RE: [GreatCycling] pauls response

Hi Richard

 

Yes I would be interested and I’m sure I can get a few other cyclists who would be very keen. I haven’t been reading all these emails, so I’m assuming you’re talking about a ride and not a race – so something sociable?

Hi folks,

 

Before you all sign off, is anyone interested in the idea of a small, privately organised ride from George to Swellendam via Oudtshoorn, Calitzdorp, Ladysmith, Barrydale.  My idea is to use B & B's.  First, drive over the route, in reverse, from Swellendam to George, dropping off small parcels of clothes at each B & B.  Then park the car at George and ride to Swellendam, stopping each night at the B & B's.  On arriving at George, either park the bikes and ride by coach back to George or use the Bazz bus which, I think takes bikes.  This is just an idea, nothing fixed yet, maybe November this year?

 

Anyone interested??

 

Regards  Richard Warnes.

Hey Christo et al,

Yes the website has been quiet and I have been having a lovely break from constant travelling – doing some pedalling (sometimes on my gorgeous new tandem/triple)

On my favourite road in Aus http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=VjkjLaDcIRI
and and spinning some plates on cycle projects in Aus. The Mpum ride did take place (here are some pics http://picasaweb. google.com/ paultmckay/ ChrisSGmpBRPics. Had about 100 peddlers and was a jolly nice trip – no floods and everything worked.

We don’t have firm plans and dates for the next gig in SA yet (personally I liked the pedal I did along the coast a couple of years ago – mossell Bay, still bay, Witsand, Aniston, Gans Baai..). Initially, I not intended to be flying over and pulling the events together – rather to show another person or group how to do it all. (We reckon we know lots about the rides but trying to run them remotely is fraught – particularly given the vagries and unique history and culture/s of South Africa). That hasn’t eventuated to date and I have resolve not to schedule the next event/s still we have identified the right person/people to support. I remain confident that this will happen within a year or so.

So I reckon its ok to ditch the list and when we reactive – we can resurrect it. Thanks Christo for all your help with this – you have been fantastic (and I have a smile of appreciation in my heart when I recall your whisper at the wine shop with the brocken bus and I arrive all concerned and trying to sort things out – you called me aside and said “this is not a problem Paul” amidst increasingly rowdy and lubricated revellers).

Thanks for that and all your help and support Christo and others on the list. And in the meantime – if any of you are popping over to Melbourne and want to know where to ride – sing out eh.
