Slave Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 WHAT? No trucks for me to chase? I will have to rethink this one. OK, so this time I will bring my light wieght Binocs with me and do some bird spotting on the route. Andy, you don't have to wait around for me. I'll just bring up the rear. Ox. Lots of people told me that this is one of the best places to train. I was terrified the first time I rode there. It was in the middle of a very hot, very windy day sometime around Christmas / new years last year. I went in at the Karee Kloof gate and managed to struggle my way up the forst climb. Because I had SO with me, it was very easy to bail at the foot of the steep part of the second climb. This made me scared of the ride when I joined Joe (S)Low and Delgado there earlier this year. It was a great ride. Second time was even better and the third better still. That hill training will be really good for you.
Andyr249 Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Think of it as a pre-WFC social get together! We can even go to the Circus or wherever to relax and socialise further over Kid's chocolate milkshakes and, if I remember correctly, the pancakes.
NotSoBigBen Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Os' date=' there are no trucks in SBR so it will be a sedate pace. So BigBen, you also joining us? I will ride at whatever the going pace is.[/quote'] Sorry sir but I will be in Sabie for the SabieX pre-ride riding a 'proper' bike ...... Now those are mountains to climb 2 weeks before 94.7 hey

Slave, bring your far lookers you'll have plenty of time while you wait for me
Cyclewizz Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Thanks man' date=' yip MTB and road![/quote'] One day when I grow up I'll also be able to do both
Slave Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 Respect BB. Doing the double is something special. I might try that next year. Kid, the hills will be good for you. Promise. It may not seem like it at the time, but they did me some good. And I hear there are no trucks or busses to chase so I doubt I will be doing any waiting for you. More likely you lot will be waiting for me.

You guys do know that there is a race there on the 1st Nov ??And looking at the route it looks like it goes through the reserve.
Andyr249 Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 The route doesn't go through the reserve. I starts at Kareekloof resort and goes out on the road that you cross over if you do the reserve loop.
Guest Agteros Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Nopes, I'm not doing SBR for the first time 2 weeks before WFC...I'd rather go do that race starting at Kareekloof, or otherwise go do a MTB race at Babbas At that is final
Slave Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 Pik, Pik, Pik. Sounds like we have a chicken in our midst.
Andyr249 Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Ok so it is Slave, Kieran, Kid and I it seems. Anyone else is welcome to join. Predictor? Owl?
Nancy Drew Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Excellent Slave and Kieran! So that makes it Slave' date=' Kieran, Kid and I. Come on Os and Nance! It will NOT be max pace ride I promise. Think of it this way Os - if you ride with us then you can suffer less on the N14 in 94.7 and not have to buy lunch. Nance - we can go get you a milkshake at the Circus afterwards.[/quote'] Well that goes without a say Andy - no milkshake, no ride. I've been told that it's a great recovery drink You had to pick the 1st, didn't you? It's my child's 10th birthday so I'll be giving this one a miss
Nancy Drew Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Thanks man' date=' yip MTB and road![/quote'] One day when I grow up I'll also be able to do both Kid' date=' one day when you grow up you'll get yourself a REAL bike too.... unless you plan on doing the MTB on your road bike [img']https://assets.bikehub.co.za/legacy_images/smilies/smiley4.gif[/img]
