  1. Very sad. Strengh to the family's and friends!
  2. This is truly SAD news. I wish the family of the cyclist and the driver and his family strengh in this dificult time. Even though it might be his fault, I'm sure he didn't wake up this morning and dicided to take out a group of cyclist. How many times don't we overtake somebody on the road and don't take a chance by doing so, because we dont have the patience to wait for 30 seconds before over take someone when it's safe to do so. Tryly a SAD, SAD day.
  3. Go to this website www.chainreactioncycles.com and buy the groupset you want. Then go and buy the shock as well from them. Go to your bike shop and buy the frame you want. Have a look at doing it this way you might be supprized with the money you save, and will allow you maybe to upgrade the frame or wheelset even.
  4. Hi Frosty, how often do you guys do the Alberton to reseve back to alberton loop?
  5. Well by the look of things you will at least be doing a 50km plus at the straight at cape point. Last year when I got to the top of cape point the wind took me to 50km without me peddling.<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
  6. But then again you are a sub three rider...................
  7. Hi Tankman You can activate the base package which is sabc1,2,3 and e-tv it will also give you channel 112 and botswana T.V. as well as supersportblitz for R225 per year. At least you will be able to see the sports highlights and the news..
  8. I cancelled my subs last month and activated the "entry" package which is SABC1,2,3, e-tv, channel 112 and botswana tv as well as supersportblitz. At least can watch sports highlights. Cost R225-00 per year!
  9. So we have determined thast their is two entrances, the old karee kloof one that will take you to the caravan park and the "day visitors" side with the swimming pool and the speed slides. The second one is past klipriver and tokoza which coming from r59 you take the heidelburg offramp and turn left and keep going straight which will bring you to the Pretea gate on your right or am I smoking the pipe?
  10. O so they can cater for the "local soccer supporter" with the cheaper packages but not for the "rugby-cricket-cycling" supporter. How can they create the cheaper packages but not create a package for anybody elso. Lets just say it's the previous goverments problem and forget about it. R600 x 12 months=R7200. x 10years+R72000-00 x 3(30 years in total)=R216 000-00 At least 4 very good bikes you could of bought over thirty years
  11. Thanks for the advise guy's. I want to start my buildup for a sub 3 hour 94.7 and with saying that I need to brush of 27 min from my previuos results. As well the company I'm working for is entering the double century(sub 7 hours) so I need to fit these two races into my training goals. Who would be able to help me with some sort of advise. GO 3.0 any help? Should I start with LSR at this stage and do some SBR in between or ................?
  12. Do you suggest doing the SBR on it's own first and then if the legs hold up try to do the lido long and the whole SBR route and cycle home from there.
  13. If I go in at karee kloof side will I be able to access the sbr route or will it be easier to start at the protea hotel side? or are they one and the same entrance
  14. So I haven't tried the SBR route yet but it sounds like a mountain that I need to get chipping at to break my 3 hour 94.7. Is it possible to do the Long lido loop and then incorporate SBR into it and then still make it back home in four hours? Let me know....... Slave I'm sure you will love this when you can get back into the saddle. Will the ditance be then 140KM? for the ride
  15. I just read the whole thread, YOUR SHI..TING ME! I couldn't believe it BWHAA-HAA
  16. LOL. If it's your first Argus you need to stop to enjoy the race, no need to grab and go dude. If you are riding for a catagory win, yes then pull a TDF but dude you need to enjoy the ride and with that comes stopping at least twice, once to drink at simons town and the second at the top of cape point, or at the water point just over the top of chappies. ENJOY!!!!!! Tachymeter2010-02-26 01:40:51
