Breedtsnek - 30/11/2008

[Thug]

 

A good turnout of Hubbers.

 

Thanks to Nancy Drew for organising, the use of her parents farm as the car-park, the coffee and muffins on arrival, cooldrinks afterwards and the use of the pool to cool off.

 

Almost all made it to the top, some turned at the top and headed back whilst others braved the fast and loose gravel descent down to the shebeen and the long climb back.

 

Thanks all, a great mornings ride.

 

 

Drinking coffee whilst waiting for more to arrive

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And we're off....

 

 

Onto the Breedtsnek Road. Most of the bunch is still together at this point...

 

 

At the 1st rest stop, waiting for the slower riders to catch up....

 

 

At the top of Breedtsnek. Some tired and weary bodies were now contemplating the much longer ascent from the other side...

The dudes in the background hadn't stopped from the night before....

 

 

Back at the farm

Great pics Thuggie.

I vote for Nancy Drew as Hub Ride organiser of the year.

For a mere R20 contribution we got safe and organised parking, coffee, rusks, hot cross buns, muffins and bananas on arrival and cool drinks and the pool to cool off in when we got back. Thanks N.D.

 

Great ride guys, bit harder than I expected but a good workout.

Just a bit?  

 

I'm hurting but not as much as the guy who fell in front of us and I suspect has a few broken ribs to go with his roasties!!

Damnit, clearly missed a good one  .... great to see everyone had fun though, looks like it was a perfect weatrer ride as well.

[MsBehavn]

You definitely did, dd!

It was drizzling on our way out to Hekpoort this morning but cleared up shortly after the ride started.  Things had definitely heated up by the time we reached the top of Breedt's though

No. Was someone another dude on his own ride with 2 of his mates. One stayed with him while the other one went back to fetch a car.

 

N.D.

 

Thanks again. Was lekker

[Thug]

Phew, could have sworn everyone survived unscathed. Ok, was that at the top of the climb ?

 

 

[Zoo Cookie]

awesome , awesome  awesome was the ride.

 

everything so beautiful and green after the rain - the kind of stuff that feeds your soul. . . . there is just something about being in nature on a day like today. and all this a mere hour's drive from the city ...  awesome.

Nope, as Loon said it was one of three racing snakes that came past his fiance and me on the way back.  He tried to get back on his bike and keep riding but eventually one of his buddies had to go and fetch the car for him.
