Hey wepster, from you on the N1 north, take the Gordon Road off-ramp. Turn right back over the highway. Continue with this road down a lekker downhill and through the dip. At the traffic light (Long Road) turn left. About 500m-700m on the left you will get a slip road into the shopping center.

 

Re the beer. There is a dodgy little pub there if you "have" to.

Only the pub is dodgy, not the whole center. There are car guards.

So, it's 7:00am in the Greymont SC (actually think it's called the Northcliff Piazza). Please do not park on the main entry line infront of the Wimpy as this will be a problem loading bikes when we get back. It gets very busy.

Possibly 8 of us, nice ride.

 

I'm guessing that we'll work out distances and speeds, etc as we go along? Looking to be back by 11, so up to 4 hours of play, should be more than enough time.

I'll also go with Bosmont. Anything for something new.

 

Stevo showed me that wicked drop-off on Sunday. I can't believe you guys ride that. I've also been runnning and riding past it for years never dreaming that anyone would be crazy enough to ride down it. You guys are all whako.

 

Well, there are some sick Hubbers. I showed the guys this dropoff on Sunday. Eventually we had to force them to carry on with the ride as everyone was going down then circling back to do it again "one more time".

 

Luckily there were no actual falls but there were some close calls.

You're right I FLY. They were having so much fun I think that it's going to be weeks before ewep is going to be able to wipe the smile off his face. He then discovered the downhill section in the Delta between the two lines of trees. Then the fun started all over again. He's still be there now if we didn't beat him off with a stick.

 

There are more sick puppies in The Hub than I thought. I think that if I did that drop-off on my ancient bike you could rename me: I DIE.

 

I hope that everyone had as much fun as I did. Thanks to everyone for making it a great day.
