Just a correction. I think it was Leon fixing that spoke. I cannot take credit for that. That job was way too professional for my limited skills! Thanks Nicolai van der Merwe Aka TheRussian.

Maybe it had to do with being Oupa Gert's birthday - riders turning up to celebrate his birthday or maybe anticipating some cupcakes ? A number of pleas to take it easy on the not-so-fit-first-spring-riders softened my heart and promised to do an easy 20km. First stop Ecstasy park already brought out the adventurous spirit with a few attempting the drop off for the first time (down and up). A bit of a fast pace on to merry-go-around-roundabout waiting for everyone to catch up. Bruce joined us on foot and the mtbker's had a bit of an edge on him on the more flat sections. Ezekiel's drop off was next stop with some dubious glances at this monster, however the smiles of those coming down was contagious and soon some riders tried it for the first time, doing a lot better than poor old Ezekiel. Wash and go is no longer the challenge it used to be as has been cleaned up and graded - will see when the rain comes. Out and back on our favourite single track Phython, great as always, especially with the grass burnt down the pace was a lot more hectic. No volunteers for Quad buster signalled the return point and we headed back, with a mellow Tour de Tar speed section. At this point master sweeper/technician Russian came to the rescue of Michele fixing a broken spoke. As we finished off and started loading the bikes it was noticed that SOMEONE had a flat front tyre and a sore shoulder and a mumbling of a jump turn burping the tyre but not admitting to an ungraceful dismount.......... A dink at Spur was the end of another lekker group ride. There just may be cupcakes this week for a belated celebration :) Please indicate before Thursday 14h00 that you are coming so that we can know that there will be enough people for a safe ride. If you send me a message at 17h00, it is too late as I might have cancelled the ride already.
