99er Training Ride

['Dale]

Sheesh guys a 70km ride for a Saturday is not that great?! There won't be another chance to train the whole 99er distance as the Summer is packed with funrides, sometimes even two per weekend. I'll probably join you at 6am, but then do the whole 99er route on my own. If I feel fine I might even do another Wellington/Adderley loop of 40km. LSD.

I understand your point, andydude...

I intend to meet you tomorrow.

 

It is clear that the training needs are varying in this bunch.

Lets do a split ride then? Those that want to tackle the full, go for it. For those wanting to do the 70km, also, go for it. Meet up for a coffee maybe after? Anyone have a problem with that??

You should have stood your ground in the beginning there Airbender.... 'either you join the full route or you break off from the route on your own'.... maybe next time

[Spat]

Any rides planned for next weekend?

[I-FELT-the-FORCE]

OK, full route it is then!!!!

I am flexible in my invitation and is open to all possibilities...

 

Those who show up tomorrow with their iron horses, can shape the outcome!

Woofie, can you do the same from your side and let us attack the total route?

Looking forward to meeting you, Slipstream Sean...

Are we still sticking to the original LSD (Avg 25km/h)???? That is a 4hr and some mins ride. Dont want to bomb out and hold you guys up if it gets much higher than that...

[andydude]

Yes I believe so Scultura. If somebody feels brave they can climb harder and wait at the top or came down half-way and climb again. But we all start together at the top again.

 

See you guys tomorrow! Looking forward to meeting the faces behind the Hub names!

 

I assume it's 6am at the bottom circle where the Durbanville ride started.

['Dale]

I look forward to meeting some new riders tomorrow.
