'Dale Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 Great climbing test today after shifting the ride from Table Mountain to Drakenstein Mountains.Beautiful Boland mountains. Two horses parked at the summit overlooking Paarl in the Western Cape:
Akon Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 From where do you guys ride and are slow riders allowed to join the group? Can't you read? They ARE slow

udxcob Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 What sort of pace sirk, I am all riden out after the 100 miler
'Dale Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 What sort of pace sirk, I am all riden out after the 100 milerThat is, presumably, about a 28 km/h avg and a lil' more wheels rollin' effort, udxcob...Quite determined...
Tiny K Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 What sort of pace sirk, I am all riden out after the 100 miler Headhunter was looking at about a 25km/h average but I don't know what the distance is like I'm just going along for the ride
Tankman Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 between 22 & 24km/h ave for 4 passes is more realistic. Last time we did it with a 26.4km/h ave only because we hung on to Sefan Ihnlenfeltd's wheel for dear life! From Stellenbosch he carried on to Durbanville and us to Somerset ... then our phase dropped to about 12km/h ... we were gaaaar! Oh and there wasnt much wind that day and that ave included a 8min pitstop! Its about 135km Route map & profile on page 5 of the Somerset Roadie thread Tankmans (tbc) is as follows, I wont be joining, sorry chaps and enjoy the ride!

Tiny K Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Nice ride today MariusL and Headhunter Great 25Km/h ave for the 4 passes Next time we make sure the weather is the same, so that I can use my shoe covers and we avoid that head wind past Theewaterskloof that Headhunter was talking about
Tiny K Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 LD Ride (long Distance)Sunday 12/06/2011Meet at Klein Joostenberg Entrance at about 8:15(Myself and Headhunter are riding in from our homes - so there might be a slightly later time deviation.)Route: Weather dependant - but Klein Joostenberg, Stellenbosch, Helz, Franschhoek, Franschhoek pass to the top and back down, Over the back of Helz to Stellenbosch and go your own way from there. ROUTE LINK I am riding with Headhunter to Somerset West and to Kuils River via R301 (I think) for the extra mileage and climbing elevation.Distance: 88.26Km from Klein Joostenberg to Franschhoek Pass back to Stellenbosch.Ave Speed: 27Km/hClimbing: 1027m
Tiny K Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 I am assuming no other participation for tomorrow? Have a great Sunday guys!
