Enjoy U2!! Yeah, I didn't check da hub either last night so I didn't see you post I said to AB that it was you, he said really?, I said, well it looked like him.
Tiny K Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 BMC Fan, I pulled out of the ride because of the thick fog. Deemed it too dangerous to ride in (if you almost get knocked over on a clear day, what will/might happen in the dark and mist!?)Did sms SirK to advice him of me not going to rock up. Boet, you missed out on a great ride! Was no mist other side of the mountain - and we were near your hill at 1hr 30 mark so you would have been on time for work.
Wannabe Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Boet, you missed out on a great ride! Was no mist other side of the mountain - and we were near your hill at 1hr 30 mark so you would have been on time for work.Just my luck. Next time maybe.

Was no mist other side of the mountain - and we were near your hill at 1hr 30 mark so you would have been on time for work.Total ascent more than 1100 metres...Malanshoogte, back of Vissershok, Tiekiedraai, Jip de Jager, a few smaller climbs back to Vierlanden... SirK,Again, thanx for coming out from Wellington to be such lekka company on this lung-bursting training ride.
Wannabe Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Had a nice ride out on the Bottelary road, light resistance, high cadence. Met up with BigJ-WP and the Andrag bunch on the way back. Weather was very good, hoping for more of the same tomorrow.
Guest Frail4Life Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Anybody Riding Tuesday and Thursday morning?David 0714067007
Tiny K Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 I will be riding out Wellington way this week and from Wellington to St Helena bay on Friday.
Cyclejourno Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 We try ride every saturday am leaving at 8am, 6 or so of us, average about 25 to 28kmph we ride anything from 60 to 100kms depending on how we feel, send me a pm.I'd also like to join you guys.
'Dale Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 I will be heading out this weekend for medium distance over 2.0 to 2.5 hrs incorporating climbing segments and high-tempo sections.Avg speed 30km/h.Typical start time 0600 on Sat and Sun.Routing to be determined. Sent me a note if you wanna join me.
Wannabe Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Want to do a 2hr ride on Sat, but 06h00 is too early. Want to catch up on some lost sleep. Will go out at about 08h00. Just some feedback on my "dead legs syndrome". Listened to my buds with the knowledge (thanks G and K ), got me something to help with my sleeping problems. Slept well for two nights, and went out this morning at 04h30, feeling refreshed and ready to go. Picked a "hilly" route (Jip de Jager from Majik's side, up Hendrik Potgieter, Plattekloof, Tiekiedraai, past Race Course and onto Durban rd, past Tygervalley and back home up Van Riebeekshof rd). Felt a bit "pap" at the beginning, but once I got into my rhythm all went well. Completed the route still feeling good, and avg up by almost 2km/h compared to my previous rides on the same route. Legs feeling good, no fatique or stiffnes. Things are looking on the up for me. Let's see what Sunday's race holds. Quite a number of climbs, will be a good tester.

I am arriving late from JHB on Fri eve.Extra Zzzz and 'easy early morning time' would benefit me too on Sat. I can walk my dogs before I walk the Cannondale as well. Wannabe, would you consider a 07h30 start with me?
