Alberton _ JHB South Riders

[Andyr249]

How many climbs?

If we leave at 5am then how long would it take?

[Slave]

Andy, 'bout 3.5 hrs.

 

With Kieran and kid towing me, it might be a bit less.

 

Safe to work on about 3.5 to 4 hours. If we leave at 5, provided I can stay awake on the bike. I should be done in time for work on Monday.

 

Hey Kid, pssst. C'me're. When did you become a hardcore cyclist dude? Doing SBR, long rides on weekends and even riding with the creme in the mornings?

 

Want I should e-mail the Doc? Not too sure of invitng neighbour. He may be too slow for Kieran.

[Ha Ha Kieran]

Slave you know you're going to be towing me the last few kms ha ha ha

[Cyclewizz]

This will be my last long ride before I go away & relax.

I also need to get used to doing 100+km rides otherwise I fade at about the 80km point.

 

I no longer ride with creme de la creme, they just too fast for me but I'm making progress. Maybe in a few months I'll be able to ride with them again but I will have to ask permission from you know who as I can't just pitch up - by invite only!!!!

 

The Doc was wanting to get some distance into those long legs of his so give him a shout.

 

Slave, that route sounds cool, I take it it includes GO's favourite climb into Heidelberg ?

 

 

[Andyr249]

Ok, I could join if I leave the South by about 9am.

[Cyclewizz]

Ok' date=' I could join if I leave the South by about 9am.[/quote']

If we leave at 5am we should be back by 9am.

[Andyr249]

Keep me posted then.

[Slave]

No, you chop. Did you read, what I wrote / typed?

 

I am trying not to do the berg. I want to go via the cheese factory, out past SBR and turning right towards Henley. Then back home again.

 

I plan to ride 1000km for December. Most I have ever done before is just over 900.

 

 

[Andyr249]

I did read what you wrote/typed! I was just interested to know about any climbs on the route. There was also something about GO HeidelBERG climb!

[Cyclewizz]

Slave, I did read but you know you have to include that Heidelberg climb.

I thought you had forgotten about that climb.

 

Which ever way but a few climbs will do us good.

 

 

[Ha Ha Kieran]

Slave I'll be around most of December. Can I join you on the quest? Or part thereof anyhow...

[Andyr249]

Slave, you are in for a hard December then!

[Cyclewizz]

Slave I'll be around most of December. Can I join you on the quest? Or part thereof anyhow...

 

Kieran you better keep an eye on Slave in Dec, make sure he doesn't go and play Bowls. You should also know that if Slave is saying he plans to do 1000km in Dec it actually means he's planning to do 2000+km (1000+km is top secrect training).

He's now going for a sub 3hr 94.7 in 2010 so he's trainning is starting tomorrow.

[Ha Ha Kieran]

Kid I also need to do the covert top-secret training... Also want to get as close to a 3hr or better 94.7 in 2010  and more importantly not get droppen in SBR at all next time round

[Andyr249]

Good plan Kieran!

Slave, what is happening with your bike?

[Slave]

Cut

 

Kid' date=' Heidelberg could work. I still have one or two energy bars left from 94.7 and one or two goos as well.

 

Kieran. you need two bottles for that ride dude. Even my two were not enough for that route kid and I did way back in Feb.

 

Leave at 5? Kid, I won't even ask the rhetorical question about your sanity. We all know the answer already. [img']https://assets.bikehub.co.za/legacy_images/smilies/smiley18.gif[/img] 

 

For 100km we can go via the race for victory route except that instead of going into the reserve, we continue and include parts of the fast one route. We are training for the fast one after all. Right turn at Henley and head back home.  

 

 

Er, Andy, touchy, touchy, I was shouting at the blue child. You know how kids NEVER listen.... No? Don't worry dude, one day you will have some of your own and then you will find out.

 

Kid, the climbs if we go the route I am suggesting are, Lido hill towards Walkerville. The one up past the airfield a la R4V and then the two part the SBR. Instead of heading left to the berg and doing Simons hill, we head right towards Henley. Long drag, not a climb. Next climb is the steps.

 

I do hills all the time in the week. I am looking for a flatish fast route this weekend. Alternatively, we can always climb Butchers or the Lido hill towards Monder.
