how I feel Sunday and just do a recovery ride. Seems to be there are more takers for a long one Saturday. I have to meet up with Greyowl at the start on Saturday. We'll ride the first part of the loop together and he may want to join us for the longer ride afterwards. That storm yesterday was pretty hectic. Plenty rain and those blue lights in the sky can be a bit rough.
Cyclewizz Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 S2L, for a big guy you sound scared. 75km on Sat & 100KM on Sunday ?You done that last weekend, I done 50 odd on Sat which means yo done about 60 and we both done 100 on Sunday, so what's another 15km between friends ? I'm keen for a longer Saturday ride, let me know where and what time. What you going to do if the fast bunch goes for a long ride on Sat ?I'm only speculating that they'll only do the 40km loop because of the race on Sunday but I know most of the guys raced last week Sunday. I was coming down Hennie Alberts at about 6pm and the road was flooded towards the bottom we had to drive through that grey offices parking lot and no cars were going up. Now where's the sun gone ??
GreyOwl3.0 Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Gentlemen...So, are you doing the usual saturday mornig ride, then branching off at Klip River like we did last time S2L? Or going with the big dawgs and making it up from there?!
Slave Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 GO, sounds to me like the guys want to go for a long ride Sat as some can't make it Sunday. I had the idea we could go with the faster guys until we get to the bridge and then branch off like we did last time. How are you for that idea? I can do whatever.

[/quote'] Me, scared? HA! Terrified. Seriously dude, even if I do the short loop on Sat, I will end up with about 72 as opposed to the 60 I did last week. So, if we go around the big loop, I will end up with more like 90 at the end. And then 100 on Sunday. Eish.
