Borriz Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 While night riding 2 weeks ago we started discussing the possibility of doing a Breedts Neck night ride. Who would be interested in something like this and has it been tried before? We recon it will take about 4 hours and if one starts at 6 (during summer) then one would need lights for about 3 - 3.5 hours which should be okish for most battery packs. Coincide this ride with fullmoon and one will have an unbelievable scenery at the top of the valley and surroundings - might also help with a bit of clarity on the road.
Tumbleweed Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 i dig the idea. where's nancy when you need her?
Guest Agteros Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Please, please let me help pick the weekend Not a long list to pick from though Any school holiday evening should be OK

Nancy Drew Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Hey Borriz, I've been talking about a ride like this for ages now... just wasn't sure that anyone else would find it as appealing as I do The condition that road is in at the moment might make for a dangerous descent though in the dark Lets see how many people might be interested and chat? I could probably provide secure parking which would add an extra 8 kays to the ride, then maybe we could do a potjie/braai or something after??
Hog_ Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Oh yes, great idea. Let's drag Hog up the hill that ends all hills, and let him descend when he's too tired to talk normal, THEN pump him full of food and beer and let him drive home way past his bed time... I'M IN!! (Oh, I don't have lights, so I'll have to ride in front. You're all going to have to wait for me!)
Guest Agteros Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Oh yes' date=' great idea. Let's drag Hog up the hill that ends all hills, and let him descend when he's too tired to talk normal, THEN pump him full of food and beer and let him drive home way past his bed time... I'M IN!! (Oh, I don't have lights, so I'll have to ride in front. You're all going to have to wait for me!) [/quote'] Rather eat your carrots. Your chances to get to the bottom unscathed will be a lot better than trying to stay out front in the dark!

cat-i Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 haha hr probably not - i don't keep track of the phases of the moon <hijack on> it would be a waste to not ride on a weekday night if you can sleep in the next day, don't you think? do you know anyone who could maybe try to twist geoff's arm to keep the bikepark open that night? </hijack off>
