Hi Alex,

I am also based in Jhb (Midrand to be precise). I am keen to meet fellow riders, especially those who have done it before. Some of us are not sure what we have let our self in for and it will be nice to have a chat with the “veterans”. Only started cycling a month ago, so not sure if I will be fit.

I see on Facebook that we are now 7 “confirmed attendees”. I am sure that we can communicate here on the  GWBR Forum and on Facebook.

I learned a new term today, thanks to Paul McKay -  (The Luddites were a social movement of British textile artisans in the early nineteenth century who protested against the changes produced by the Industrial Revolution, which they felt threatened their livelihood. - I Googled it . )

Paul, I will try to compile some instructions for Facebook , but the best way to get to know it is to dabble with it ! 

I will be back in Joburg on the 18th of October and maybe all our Joburgers / Pretorianers  could set up a group ride - pub evening - braai - get -togeter thing ?

Joe
