Princess Hannah I will ride a 6hr 94.7 this year... Have not ridden a bike since Race for Victory and I am still sick :angry:

 

A 6hr 94.7 on a Raleigh is ok, it would be terrible and unspoken of if you were riding an Italian baby.

Oxman has it not come through? I will resend it now mate :)

 

Kid you must be mad! I will be aboard the EMME2!!! (Hopefully :drool: ) (Shipping and customs dependant.........)

 

I think Kid has something to do with this. Did you pay your protection monies to him?

I'm sure he blocked it somehow ;)

Princess Hannah

 

*($^^(# spoilsport. To us guys banter and competition is behaving. You'd never understand. Just like we will never understand women. It's genetically hard coded. :D

Cannot believe you guys still have this thread going...How you guys doing?

 

Slave haven't seen you forever now!

 

:D :D So nice to see you again Mom. Yep this ol thread is still going. Not as strongly as before, but still on the go. Surprisingly, no-one has been banned and no animals were hurt during it's creation. :P

 

So what brings you around? Did Nance mention our ride Sunday? Can you get a babysitter and join us? We are having a mild ride around the short loop to break in a new recruit and meet up with some old slow ones. Notably yours truly and Ox.

 

Last time I saw you, you were still looking swell. ;)

I know. I was at the LBS the other day to get some more patches because I had a heap of punctures on Tuesday. (4 of them) and I was chatting with Wendel and the gang.

 

We are meeting up at Rietvlei around 06h45 for a short loop. Ox needs to go around again and I am toying with the idea of joining him. Andy did say they might meet up earlier and do a lap first and then when we get together it might be for lap 2 for some and lap 1 for others. Nance is joining us, So is Big S and a few others.

 

I am trying to get final confirmation today. Otherwise, I may have to go and hang aorund on the corner and pick up a slow bunch. ;)

When reading this thread, and whenever doubt occurs as to whether to laugh,cry or get :angry: Try :lol: Life is just too short to be serious all the time. It is never too late to have a happy childhood, or so I was told. :clap:

 

You like your bike, that's all that matters. Why worry about what other peeps think anyway? It's a sure way to go through life being :( It's ok to dream and have aspirations for better stuff as long as you are happy with what you have right now. Everything else is irrelevant.

 

PH, it took me a lot of training to get to that 3hr14. The aim was 3 so technically, I missed it, but after I looked at the result in context, I was rather :D Not bad for an old fart. There was also a lot of help from Trubie, Greyowl and several other hubbers.

 

I think Andy was the fastest. He has youth on his side. Trubie is a very experienced cyclist (read as and almost old fart. Me, I'm just experienced but not as a cyclist. Read as definite old fart, having a late life crisis playing with toys / bicycles.) I really should be playing bowls but Kid von't sign ze papers. There is a definite conspiracy here because every time I mention bowls (old man's marbles) there is one heck of a reaction.

 

Dudes, I have news for you. Next year, I am over 21 so I won't need your permission. Bowls on a Saturday Afternoon sounds like a cool way to pass a day. :P As long as I don't drop the wood on my foot, it will all be ok.

 

Listen Up now. It is Thursday. We are riding on Sunday. We need to make final arrangments.

 

Hannah, you ride with your legs so you won't be needing that wrist. Ox is unfit and Nance is joining us (I think. Aren't bike rides with mates more important than anniversaries anyway???)'Sides,it will only be for about an hour and a half to 2 hours. So the pace will be nice and moderate. The racing snake (al la Trubes) is in the flower fountain so he's excused.

 

We meet at Xumbugs at say 06h50 and go for a nice sedate run around the short loop. Hannah, no tequila on Saturday and bring your dad along to chaperone you.

 

Who's in, whose out?

 

I will be there on Sunday. Hopefully meet Nancy or whoever else at that shopping centre at about 06:45. Don't know where to go after that shopping centre.

 

Kid-your tyres are still in my boot so you must get them on Sunday.

An earlier lap will be better than a later lap. More milkshake & nap time ;)

Where is this Rietvlei in relation to that shopping centre, Panorama I think?

 

I would also like a longer ride. I will see what my options are after the ride. Maybe lap two or else I will head to the mountains.

Sounds like a plan. Where do you park out south Agetros? I only know that Panaroma shopping centre that Nancy took me to last Saturday.

A bit closer, but parking is on gravel / grass. Upshot is that there is a security guard (beginning of the year there was), a bike shop and a place to grab something to eat afterwards.

So, who is in for an earlier lap? 40km short loop?

What time we start this? At 05:00?

After that we leave with the short loop again at 07:00?

Thanks for the map! Much appreciated!

 

What about we meet at 05:00 for Lap 1. Then meet back at Rietvlei for Lap 2. That way if there are any problems on Lap 1 or the bunch leaves Xumbugs a bit earlier we still all ride together in our group?
