goofs Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 So that's where you were and not at the Bunny Park race Scotty smileys/smiley36.gif
IanJ Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Ewep, what about Suikerbosrand if you want to go south?I am keen for this weekend. Ewep you have to be there cos the Sister has to make food for us (she did such a good job last time).
Guest Michelle Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Why don't you head out to Mpumulanga for the Graskop Hill Champs? smileys/smiley15.gif
ewep Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 I'll be there IanJ, but the sister is working this weekend, soneone has to pay for my addiction smileys/smiley15.gifsmileys/smiley15.gifsmileys/smiley15.gifsmileys/smiley15.gifsmileys/smiley15.gifsmileys/smiley15.gif. Suikerbos, hmmm, you really wanna kill me, but it's ok. BigBen will just have to meet us or explain to me how to ride when inside the reserve. And once again, I'll do it at my OWN (read FLIPPING SLOW) pace.
slowpoke Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 ianj, i'll bake some something... (not another choccie cake though - i have to keep those for special occasions smileys/smiley2.gif)
NotSoBigBen Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Hey guys and girls, I see my name popping up every now and then so here goes! I will not be able to do much riding this weekend as most know I did the Vets 4 day tour over the last weekend. My dear wife seconded and massaged and washed kit and followed riders and made carbo loading food / drinks etc etc etc.I have promised that this weekend it's her weekend and I will do whatever she wants. She has pretty much planned it in advance so no riding other than perhaps an early MTB Sat and Road Sun for max 2 hours.However I would suggest that ewep's idea of meeting at Meyersdal, down Swartkoppies, Lido circuit, out to Kareekloof is good! From there I would go through the Suikerbosrand nature reserve (it's a tough climb but manageable!) and go straight out the other side. Go left at the bottom of the last descent, out the gate and then left at the T-Junction. If you follow that road straight it takes you back onto the Lido circuit. I will try to provide a profile and a bit of a map that might help!
Team SL Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Your long ride for the 16th needs a name change"the cookie ride"smileys/smiley36.gif
ewep Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 I will try to provide a profile and a bit of a map that might help! Would be nice BB, I know the road to Kareekloof, but as soon as I'm through the gates, I'm LOST!!!
IanJ Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Ok lets make it a Sunday ride then, meet at Meyersdal and then we'll see what Big Ben can come up with as far as a map is concerned. I also don't want to go too far on Sunday (its not in my training programme). Maybe 2-3 hours or so.I also think we should start a new thread. Ewep it was your idea, please start a new thread for this Sunday.
slowpoke Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 cool, i've made a bit of progress with playing with my garmin so let's see what the toy can do... need details of the route as soon as it's ready smileys/smiley2.gif
