Wannabe Posted March 5, 2011 Author Posted March 5, 2011 How did it go? Any lekka pics? Feeling left out? We missed you out there.
Wannabe Posted March 5, 2011 Author Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) To all the guys (and gals) who were there, THANKS. It was a stunning ride, stunning weather, stunning people. Was good putting faces to the names, hope to see you guys soon again.Hope the pace was not too hard for some, although I tried my best to stick to my resolution, and took it fairly slow. Still ended with a avg of just under 27km/h. Lets pray we have the same kind of weather next week, as Boyes Drive was not as fearsome without the wind. Edited March 5, 2011 by Wannabe
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Feeling left out? We missed you out there.Na, happy to be at home and be still in after two weeks of ongoing travel.
Wannabe Posted March 5, 2011 Author Posted March 5, 2011 Na, happy to be at home and be still in after two weeks of ongoing travel. So true, important to spend some time at home with missus and dogs.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Fakes gave me an early morning call trying to get hold of the bunch. Did you all find him and his chommies?

Eugene Oppelt Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Yes, we did meet up with them. Cool - he is one of my favourites riders.
Wannabe Posted March 5, 2011 Author Posted March 5, 2011 Yeah, they all are nice guys. Got to meet Tjommies too.
I-FELT-the-FORCE Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Ay AB, you were missed man.... one highlight is that ex Scultura Rider 'felt the force' and then it left him (he took shortcut over black hill in glencairn and had coffee in Noordhoek - and did chappies 4 times waiting for us). Check my link - over an hour of stoppage time but was OK, just hope it doesn't affect the legs for 'mass fun ride' next weekend. I did however do a lot of high intensity hill work, to the degree that my lungs were burning at the top of SB.... but it's a good feeling I guess. Someone did take pics at the top of chappies but I can't remember who.... oh well - the pictures will surface (i hope) Your Bum man! I was struggling with that moving average you guys were keeping up, so decided to just be a man and stay within my limitations..... ..... Good for me to get to do Chappies a few times though, now know it like the back of my hand..... Sorry I couldnt let you suck my wheel anymore up there on my 4th repeat , but I was getting tired then ...It was really great meeting up with you guys, had a super time and really awesome to put faces to the names....Just a word of advice for those next weekend..... Rather hope that the wind is blowing, cause my word, Suikerbossie with NO wind in the heat..... Well, to put it nicely..... its sh**T HOT!!!!

So you've made Chappies a bit flatter for us for next week!?
I-FELT-the-FORCE Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Well done. So you've made Chappies a bit flatter for us for next week!? I tried :clap:. YOU were flying up there though anyway, so you wouldnt have a problem if it was flatter or not
Tiny K Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Your Bum man!
