On another note:
If this ride gets anywhere near 100 riders there will be an expectation that people be pretty self sufficient.
When a ride has 30-odd people it isn't a big deal to stop for a puncture. With heaps more riders it isn't fair to stop the whole train for 1 rider.
We will be going rather slow and stopping for people every 2-3 kilometres. This is a **Social Ride and Tour of East London **so don't expect a race.
If you get a flat, you fix it and catch up (quite easy) or roll on your rim till the next stop. (buy Schwalbe Marathon Plus = Never puncture)
If all goes to plan this will be a great days social ride(bring beer).
