  1. Update: Riyadh airport (King Kalid International) do not allow any large parcels (including bike boxes) through the airport after recent terror attacks in Saudi. Be warned!!
  2. I travelled on Emirates on 12 May'16 to Dubai and Rijadh with my bike box and had no issue as my total weight were within the limits. Returning end of month and hoping not to have any issues.
  3. Great cannot wait for my 2nd one. Things to do/think differently than first time: 1. Stop worrying, it is really not that hard 2. Don't pack the complete Spar in, there is more than enough food provided 3. First 110km pace can be upped, then relax and take it easy (if you are climber) 4. Enjoy more than one cup of soup at Bergplaas and enjoy the sunset 5. Pack your face full with jaffels at the last water point - best jaffels ever AND lastly remember, this is the best race there is!!
  4. Jip, will never take part in any ASG event any more! If you think professional womans cycling dissapeared fast in SA, wait until ASG have a monopoly on all races in SA and see what happens. We need to grow the sport not exploit it!
  5. Also visited them recently, great shop.....now to start saving!
  6. Well done Pieter1!, I am now on week 4. Stopped cold turkey one morning. Only downside, I gained 7kg in 3 weeks
