Yip...time to bring my new baby out for her maiden voyage with you nutters!! Indigo...wait till you see me riding in the actual winter time! I look like a frigging Eskimo!!

Last year I went to the Junior World Champs in Cape Town in July....it was so cold I was wearing everything I owned!

 

Yeah' date=' Kid you are right...made some good friends on this here thread! Thanks guys!

Hopefully all those clothes will slow you down

I can't imagine an Owl dressed up as an Eskimo, bud you wear a jacket when we ride in summer so in winter I suppose you wear thermal clothing ?

yeah he's a thermal wearer and likes a blankie over his lap.

I wonder how do you get one on a bike?

[Trubie]

Slave, no need for too much info.

Wait and see.

Its an easier ride than last week.

With Oxman not being there, we lack quality riders in the group, but I'm sure the plebs will manage ok.

 

Lido hill is only 7k's, why you walking up there?

Now I know why 'they' don't regard us as athletes

I think I should fill your waterbottles with lead

[Trubie]

Ja Kid, its harsh, but when someone points it out to one in such a way, its hard to digest.

I will just have to accept that I'm not seen as an athlete, and finish and klaar!!

 

Ox does however give our little group cred in the cycling community, so when he's not there, we suck 

[Slave]

Nuwbs, you chopper.

 

Yeah, I was walking on my hands dude, on foot, it's too easy. I was looking for a challenge. And I even had the bike strapped to my back while walking on my hands.

 

You realise that tomorrow, Kid is going to hurt you, I'm going to hurt whats left and then GO prob'ly going to take your head off and sh!t down you neck.

 

(Pst, hey Kid, c'mhere, you want some sweets (oops wrong forum), the way to get revenge is to tie that rope of yours onto his bike (all the way))

[Trubie]

why pick on me?

[Slave]

Er, maybe 'cause right now there's about two computers, some LAN network cable, some telkom lines and several KM between us. You can extract your revenge tomorrow morning if you remember and then I'll plead insanity.

Nuwbie everybody has their own opinion and the only opinion you have to worry about is yours. At the end of the day the only person you racing is yourself, so do your best and be proud of yourself!!!

 

Ox does have his bursts but tomorrow GreyOwl will be joinning us and GreyOwl only has one burst, from the start to the finish. Didn't you say that you wanted an easy ride ??

Or did I miss something again ?

[Trubie]

Nothing has changed, that's still the plan, an easy ride.

75k's - 2:30

Is today pick-pick day? What I do for this? Just now the second wise bird wanna give me sticks on our rides, then what? I bleed through my eyes?

 

The only diffs between you guys and mahshelf is that I do not know when to stop, although you guy showed me out past Sunday with that 15km peleton riding session... Remember, I was the FIRST to drop of the pace....  you were all still pulling along quite happily!

 

I am not a cyclist yet, I just ride ma bike... And contrary to what some say I SUCK up the hills.... Should have seen me on the crit race 2 days ago.... Just as painful to watch as experience at the top of the little hill...

 

So guys, stop knocking yerselfs and go ride da cycles! Lemme be wiff me wannabe running training  Let me cower in a dark room this weekend, and hopefully recover from my cycling wounds...

Ok, so 75km in 2hr 30min is an average of 30km/h that's an easy ride.

What would you (Nuwbie) classify as a hard ride ? What average speed ?

 

Ox, you a lot more than just a cyclist you also a runner. Don't sit in the dark room, come push me up the hills, Nuwbie wants to take his frustrations out on us tomorrow.

[Trubie]

30.5 gets a little bit tough, by 30.8 u know its hard

IK I have to go for a 7km run this afternoon, and do a few easy-ish runs over the weekend :-) Somewhere over the easter weekend I'm gonna take my son for a 5km cycle, and that is me for the weekend.

 

You guys go enjoy the cycling!

 

 

[Slave]

Oxman.

 

Don't be so down on yourself dude. For someone who does so little training, your ride good mate. Your hill climbing is better than you give yourself credit for.

 

No need to feel down about "bonking" on that crazy stretch from the Berg to the steps. That was hard riding with you and the kid accelerating the pack every time you went to the front. That was hard work.  Eish, I was taking mega strain there but that's part of training.

 

Since I forget how much pain we experienced, it was actually "fun" and in the end, it was a great ride.

 

You do some more training (Cycling) and you'll be really good mate. You have talent. I had to work dam hard to get to this level of fitness that enables me to keep up with you sometimes.

 

You train some, and I'll be looking for slower riding mates that I can keep up with.

 

It just so happens that Nuwbs and the bird fella, are really good strong riders and are trying to help the likes of lil' ol' me. (I wonder if they realise that I'm beyond help. Miracles are more what I need.)

 

Become a cyclist dude. You can do some good stuff. Me, I just can like to ride my bike, as much as possible. Some need quality and since I'm such an old fart, I substitute that for quantity.

 

Miles and miles of "fun".

I'll manage (even if the doc needs to supply a little juice ).

 

My trainning rides are averaging just under 30 (don't laugh GreyOwl).

 

Excellent, I'll see you all tomorrow @ 7am (my time)

[GreyOwl3.0]

Kid...why would I laugh? Seriously?! Thats cool...its a nice decent average for a training ride, absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Just looking at the weather outside, and its a little overcast? Was thinking of riding this afternoon...but I doubt I'll get a chance.

 

Agteros...dude, your strong. Everyone bonks...its not a sign to stop cycling! Just as long as you enjoy the bike and the company, its all good. I seem to remember a really strong guy pushing the pace on that last ride together (That was you Agteros!)...
