03/03/2018 – Looking for gravel

Seeing that we are planning a Lesotho trip in April the need to “get the Gravel legs out” had me looking at some local gravel routes on Saturday morning. As this was a very spur of the moment ride I was going to go solo.

I threw the Dustriders hoist on the back – just 4 in case!  Fortunately not needed on the day. Some ice-cold water in the top box and a energy bar if I needed that and the preparation was complete.

So here we go. My first ride report, hopefully the first of many!

So Im just doing a brief introduction on my experience on riding bike, I think many might share the same experience as a novice.........

Call-up papers were sent out to the club at short notice and 8 bikes responded, with a 9th joining us as we were departing the start point.

On the 4th August I saw a hole appear in my schedule for Sunday 7th so, I posted an invitational ride for Sunday the seventh.

Some of us had a ball at the 2013 Christmas lunch.  'n paar fotos om die gees te wys.

The day started nice and cool,,, and early ...Getting out of bed,,,

You may wonder why so many ladies events on 1 weekend.

This was to be a follow-up ride for the basics training session the day before.

A few ladies booked, then cancelled - 1 overslept, the other's bike ran out of water (or shall I say coolant) (ahem) the day before... and there was the mist....

Then there were the sudden bookings....

So I said to Andy, well I'm going to lead the ride regardless of numbers and at least try out the new restaurant I'd booked.  Although I must say, when I booked, I told them I was expecting 5 or at a push 10.

We are off to see NITE FEVER, a 70's Celebration, a full live show reliving music from the 70's, which most of us should remember , and we will be sitting right in front. For our very first official club social , we have block booked the best 100 seats in the house for Friday night 1 July 2011 at the Barnyard Theater, Willowbridge Shopping Centre. The show starts at 20h00.
