Which group was on Hill St, Greenside at 6am?

[I FLY]

This morning I did hill repeats on Hill St. On the way down after one repeat, I had to ride in the gutter as a group of riders coming up were spread over both lanes.

 

They had a following vehicle so I assume they are part of a bikeshop ride. It was not a Cyclelab vehicle as it was a small, gray bakkie.

Sounds like Northcliff?

Dunno to be fair though.

Why not chat to them there and then? Why come and post the rant here?

@ Coenie - No problem.

 

They were not wearing the black and white kit of Northcliff Cycles

[Daniel XTR]

THat rules them out then.

Carry pepper spray and zap them. Oh and make sure you can then outsprint the biggest guy!!!

Grey/black bakkie... any yellow in the kit/bakkie... then Peaceforce?

@ Nathrix - no, road bikes but a few of them were on mountain bikes. Maybe they are not used to roadies acknowledging their presense so they were stunned into silence

If the car was a bakkie it was the Dunkeld Cycles bunch...

 

Also they're quite a mixed bunch with no distintive kit. Mostly road bikes with some mountain bikes. A lot of social riders so they're quite likely to be all over the road.

If you have a friend with you just make sure you can outsprint him

Hill street is at best a drag - anyone using that road as "hill" repeats can't be expected to be taken serious.
