Rock 'n' Roll
It is now... really early on a Friday morning, 2010
World Cup morning in fact, and it has fallen (hehehe) to me to write
this report.
Just shy of seven on the clock last night, about ten
like minded insaniacs pitched up at the MooMall ready to brave the
slightly... fresh, I believe the word was... conditions to do the famous
Rock 'n' Roll Dark 'n' Dirty route. After the usual "social ride nobody
gets left behind" speech by Hardy, we were off up the hill and onto
Cruiser.
You can say what you want, but Cruiser at speed is still
one of the more awesome tracks around :-)
After a quick pomp by Hardy - his rear tyre was squishy
- onto Vetseun, taking it easy near the top with all the very loose
rocks, and hen bombing it down to the stop street at Smuts Street. Then
loop back onto Beeg-Dipper, with some nice technical rumbly climbs. It
was somewhere up this where I earned the right to write this prose. I
managed to almost endo. On an uphill. But I settled for an inelegant
dismount. Unfortunately, my hands touched the ground, and someone was
there to see it...
Oh well :-)
Then onto Mielie Muure DH Rush, which was awesome!!! We
waited a while at the regrouping point for one guy (I believe it was
Willem-without-the-helmet) lost his light. Reattaching required some
innovative cable tie usage, and while it pointed somewhat sideway, it
didn't come off again.
I took the first speed zone up the hill next th the tar,
and then the other Leon took the second from the Shebeen.
Hardy took the third one to the Light At The End Of The
Tunnel (Vision). Then down Mineshaft SZ, but just after Blair Witch,
Hardy decided he was tired of pomping his rear tyre, and decided to
replace the tube. He whipped out a coffee thermos, and some plastic
cups, and we all cheered him on while he replaced his tube. Kudo's for
taking LATEOTT SZ with a full, seemingly never emptying thermos of sweet
milky coffee, by the way :-)
Next it was onto another awesome piece of singletrack,
then back into Irene at the cemement factory and onto Python. After tour
de Tar, where Mark came flying past me like I was looking for parking to
take the tiebreak SZ, which stuffed up all the stats, prompting Hardy to
call Quadbusta the tiebreak. This was taken by Leon Smith again, meaning
that the Leon's took 3 of the 6 SZ's :-)
Almost home, we hooked onto a piece of dirt road which I
have, in my capacity of Writer Of Report, have decided to call Chicanes,
and onto the first half of Cruiser, only in reverse.
We were back at the MooMall at 22:30, after 3:14 and 30
km.
Here is the track recorded last night. It was a bit
darker than the image though :-)
Thanks to all for a good good night...
