Bicycling 24 hour

[THABA TRAILS]

Just an update for those of you considdering but not deciding to do the 24 hour this year. Once again Dimitri of Omni-motion is organising the event for Bicycling. As trail host we are asked so often about the trails for this year... well what must we do? If it rains we complain and when it is dry we complain... so we have taken both options into account this year. As we have a better idea of the lie of the land we are attempting to avoid the harsh muddy patches..after all it's not so cool having to hear the complaints and also the damage to your bikes. We have built an ablution block that I am sure will make you all happy. The wash bay is a must but I hope we don't need to use it for the same reasons as last year..I have talked Dimitri into allowing a "MASTERS CHALLANGE". The format will be as follows..combined age of 220years for four members. That means either 4 members of 55years, but can be a permetation of any ages..we are 1 x 61 1x 60 1x49 and 1x50 the total 220.Each rider must do a minimum of 3 hours riding.So come on guys get your mates motivated..there is a new floating trophy for the winners...Then the BIG news.....Omni-motion and The Cycle Hub are bringing out Tinker Juarez. For those of you who don't know this legend go check it out by googleing his name. I met him at the recent Worlds in Brazil and after chatting we got excited at the prospect of having this legendry ultra rider visit us at "The Vlei Cycle Park" We are planning a "Night Ride with Tinker" for Thursday the 3rd December,after which we will have a panel discussion for questions and answers and then a "Boerie roll and coke". Just to show this man some South African hospitality.
