List Updated and a little pic of the venue...

Montague Lunch Ride Venue

Hi All,

Sundays seem to be rainy of late, so looking towards this Sunday the weather looks rather strange...It says cloudy with rain and very hot? Montague has rated temp of 30, but cloudy. So lets see how things go, get those rain suites out just in case. I will however be seeing my local wiseman this afternoon and doing the tradional scientifically designed Please Dont Let it Rain on Sunday (PDLRS) dance! 

More importantly, Lunch options will follow tomorrow, but there is a vegaterian friendly option available to that is just as delicious. 

Take Care Folks

Hi All,

Time is coming closer for the weekends ride. So what can we expect when we arrive??

How about some fresh breads and rolls with pâtés? Yes? How about some chicken Cordon Bleu with a mushroom or cheese sauce with veg and baby potatoes or sales and wedges?? Or maybe some farm style large pie (venison, chicken, lamb or babotie) wih veg and potatoes or salad and wedges. Or some quiche for those who don't want meat. And to wash it down?? Colddrink, tea or coffee, you decide. 

They also stock a wide variety of home made jams, mustards and all things nice!!

Currently we have 10bikes coming through so plenty of space still!!  

This will also be my first ever ride with the club, riding solo and looking forward to it.

According to Accuweather, Yr.no and my wife's barometer, the weather should be acceptable on Sunday, not that you should take any weather advise form me anymore.

Now am I really "biked out" is the question.

John, can we just pitch at the rondezvous if we decide we feel like riding over the weekend, and if I finish my new "to do list".

Hi Folks,

First off.....TGIF!!! What a week!!

Now to business section...As our Chief (Warren) mentioned, the weather is looking good, I have looked at 3 weather sites and spoken to my Oom in area and we should have good weather. Montague is going to be hot, but getting there may be a little cooler! Eitherway, we will be riding!!

Lastly, if Sunday morning comes along and you feel like riding, come on through and enjoy the day with us!! Just be at the meeting point by 07h30!

So just to recap important details:

Ride Type: On Road

Destination: Montague, The Oude Kombuis Kelder Restaurant

Starting Point: The normal spot, Engine Garage on Plattekloof Road

Departure Time: 07h55 (Brief at 07h30)

Costs: R85 p/p for a full lunch (something sweet included!)

Duration: Day Ride (this is to Montague, and we will be enjoying the ride there)

Hi Guys,

Since there are a few new people riding, if any of you need to get hold of me before Sunday with extra questions, please feel free to contact me @: 082 938 2525

Thanks

John

I will write the report this evening, but I want to say thanks to all those who did join us on the ride. A few weekends (Sunday's) in a row now we have had rain, after a Saturday that was awesome! However, this didnt damper the spirits of a few determined riders! We rode through, Rain, Wind (really strong at times), Mist and even some sun! 

Our two new riders, Eldred and Karin, you did great and looking forward to seeing you on the next rides. 
Then lastly, to our two Brits....Mike and Chris....Thanks for the laughs! Having two old school Brits along, from "rival" ends of London makes for awesome banter and a little history lesson too!

Trip report to pop up late this evening!
Again, thank you too All!

John
