Bunch of faders...I was out there this morning at 7am...so were 19 other people! One of them said to me "Its either that we (us devout who were there this morning) dont have lives' date=' or because we actually do have lives!"

 

Where were you all? Kieran has an excuse, and I know Predictor would have been out there albeit in the DEEP south!

 

I'm just pulling your legs (not really)

 

Happy new year guys!

Speaking of faders.... Where were you you this morning GO?

Posted

Ok! I deserved that...but I did ride this morning! In fact I just got in now. I thought the roads were a little bit too wet at 6-50am this morning when I was about to leave...so I just waited a little before I went out. Seems a lot of people had the same idea coz I saw loads of the usual guys out a bit later too!

 

But Alas, you are correct..I am a softie fader who seems scared of a little water!

HummingBird, seems my name should be changed to 'Chicken'

 

As a matter of interest...how many guys rode this morning? And how many people punctured?

Weren't many people, maybe 40 max.

2 -3 punctured but I have a friend that once told me to pump my tyres hard so I can avoid punctures and it seems to work smiley2.gif.

 

See you tomorrow then, going long with sml Bird

My friend has his moments, I can introduce you to him. I'm sure you guys would get along very well. smiley36.gif

 

The sun is out to dry up all the puddles, so we'll see you tomorrow.

I will not be joining you guys tomorrow. I'm taking the MTB to go frolic in the Groenkloof mud.

 

Will be doing the SBR ride next Saturday though. That Sunday I'm taking the MTB to go roll in the sands of Babbas Lodge.

Straight away I'm just keen to know how Mighty Spoke is? I know he fell this morning with Hummingbird, and was a little concussed. I'm not sure of the details, but I'm sure Indigo Kid and Hummingbird will fill us in.

Mighty Spoke, I hope your ok dude? Speedy recovery for you dude.

Its never nice to hear that another rider has fallen.

 

Hummingbird, dude your now officially a cyclist! A fall is a right of passage when you sign up for this sport. Glad your ok.

 

Our ride this morning was in possibly the worst conditions I have braved in a while! Not pleasant. Good to see all the "Ubbers" back from their Xmas hols and riding again! We were a massive bunch when we set out this morning. Guess everyone is getting ready for the FastOne?!

 

I must say, we have been spoilt for training here in the South these Xmas holidays. Almost every day saw a ride with a professional amongst the bunches. And we have been very priviliged to have had the presence of Lance Armstrongs new team mate Darryl Impey in his new Radioshack kit, as well as Garmins Robbie Hunter. Its a little surreal to be out riding with guys like these around you!

 

But its cooler still to be able to meet up at Xumbugs and have a good laugh with this bunch of Hooligans from the ASGR crowd. Sorry I missed Agteros yesterday....

 

See you guys on the roads again next weekend!

This was the idea, that the sun dry all the puddles up, but it never quiet worked out like that and i nailed the exact muddy one that hadn't been dried up!!!!



Thanks Go, but I've apparently still got a few to go, once heard need to fall 7 times to be a real cyclists, therefore I've got 4 falls left.



Mighty Spoke is alright!!!! His bro PM'ed kid and says he has a slight concussion, few chipped teeth and a cut on the inside of cheek!

Ouch! At least he's ok. thats good to know.

 

There is that myth Hummingbird, that you need to fall 7times to be a cyclist. I'd go out now on your bike and crash a couple more times on the soft grass...and you'll have your 7!

 

Falling is never fun.

 

Glad to hear Mighty Spoke is "A OK!"
