Excellent!

 

Slave, you going to have to be that starter like in the Tour de France so you better start practicing those hand signals. :lol:

 

Afterwards, Hummy and I are doing Bosco loop with the fast bunch. Then we can meet up somewhere for milkshakes and chill out.

Haha rides an Eddy Merckx(bike brand)

NR-????? Not sure myself

TT - Time trial

Power Meter - bicycle computer that measures how many light bulbs you can power while you ride

Cheese Factory - Loop named after old cheese factory about 60km, me thinks.

 

Andy help us out here with NR???

Eddy is an Eddy Merckx. Bicycle frame like Specialized, Trek etc.

TT is a Time Trial. Aka Race of Truth or Race against the clock.

Power meter measures the power you generate. Like a Heart rate monitor measures your heart rate.

Cheese factory is the name of a route which I have yet to try out.

 

If you joined us for a ride we would do a shorter ride of a distance that you want and at a pace that you want.

Oh, thanks Hummingbird and Andy.

NR, I am not sure about. I may be as nutty as Slave but about riding up hills. It is probably Slave-speak that only he knows. :lol:

Power is going to be done just after 6 so we can be back on the corner by 7 hopefully.

After our TT we have no set obligations to do anything as far as i know

Hannah, some like to measure power. It is the similar to riders who measure their heart rate while riding. For me a power meter adds too much weight to the bike. :D

 

We can arrange a very special introductory ride for you which will be a nice, relaxed social ride. We will even get Nancy (a lady) to join. :D

Andy you going to convince Nancy to bring her road bike out again!! This is impressive you must definitely have some influence then, i think its a world record 3 times in one month!!!

And after the TT we will probably be a bit tired so won't go hard from Xumbugs at all.

Hummy, Nance and I go for morning rides during the week on both road and mtb. And if it would persuade the Princess to join our group for a ride I will try persuade Nance to get the road bike out again. I am meeting her early tomorrow for a mtb Spruit ride (so don't be alarmed if I post something pre-5am :lol: ) so will have a chat to her. ;)

hahaha, hopefully I'll still be sleeping at that time!

 

I'll go for a later morning ride, maybe go and do Kieran's loop if I can remember it
