RockCoach Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 My goodness all the MTBers were friendly on the Spruit yesterday. Went out with a friend between Fratelli's and Alberts Farmand had a fun time in the plentiful mud. In fact the mud has made the Spruit much more technical than it's been for a long time. So where were all the inconsiderate, rude and ignorant riders?

markStockton Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Di CPD, a friend of hers and I where out on the spruit yesterday afternoon. I thought it was fairly quiet. We had a great ride. Got caught in the rain at the end, but if anything that made it even better. Maybe the "inconsiderate, rude and ignorant riders" where at the Fast One?
Moab Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Yep!! Was a nice time yesterday arvie! Have not enjoyed a spruit ride like that.
RockCoach Posted January 26, 2009 Author Posted January 26, 2009 I'm a (ex) roadie myself and most of the roadies I know are a very friendly bunch. Maybe it's when inexperienced guys ride the Spruit they have to concentrate. Definitely is not for novice riding at the moment either.
Thug Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 The Spruit was a mud bath on Saturday. Judging by the smells emanating from my bike and body, I definitely think though that it wasn't 100% mud The Thug2009-01-26 01:18:29

How did your Fast One go, I saw Great White, Big Ben and Thug at the finish, surprised not to spot you. I had an awesome Fast One - started in Group R (been doing duathlon and mtb for too long so no road seeding), rode 20km alone then hooked up with two really strong okes (i found out one was GreyOwl at the finish), engaged warp factor 9 and ended with a 2:30! I was rather impressed. How did you get on? I gave Great White a lift to the start - at some upgodly hour - I only started at 8H15

Lovely ride, didn't feel any stress at all. My fast one is on Sunday, just entered the 60km. Should have checked the weather for the week first. I think it might end up a bit like the 94.7 MTB race, ie - just a little muddy.

I suspect I'm be a ponce and end up borrowing a carbon hard tail for the race. Cian (the younger step daughter) is doing her first 1/2 marathon. I hope she survives and enjoys it.

If you can throw your leg over a 21" you welcome to borrow the Spesh Epic you saw or an old RM9 I have lying about. I remember Cian - waif like girl - she must have some impressive power to weight figures... Please wish her luck from me!
