Opel OPC Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 hi Hubbers Are there any Clubs in the Boksburg (East Rand) area that cater for Begineers?
MsBehavn Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Jeez TNT, sublety isn't one of your strong suits hey? Opel, are you looking for road or mtb?
scotty Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Yes, Fitshack are in Boksburg. TDF but they got a bit of a reputation (wont comment if justified or not) or even try Germiston wheelers they have rides suited to all abilities with back up vehicles. There used to be a club in Sunward Park but have not seen or heard of them recently.
TNT1 Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 I am subtle... East Rand style... Like a steam locomotive full speed and out of control...
TNT1 Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Yes' date=' Fitshack are in Boksburg. [/quote'] Yes, sorry, forgot about them. Google it, they have a website, and they are quite friendly and accomodating of beginners. They meet sat and sunday at Birchwood spur for rides.
TNOSE_E Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Sweat and GearsFinishlineAll have club/group rides
TNT1 Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Ya, but to be fair, he did ask for beginners. I'd sooner send a snowball to hell than say a beginner to a Tour de Frans group ride...
scotty Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Which side of Boksburg are you, north (east rand mall) side or south sunward side.

[/quote'] bob thats how i cut my teeth in the cycling world was just told to hang like a dogs ball and it will get easier as it goes along well to my dismay it didnt happen like that!!!! oh well would suggest joining DCB but seeing as we ride with TDF and dont have any organised "club rides" it is not what you are looking for

Opel OPC Posted January 14, 2009 Author Posted January 14, 2009 Hi Scott Sunward side would be nice, however anywhere in boksburg would be fine. Opel OPC2009-01-14 03:06:23

turtlek Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Opel in my opinion it is not about joining a club to see how the rides are you must be able to go to a group of guys and say can i join and if they have the attitude of um no go play somewhere else then you have a bad group of guys that you dont want to associate with rather go to a few different clubs or group rides and then decide from there if you like the atmosphere or you would rather go to another place
