<quote> Unfortunately this morning (8am) a mate and I were attacked within 100m of the R21 (between Centurion and Kempton Park). There were 4 atackers hiding in the grass and they they jumped out at us when we were so close that we could not react. They were armed with pire wrench, grass slasher homemade knife and ? I was targeted as I had a Camelback. The one with the pipe wrench hit me twice on the head (Bell saved me there as I did not suffer any physical damage) and then once next to the knee when I was on the ground. Also picked up a stab wound in the neck. They made off with my Scott Spark (black with white / gold trim), my Camelback and my mates Titan (Red) - so if anyone offers this cheap to buy it and I will buy it back.
Lessons from this; 1. Stay away from that area. 2. There were 3 of us, one was far enough back that he could avoid the situation but even if there had been 10 we would have been in the sh*!t. When you are so close you can forget about fumbling for the pepper spray... your hands are in front of you to protect you from their weapons so... stay away fron the area. Don's think there are enough emotions to express off but the main thing is to warn other cyclists that this is now a no go area. It is just a matter of time before there is another hit there. </unquote> russian, any word on your hijacked bike? c. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DarkAndDirty" group.
