[/quote'] Spaso9 I'm also racing on Sunday so if wanna have a slow ride on saturday I'm in. If you haven't been on the bike for 10 days and you want to race on Sunday, eish slowly buddy. If GOv2 races on Sunday I'm really going to see how slow I am
Slave Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 Worry not a big man (Spaso) I'm also gonna get dropped. BTW, you managed to hang on well on that fast long loop we did with the fast bunch a few weeks ago. Wasssup, dude, you scared? This is just a short fast ride and I have little doubt that I will be doing some of that short loop SOLO. Eish, you and I can hobble up the steps together if you get dropped too. Moenie penneik ou. It'll be all right.
spaso9 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 ya, will try get onto the bike tom and friday just to get the legs back in the motion. just a little scared, but my evil twin will prob also come out as soon as a challenge is put out on sat. heard the race on sunday is pretty flat and fast, so shouldnt be a hard ride. only racing against myself really. will try keep up with the kid and nuwbie....

I'm going to take a rope & hook it onto GOv2's bike (he's so strong that he probably won't notice that he's towing me but he's going to be freaken confused that he wont be able to ride away from me ) S2L, why don't you come race on Sunday ?

GreyOwl3.0 Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Sheesh guys...this thread has been rather quiet this week?! As for riding this weekend...I'm not sure if I will be able to join. I seem to have picked up a bit of flu...and I wanna try get better asap so that I can race next weekend. But, if I'm feeling better tomorrow I will definately be there to take an easy ride.But its not looking like I am gonna race on sunday...sorry Spaso9! Anyway...I am still keen for the long Heidelberg ride the week after the 28/29 if you are still doing it?! Later...
Trubie Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Grey, me thinks they have all gotten a serious bout of cold feet, after all the talking, that monster ride last weekend, and slave's secret training regime, everyone has a groot skrik, and is too scared too say anythingOr..........everyone is out doing secret training - not to be left behind on the next ride
Slave Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 So, with all the junk going down at the office yesterday, our function was called off. Not an altogether bad thing. Bad situation or reason, but good outcome. I got to ride the beast. Went home and sat around for a bit and then decided to ride out my frustrations / irritations / stress / anxiety. Hit that Butchers, Columbine, Lido hill route. Thought of Spaso when I went past Panorama Shopping centre. It would have been cool to have a ride partner, but my decision was kinda 11th hour stuff. I probably wouldn't have been great company anyway. Great ride. 47 k's, 1 hr 37 minutes. Not my best time. Kid, those hills work the legs. The secret training is working. I got to thinking that I am going to have to do shorter rides from now on because darkness is coming earlier as winter creeps closer. Hey GOv2, you sure it's being sick that is keeping you from riding ths weekend, or are you running scared dude? Has I got you a bit rattled? (Yeah, Right.) Take care of yourself dude. Rather get well so you can focus all your attention and energy on that track event. The reward is potentially far greater. You run with us, the best you can hope for is a Noddy badge. I'm a little foncused (a permanent state of mind with me) about when we are actually riding this Heidelberg loop. When exactly is it? And when are the track events taking place?
Trubie Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I have it as the weekend of 4/5thplease confirm asap I heard the FNB was robbed at gunpoint yesterday - the 4 suspects got away on foot? Slave you should have been there to save the day
Cyclewizz Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Everybody is keen on the weekend of the 4/5th for the Heidelberg loop, so it seems that will be the date. Spaso9 can't make it on that weekend, Spaso9 if you wanna do a long loop next weekend you can join me as I'm planning a long loop 90 - 100km. Need to get some milage into these legs. Slavey, so why weren't you 9min quicker yesterday ?What went wrong ?Have you replaced the battery in the CatEye ? GreyOwl, like I told you yesterday, sleep is the best medicine.

I reckon that's why I was feeling so k*k on Saturday... anyway, that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it
