Eugene Oppelt Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Nice pics... SirK is a machine, and he rides a nice machine as well Yeah, the only way to get ahead of him to the top was to tell him that we are not playing "King Of The Mountain; King Of The Mountain..." today...Otherwise, he just switches on those pistons and zzziiiiiiippppp!
dommisse Posted March 15, 2011 Author Posted March 15, 2011 To Airbender: are we continuing riding through winter? I'm thinking about joining city cycles - they do Saturday and Sunday rides in nice big groups
Tiny K Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 To Airbender: are we continuing riding through winter? I'm thinking about joining city cycles - they do Saturday and Sunday rides in nice big groups Where are they based? Plan was to go through winter but didn't have fixed plans yet. Airbender in JHB so he might only get to respond later today..
MariusL Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Where are they based? Plan was to go through winter but didn't have fixed plans yet. Airbender in JHB so he might only get to respond later today.. City ride from the BP garage in Letchworth Drive - Edgemead...
Wannabe Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Also plan to ride through winter. Maybe not every weekend, but I plan to stay active. Will be doing some Mtb races also. Will be nice to ride with you guys.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 To Airbender: are we continuing riding through winter? I'm thinking about joining city cycles - they do Saturday and Sunday rides in nice big groupsDD, Cannot count on me for organising consistent winter rides.My travel demands are too high for the next while. I will call for the occassional 120 - 140 kms Long Steady Distance rides. Hope to see you there.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Hey, hey, hey... Well done you all on some superb results in the grand ol' Argus - everyone I know here arrived safely and achieved cool finishing times. SirK, your top 10 finish in E was a superb result! And a special shout over to Helderberg Basin for Headhunter - heal quickly after your incident before Little Chappies.
Tankman Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 And a special shout over to Helderberg Basin for Headhunter - heal quickly after your incident before Little Chappies. What happened? Havent seen or heard anything from him? There has been a lot of talk about the big old Argus on the hub of late, might be a good time to mention that it is probably one of the Best organized one day Classics on our road calender! Big up to the organizers
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 What happened? Haven't seen or heard anything from him?What I heard is that K T braked to avoid a pedestrian at the bottom of Little Chappies, was bumped from behind and crashed over into another rider. Broken hand and gashes and a 3:16 finish. His last post said he was very Eina!
Tankman Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Hectic! What was the pedestrian doing in the road? Will send him a get well soon tube and tire lever now!
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Yeah, Tank...Give the brother some TLC.His Spez could still be in hospital too. Headhunter, howzit on the recovery path, man?
Tiny K Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 I might be a bit misinformed - see his post here: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/100895-argus-group-g-3hr-bus/page__st__40__p__1363604__hl__headhunter+hand__fromsearch__1#entry1363604 Well he is back at work AFAIK. Spez has a bit of damage too. Edit: He has been very quiet lately....
