Where the heck have you been???? You been ignoring me have you, you did a serious distance, well done buddy. We gotta make a plan to meet up on the bike again Lovely day for a ride guys, how was the Race this morning?? Hi SR, Still doing my loops around Durbanville farms and on Saturdays ride with club.

If you were taking the pics, that can only mean that you and the "dale" got to the top before everyone else Well done
Tankman Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Any of you Durbanville guys wanna join me in cycling to Killarney tonight? Leaving from Tiekiedraai robots at 17:10
'Dale Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 SirK, Since you've ascented the most treacherous climb in Durbanville [No, TIekiedraai is not the toughest] which is Vissershok for the 1st time, You are now "officially" a member of the D Ville Roadie clan. Well done, man!So, what's your view of Vissershok?
Tiny K Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 A 'lil bit?! LOL. Off the top of my head, distance was 55Km, time was just over 2 hr - on the way back (at recovery pace) ave was 26.9Km Was lekker though! Thx AirBender for the great route. Need to do Vissershok again before the 99'er. See you guys in the mix this Sunday for one hell of a ride (those doing the bouckaert soenen).
Tiny K Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 U guys are a bunch of skinny runts leet22, who you calling skinny? I'll have you know I top the scales at 95Kg's It's hard work!

Well done, man!So, what's your view of Vissershok? Was good. What made it 'easier' was that the mist obscured the ascent so I never knew how much further I had to push. So in line with Dory (from 'Finding Nemo') it was a case of 'just keep pedaling, just keep pedaling' all the way up.

See you guys in the mix this Sunday for one hell of a ride (those doing the bouckaert soenen).I billed it as a 30 km/h AVG ride.If we went faster, we would have ridden for far less than 120 minutes.

Wannabe Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Thanks for lovely ride, guys.Pity you had to ease up a bit at times to allow me to get back into the group. Legs are tired from Sunday and yesterday morning's hill repeat session. Took Vissershok slow/ish, did not do Odendaals due to time constraints. Still had to negotiate Van Riebeeckshof and other small climbs up to my abode. Don't know if my Polar is out of wack, but I got home at an avg of just under 29km/h, 65km for the morning. What did you guys record?Not too shabby, Nige!! Was quite a rush to get ready and to work in time (Ok, was three minutes late)
