stevensfreak Posted August 21, 2009 Share I'm very interested to join your weekend riding group. I live in Stellenbosch but quite close to the Bottelary Road' date=' so no problem to join meet up from where ever you're cycling from. Am a novice MTB'er and would like to learn how to be a better rider, so patience might be required. Please let me know if your riding group takes off.....[/quote'] Go Granny!!!!! www.grannygear.co.za, great bunch of people!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZIPPO Posted August 23, 2009 Share How did your De Grendal ride go?I did a 15km. yesterday around Durbanville area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi73 Posted August 24, 2009 Share You know it's tough going if you have to push your bike downhill!!! It was a 15km loop so you kind of new what lied ahead the second time around....wasn't easier! I seriously need some technical training, I fell so many times, my hands are aching because of too much braking - but I'm glad I finished, didn't feel like it at the time! Pushed more than cycled, some serious, serious uphills!How did your ride go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZIPPO Posted August 24, 2009 Share At least you finished and that says you have enough guts for this sport well done.My ride went well mostly uphill but on road very happy with myself just a little stiff this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi73 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Thanks! Not sure if it was guts or stupidity haha! Glad you enjoyed your ride as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virgo Posted August 24, 2009 Share Thanks! Not sure if it was guts or stupidity haha! Glad you enjoyed your ride as well! Hey - trust me - lots of guts!! I'm also new to mtb (actually cycling!) and I did a 15km mtb as a first off-road experience. Then did a ladies mtb skills course at Dirtopia. At least got some insight there. Helped a lot.Now for the next step this weekend: 45km mtb. This might qualify as stupidity! That's the only times I have ever rode off-road. Isn't it just fun! Despite all the bruises - I look like I've been in an accident after every ride! - I love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scuzzy Posted August 24, 2009 Share ZIPPO, a relaxing ride is always good, but give yourself some time to rest as well, if you gonna ride every day this week, maybe a rest day is not such a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
