Wannabe Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Wow, didn't know that it was your 10th.It is a big achievement.That it is. Now how do we get the weather to play along? B)
Giant TCR Adv Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 we are going out tomorrow morning 6am from Woolies in Durbanville - maybe Blouberg or Strand - will be back before 10:30am. Reply here if you want to join - we are currently 5 guys See u 6h00.
Tiny K Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 I'll be joining some newly found Wellington roadies - Jaco Fiets and co. Only starting at 6:45 so I am gonna do a Bains climb before the ride (they are looking at doing 1hr30) but one of the guys rides in Anderson Transport's SV team
'Dale Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 *Note to roadies*Resurfacing is now being done on the road passing Fisantekraal International Airport.My road machine had to chow some gravel for the 1st time this morning. *** It was stunning out there this morning. Shiny roads. Lil' drizzle to cool the core. No wind. This image is a westerly view from Adderley Rd.
Wannabe Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Went past there on Friday on my way to Mosselbay. They are working on the whole section of Klipheuwel / R302 almost all the way to the Fisantekraal turnoff. Stuffing up my training route / loop bigtime . Where the hell are we now going to find a safe stretch of road? Anybody knows how long they are going to be busy? Not complaining too much, as in the end we will benefit with a resurfaced road that will (hopefully) be a better ride.
dommisse Posted January 23, 2012 Author Posted January 23, 2012 Who is doing "Bouckaert-Soenen Road"I've never done this before - looks like a difficult one!?
Wannabe Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Who is doing "Bouckaert-Soenen Road"I've never done this before - looks like a difficult one!? Nope. Will do training ride instead.
'Dale Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Who is doing "Bouckaert-Soenen Road"I've never done this before - looks like a difficult one!? I plan to be there, DD...It's a good challenge. And if you're preparing for the 99er, it is good too.

Cippo Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 That is hard news to hear this morning...Where is he hospitalised? As far as I know he was taken to Constantiaberg.
Wannabe Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 G, if / when you go and see Chris, please keep us updated.Things like this diminishes my taste for cycling. Already told my wife I think this will be my last Argus, might just "wing" it this year and then just cycle sociably (very sociably)
'Dale Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Chris, below, in orange jersey, fixing his puncture on the 99er recce ride on the last day of 2011... Prayers to you, man.
dommisse Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 My prayers also go out to Chris and his family - hope I can cycle with you soon again!Guys please update here if you hear anything about his condition
