scotty Posted October 23, 2009 Share 35kmh is about right' date=' faster if characters like OB are there. The only thing missing from their rides are the timing mats. [/quote'] They a bunch of pansies, ride 50km then stop and have tea and biscuits, then 50 km home, ride is about 30 to 35kph, only fast part is the last 4 km down Atlas road. If you want to train, ride by yourself, if you want a social ride, go with TDF I've heard about the tea and biscuit thing but unfortunately keep missing that. Too slow Scotty? I know how you feel I can keep up most some on the odd occasion , but usually the group splinters and frans back up van does not always follow behind the last rider and i end up riding escourt for dropped souls.

Mighty Atom Posted October 23, 2009 Share I'm in Sunwardpark but will meet you anywhere. There used to be a group that started from the Engen(?) garage on Kingfisher, close to Rondebult Road in Freeway Park. I don't know if they are still around or what time they start though!blanc2009-10-23 06:58:32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look up a Hubber named Melissa - she (he) tried to con me into riding with her (him). Very suspect - Hubber joins today, has 0 posts and picks me to want to ride with her (him). Got my area wrong when I asked where she (he) was and said Sunward Park. Hey, maybe she (he) wants to tag along? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saint Posted October 23, 2009 Share It is normally about that on the way out, sometimes gets up to about 45km when the hormones kick in but Frans pulls it back very quickly. He does not like the group splitting on the way out. On the way back he lets the hormones do their thing but there is a slower group which forms at the back and at your speeds mentioned you should comfortable stay with them Come intro yourself on Sunday - ride leaves at 05:30am - I am on the best bike in the group a black BH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
