Alberton _ JHB South Riders

[Slave]

The short loop is about 60 from Fnb back to FNB again and takes just on two hours. If you leave at 5, you can catch up with us as we pull out of the station at Xumbugs.

 

Cathc us if you can .....  (hahrhahahahahr.)

 

Yeah Kid, we gotta use all means (fair or foul) to make him tired so we can keep up with him. He may still ride us off his wheels though.

 

See, GOv2's got rattled again and gone out training.

 

Keep it up kid, he might overtrain and be all knackerd come Saturday.

 

Hey Spaso, stop working so hard dude, it's interfering with your banter.

 

Me, I got work to do, I'll drop in again soon. (read as off to do some hill work (top secret training.))

[DaSH82]

Also going to go for a quick ride now.. LOL. See you all on Saturday..

[Nancy Drew]

Geeez... all this training that's going on is getting me more worried/nervous than I was before. I rode with this crowd on Saturday, a nice short easy MTB ride on Sunday and nothing since

Don't know if I'll find time to do anything before Saturday either.  Dash, do you mind if I keep "snails pace" with you at the back to keep an eye on the rest of these hooligans?

Don't worry Nancy, just remeber that if anybody gets a puncture they'll have to wait for you, since you the only one that knows how to operate a bomb.

 

I done 100km on Sunday & the next time I'll be on the road will be on Saturday.

I'll send you a PM and together we'll slow the Owl & the Slave down!!

 

Hi Nancy,

 

My is plan thus far.

For GreyOwl we'll let some air out of his tyres, let's drop them to let's say

3 bar, we'll tell time its a much softer ride.

For S2L, we'll take off the toe clips from his pedals.

 

Do you have any mtb tricks you can add ?

 

Cheers

Indigo Kid.

I'm gonna bring my camelbak... I'll ask the owl if he'll carry it for me (being the obliging kinda guy he is I know he'll help me out), instead of water, I'm gonna fill the bladder with paper weights.. should manage a good 20kgs in a 1.5litre.

 

While he's busy figuring the camelbak thing out, you distract S2L while I change the wheel circumference setting on his bike computer. When we get rolling he'll be only too happy that we're averaging 65km/h to notice that we're only doing about 20.

 

We'll make this ride manageable yet

 

 

[Slave]

Go Nance. Join in and there will be at least three of us riding at a sane pace.

 

The only thing 'bout me that's fast is how fast I can put my foot in my mouth. (You know why I have a big mouth? I have big feet.)

 

Just went back a bit. The speed at which we have posted nine pages of drivel, is quite scary. I found a few posts I missed completely cause like I read a lot slower than I ride.

 

Kid. Not smoking anything new (unfortuantely) why, you got some whacky twacky for me? Just been on the same old same-o. Camel (the only cig with a picture of the factory on the box.) How bout some crack of iets before we hit the road on Sat. No wait, I have to race GOv2 up the steps.

 

Me an that big frikkin mouth. (mumblemumle,mutter, rhubarb, rhubarb.)

 

Seriously Nance. We gonna have a good ride and the Oxman has a point. You need to pracice bunch riding. Nothing to it. Cool bunch of hooglians to ride with, great route and maybe a good laugh at the end when the wise  bird kicks the old mans butt up the steps at the end.

 

Can only be a hoot. So, it's Dash, you and I in one group and the rest of the loons in there own group.

 

If I invite Pierre, he'll be the only non hubber and he can make up the foursome for our group.

 

 Let's make it a mini hubber ride since I won't be making the groendakkies (sorry groenkloof ride) Sunday. I'll be in my padded cell at Groendakkies. (They only let me out once a week. Sometimes twice for real good behaviour.)

 

So Nuwbie. Maak n plan boet, Obelix, you too dude and where the heck is Wonder Woman?

 

Say, with all these mad (and some sane) hubbers together, you think we need a supposrt vehicle to play some music for us. We can play Bicycle race by Queen when we dash up the steps.

 

'k, Im going back to work. Damn work is interfering with my k@kpraat.

LOL the last time I did any training that involves a bicycle was 28Feb/1Mar ... overcooked it then, did the Randfontein race and a MTB duathlon the day after...

 

Not been on the bike for anything (except a 1H00 10km social sight seeing MTB ride last weekend) so this will burn me legs a bit as well Oh and I need to leave some juice in the tank, I'm going to a social do on Sat afternoon/evening and a long club ride on sun morn .... I hope to be meek like a little lamb! (Like last time I went for the short loop with Slave)

Nancy, I like the way you thinking but as a suggestion maybe you should fill the bladder with sand and if GOv2 takes a sip he's going to freaken stop which means we'll gain a few more meters on him.

Just before the steps we'll give S2L & GOv2 a Red Bull & a Bar One and we'll go up there at a normal pace of say 25km/h.

We'll send GOv2 & S2L straight to the coffee shop at Rietfontein and by the time we get there we can just sit down and a a cupper.

 

So does this mean that you'll be joining us ?

[DaSH82]

Sure Nance... We can hangt at the back.. LOL. I just came back from a quick little spin on my bike and i am buggered.. My legs are still feeling it from Sunday's ride... or being couped up in the train.. not sure which. LOL. But i am keen hey..

[Nancy Drew]

Kid.... I think my arm's been somewhat twisted.  Despite GO's scare tactics yesterday I think I just might be there.

 

I'll put one of those long red flags on the back of my bike (like they put on the cars that drive around the mines) as a precautionary measure.  Maybe I'll add flashing LED's to the back of my jersey that say "Caution, Learner Roadie"

 

 

[Slave]

harhahrhahrhahrhahahah. One's got rubber arms and one's gonna have rubber legs. Os, jy gaan K@K boetie.

 

I got my rocket launcher tube snorted for me bike already.

 

An here I was worried about the ride. Gonna be a walk around Boscos.

 

Looks like we gonna have to form our own group kid, The big dawgs are never gonna wait for us to catch up.

 

See Nance, Dash, Oxman, you were all worried for nuthin. It's going to be a cool ride. Can't wait.

[NotSoBigBen]

[Guest Agteros]

This week started on P34 of the 48 so far and no riding has been done yet!
