Wannabe Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 DD. Want to go out, but 06h00 is too early for me. Starting to get the holiday feeling already. Should I change my mind and decide to join you, I'll let you know.
Tiny K Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 I'm out - as in out in Robertson. Got talked into doing a static line jump (parachute) with my wife by my wife.

BMCfan Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Anybody got something planned for Sunday. Looking for something 4hr+ If nothing planned, I'm thinking something Gordon' Bay-ish or something Hout Bay-ish Lekker early start, prefably
small h Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 I'm thinking of doing a lsd ride to Hermanus over the Holiday period. Anybody interested in joining me?I will ride there, meet up with the Guv'ment who will drive there by car, and then spend the day there. A ride out to Hermanus with the Guv'ments going by car sounds like a good idea - sure TinyK will agree
Wannabe Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 A ride out to Hermanus with the Guv'ments going by car sounds like a good idea - sure TinyK will agree I'm starting to like you even more. . Speak to the man, so we can arrange it.
small h Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 I'm starting to like you even more. . Speak to the man, so we can arrange it. We can always try and make it into the "year end function" we had last year at Willowbridge Dros
Wannabe Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 That sounds like a great plan. Now to get the other chaps onboard.
Tiny K Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 That sounds like a great plan. Now to get the other chaps onboard. I think a lot of guys are available between Christmas and New Years - there are lots of businesses closing then. How about then? let us know ride spec and we can plan our lives around the ride?
Wannabe Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 We will have to let the weather / wind dictate to us, as to when. I'm in no mood to struggle for 130km into a howling SE . Will imagine it to be in the week between Christmas and New Years, as you suggested. We will have to get going early (05h00 'ish). Have a lekker Brunch in Hermanus, and spend the rest of the day in leisure. Can you "mapmyride" a route for us, say starting at Mugg 'n Bean Durbanville!? Let's see if one of the other guys respond.
'Dale Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Building on the 'year's end' idea and considering the summer winds from the South East: What about early lunch in Franschoek? SCENARIO 1D Ville > S West > Grabouw > Villiersdorp > Franschoek > EARLY LUNCH SCENARIO 2 D Ville > Polkadraai > Helz > Franschoek Pass > Turn-around point @ Villiers Dam > Franschoek Pass > EARLY LUNCH
Wannabe Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Can be considered, but I think we have been good enough all year. We deserve one windless day over the festive period, to do our long talked about ride to Hermanus.

What makes Franschoek more feasible is that it reduces the influence the wind has on organising the ride.
