Yip one with a patch on it !

Tube Toolkit pomp 1st aid kit Duck Tape Old banana from Transbaviaans Two packets of smokes Compass Map book

Never leave home without camelpack , and I got a Big one .

Hi-jack - Are there any races out there not affiliated to CSA ?

Surely you will just throw all this in the bin .

R450 then you keep the e-tag . This will be without the brand new 2.6 that is on it !!

Make me an offer I don't understand .

Mmmmm nope , XT . THink it's black with the some white !

Yip got a 20mm T/A front wheel lying around .

510 another one of those things sales people wants you to have . Still prefer my orange Asics running shoes to my very expensive "flat pedal / skate board / BMX shoes " . But in the end of the day , you cycle in what you feel comfy in .

It just makes it so much more fun and easier . Running around the pub after a MTB ride is those stupid shoes wasn't fun at all . Before I would not just jump on the bike to go down to the shops , now I jump on the bike if I need to go to the school meeting !! I suppose if you a top racer cleats does help but for the middle of the field people it help nothing .

Ok must be a SlaapStad thing , they are a bit snobbish on that side . I changed from cleated to Flats about 2 years ago and to be honest don't think I will go back again .

The same old story every year . But it is only Rxxxx.00 per year . I don't care if it is R1 a year . WHAT DO I GET FOR MY MONEY ?

NO you where the only black dude on a bike .

Wasn't gonna mention it but that was really so stupid and dangerous . And it wasn't just one , a few tried to turn it into some sort of race . Turnout was good .

Lack of training !!! Bikes was used in Nam in the early 80 .

Shoot the bastards dead . If he pulls a knife he intents to use it .

Will do it again , nice outing for the boys . But first lets do the Trans Draak end of Feb and take it from there .

Just in time for the weekend

Wash !!!!

Not to sure about the message but I assume you are saying only ride your bike in perfect weather on well manicured trails ? Your pads will wear down faster in muddy conditions , your drive train not that much , just try not to change gears to much and you will be fine .

It would be great if everybody gets together for the Klapperkop ride .

Maybe in Somerset , not in Gauteng . My neighbors son was stabbed in the arm 4 months ago and his bike was taken from him . He was on his way to school in Centurion . Traffic is not my concern , like you said , that something you can learn (and should) a kid about , but you cannot do anything about the crime in this place .

Those days have gone . You cannot let your kid cycle to school anymore .
