Moab Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Anyone keen on joining me Saturday afternoon for a ride? Here are the details:Meet at 1 or 2pm Total garage, Leslie Ave, DouglasdaleRide out to Roodepoort area (either up or down Krugersdorp hill) I am not that fast. About a d-group rider. I need to do about 3hours of riding. Argus training
Slave Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Psssst. Di,Heard a rumour that there was quite a beeeg race on Sunday. Maybe your timing's a bit off for this ride. I think there will be a large contingent of hubbers doing the Sunday ride and maybe that will limit the number of takers.Of course I always open my mouth to change feet so I could be wrong.

Slave Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Better idea. Pull out to my place and we'll go jump the fence an cause some mayhem on the course come Sunday. (Got that idea from one or other hubber this morning.)

Funny thing is that there is this big ride in Cape Town in March and I need to train!!
AndreZA Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Di, why you always ride on Saturday afternoons?
Moab Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 Di' date=' why you always ride on Saturday afternoons? [/quote'] Cause I got something on most Saturday mornings. Makes for an anti social cyclist.
Speed Devil Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 I would have joined you but have to go to Capetown for the weekend for a wedding
Moab Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 Surely someone is willing to go for a Saturday cruise? Or are you all racing? Sure we can find a nice route for Argus training. (With 45days to go to the mass CapeTown exodus its training time!)
TiBones Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 The fast one should give you an hour or three in the saddle. Post a wanted ad for an entry and the rest of the hub will see you there. Even Holy will be waiting for you at the finish to collect any bits that fall off your bike for Ronelle's bunch in CT
Slave Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Hmmmmm. No takers eh?Looks like you might be stuck with my suggestion. Looking at doing between 80 and 100 on Sunday. (Nope, not racing the fast one.) Have a fair course mappedout for at leaast three hours of boths hills and flat routes. Should get you some kinda fitness.

I am likely not as fit as you but could be fun. I will let you know by tomorrow afternoon if I dont find a partner for sat. then I will ride with you guys and sat I will ride bike park or northern farm. Btw... what time you starting?
Slave Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Early. Want to go out and watch the elites come past. What time does the race start?Anyhoo, after the elites and a few other groups go past, we will amble along and do the route I have planned. Should be a good ride.I may not be as fit as you think I am. I was pretty after my 100 k on Saturday.
DaSH82 Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Hey Di, I could be interested in a ride on saturday arvie... Also riding the argus, and need to get some serious time in saddle... Just might slow you down..What route do you have in mind?

But I am open to suggestions. The bonus of riding afternoons is that the weather is more like capetown - unpredictable!
