SBR Hub Ride - 9 Jan 2010

[Slave]

I know hills make you strong but for the fast one you need to be focussing on speed.

 

SBR is great for 94.7. Not so good for Fast one.

[Wayne Potgieter]

I rode SBR yesterday.

 

 

 

It was TORTURE.

 

 

 

Pushed too hard and got sick on the side of the road. Stupid damn hills.

 

 

 

Got to see some Kudu and Baboons though.Wayne_Potgieter2010-01-04 04:18:41

Also rode yesterday. No, not the reserve. That wind was cruel. Added to which, the bunch dropped my slowpoke lazy ass and I had to battle it out solo.

 

I need to do some long fast stuff in prep for the fast one. No SBR rides for me for the foreseeable future. I should be riding somewhere close to SBR on Saturday (weather permitting).

 

Hey GO. Maybe we should do that loop we did the other day and go past SBR on the way. Like go out and do the cheese factory loop, go past SBR a la Fast one, up to Meyerton nd then home via Henley. Should be a good 120 km of fast flats.

SO... I'm getting flak every time there is a SBR ride coz I'm not joining in. Now I have the time AND the inclination, now all the eye witnesses suddenly have something else / beter to do?

 

hmmmm.... pansies if you as me!

[Andyr249]

I agree with Slave on this one. As such I am riding with Slave on a longer ride.

[Slave]

Ox, SBR is an awesome ride. It really is. Not many places I would rather ride but I need time, speed and distance rather than hellish climbs. AS I live n the doorstep of SBR, I can ride there any time I want. Just not into doing it this weekend.

 

SBR is great for almost any training except for speed. And one lap is only 57 km (of mega climbs) Besides, I did it a few weeks ago.

 

For the next few weekends, I will be opting for speed and distance.

[Thug]

Slave, here is a solution.

 

 

 

Saturday - ride Sugarbush.

 

Sunday - race Stonehaven.

[flex]

That actually sounds like a plan, Thug.

[Slave]

Hey Thug. Good to see ya again mate. Sounds like a fair plan bit it too has it's problems and limitations.

Long ride Saturday, Long ride Sunday. Same again for me next weekend. Don't get me wrong, I love the sugarbush place. Really awesome. I just have a bit of a mental block and I need to test the new bike there, but for now, I just want to do some speed drills.

 

I do enough of the hills and things during the week. Hopefully this storm that is brewing will be over soon so I can go for a late arvie ride.

[Thug]

No late arvie ride for me, it's currently bucketing down and I don't fancy getting wet, twice in one day.

[Guest Agteros]

Another plan: SBR on Saturday and Babbas on Sunday

 

[Andyr249]

Os, you think Slave is going to do Babbas on his hybrid with slicks?

[Cyclewizz]

Can't believe you wont be there Andy, good thing you changed your signature.

 

Ox, it's an easy ride - lots of downhills.

 

I just hope the weather clears..

[Andyr249]

I have other training objectives and want a proper training ride. SBR this Saturday just won't cut it. Come ride with Slave and I, Kid! I think Slave is also getting GO.

[DomJBo]

Andy, Kid is my ride to the reserve, don't convince him other wise.

 

 

 

If you ask me slave doesn't sound to confident about doing hills!

[Guest Agteros]

 

Os' date=' you think Slave is going to do Babbas on his hybrid with slicks?[/quote']

 

Why not? He does need 'off-road' training for that Kruger ride he wants to do
