mountain_lion Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 Ok - so what's your time for this venue normally? Took mrs mountain_lion, her friend (novice MTBer) and myself just under 3h at a very leisurely pace (including many stops to look at the view, take photo's, talk sh!t etc). Red route only. Black route single track was too wet to ride (2008-07-28).
swoosh1973 Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 Hey Leet22, nice to see a Pink Floyed listnener on the Hub!! Are you going to Oak valey Sunday? Hey Brunson my MTB forks are a bit stuffed if i get them fixed in time will CU there . Still havent been to Oak valey. Got sick 2 weeks after Kleinmond and was flat for a week. Thanks for the PM on the multisport event in kleinmond. I started training again 2 weeks ago(stationary bike) not the same. So i lost some fitness
flex Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 Am jealous of you guys, Oak Valley is just a liiiiitttle bit nicer than the Spruit, which us Jo'burgers have to contend with. You cross bridges, we cross dead bodies Am trying to extend my one-day business trip to Cape Town next month to give me one day extra to ride Oak Valley. Boss may ask why my laptop (aka bike) bag is so big...

I must say i quite enjoyed the spruit except for all the dog walkers and the zimbabwean refugeas sleeping in the bush. I moved down to the Cape less than a year ago and must admit have enjoyed the rides alot more. The views are incredibel!

Nothing better than going AWOL from work
Christopher Brunsdon Posted July 13, 2009 Author Posted July 13, 2009 Update: Oak Valley said we can bring our own gas braais!!!! So I will be packing mine in if anyone want a Tjop after the ride

Christopher Brunsdon Posted July 19, 2009 Author Posted July 19, 2009 Well lets see by Friday/Saturday who all is going. Looking forward to Sunday as I want to see how much crap I can give my 'old shock - one of those cheap elasto-crap that came on my entry level GIANT Don't think I'll have time to fit my new shock in time - but I don't care. Still also got to learn on Saturday how to ride with cleats. So its going to be fun
