They'll have the latest and greatest bikes, helmet, kit, etc(*1) and you'll out ride them on your 900 year old Peejou(*2) and then NOT on (*1) You need to go Club 100, or CycleLab for that hmm I'll probably land up with group B or MOST PROB C, so anything goes on (*2) especially as home for S2L is WAAAAY closer than for any of them! Slave, Saturday we need to go hard and fast, I'm willing to sacrifice distance for that.... What the heck, let us try the 80kms... sounds like 'fun'!!!!

I planned to ride with Os a few weeks back and only found out now that it'sike this weekend. I was thinkig that once I get dropped by the fast bunch on Sunday, I can hide in the bushes waiting to jump into the Cresta bunch and ride away from them while they all laff at my 900 year old beast. The look on their faces when they see how good that bike really is. Priceless.
Guest Agteros Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 S2L, just remember it ain't the bike it is the pistons that drive it which makes the difference !

Slave Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 Hey there Oss. That's my man. We gonna go all out for an 80 on Saturday. The bunch will prob'ly loose me somewhere close to Boscos, but not serious. I'll hang on as long as I can. It's gonna be fun. You can go home and get ready for this wedding thing and I'll go home, lick my wounds and then catch a nap. Kid. These Cresta chaps have a serious itinary for Sunday. They start in Randburg and go all the way out past somewhere deep souf dude. (Have the route. We can have some fun with them and create a bit of friendly rivalry and banter. (or not).
Nancy Drew Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Looks like I shouldn't wear my Cresta kit if I decide to join you guys on Saturday....

Thanks Indigo kid Since I was born and bred in the south I guess my visa never expires
Guest Agteros Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Nance, since you have a lifetime visa for da souff, are you gonna go for a warmup ride on Sat in the deep souff wiff us crazy peeps before the hub ride on da udda side of da boerewors kurtin on Sun?
GreyOwl3.0 Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Hell...Nancy has this celebrity lifestyle going for her on the HUB! We have to book her in advance just for a training ride! You guys sound like your planning trouble with these rides?! S2L it sounds like your excited to see the dudes on their million dollar bikes? I'm gonna get a jersey made that says "King of the Steps" just for you...and then everyone will know! So, its a mad dash on saturday morning? 80km? Maybe I should call the chemist now?!
Guest Agteros Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 GreyOwl2.0 If you want to do a mad dash and want to go to the chemist beforehand I'll need a scooter (at least 250cc) to stick with you guys!Just remember that all is relative... ... ly slow for some and hectically fast for others
GreyOwl3.0 Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 You know what I love about this thread? Its all about cycling. From the very first page its been about riding...and riding together regardless of your ability. Its great. Its what the Hub is all about. A little friendly competition...thoughts of suffering up a climb...the humour...its great! The saturday morning rides are great fun again!
GreyOwl3.0 Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Its all good Agteros! Just be warned...S2L has some 'vooma' in his legs and he loves to stretch them! Looking forward to the ride...especially if we're going around Bosco. I doubt you'll need a scooter dude...
Slave Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 Is net so Os. What is a mad dash for me, is a doddle for people like GOv2. Seems like our group ride on Saturday is going to be a splinter affair. The really fast chaps will go like hell and the slowpokes like me will hang on until we fall off, regroup and head on at our own pace. So, Dash and I will be bringing up the rear, The kid and the Ox will be in their own group and Nance and Go will be out there somewhere. Oss, I know of a couple of short cuts dude. I cheated last time and I had a long wait for the rest of the group. Old Wise bird, bud, "king of the steps" is a far stretch even for my active immagination. Like the Ox said, it's all relative. And to think I used to be terrified of them steps once upon a time. Not to worry though, I have my 250 ready for Saturday. It has two wheels and fifty spokes. 8 speed sequential gears and rapid shift. All this powered by ttwin pistons. Speaking of which, Kid, don't tell anyone that the bike performance is piston driven. I wanna see the look on some of those faces when a 900 year old steel bike, ridden by a lunatic, goes past them on those really fance carbon jobs. Only thing is, I'll have to attack the "e" group. Looks like loads of practice up and down the steps come Sunday.
