PeeWee: I second your suggestion to make this a monthly ride' date=' great training and no traffic to dodge bar the occasional Wildebeest or Eland. When we seeing the pics or do I need to pester Cervelo for that.

I did Sugarbush for the 1st time on Sat with Daemon, Flash, Thyolo (Joe Low) and another mate Shaun.

 

Was supposed to do 2 laps but ended up only doing the one and had a relatively easy ride.

 

Some nice climbs !

Hey y'all

 

Thanks for a great time on Saturday! Thumbs%20Up (yes I said it 'great time' even though it hurt like hell and I'm so stiff today I can hardly walk Cry)

 

It was great meeting some new hubbers!!

 

Thanks to all the boys for waiting for us girls at the back and for those who came back to help and encourage to get up those hills, you guys are great!!Hug

 

Also thanks to some of the guys again for the ride on Sunday, that was just as nice, the wind was nasty but the ride was great and the company even better!

 

And thank you Delgado for the very generous donation for FORA, I will be going and buying lots of food this week and will drop it off, I will PM you a pic or two. Thanks again!!!!Thumbs%20Up

 

Ok so I never thought I would say this about Sugarbush - but when we going again?? This time I'll have a nice new light bike to tackle those hills on!!!Big%20smile

Just to let everyone know.....

 

I managed to get hold of ShaunH and he has been bed ridden since friday eve. He only got out of bed this afternoon for the first time and is still very sick.

 

Keep him in your prayers guys because he has really had a rough time health wise lately.
