Well, I consider myself an expert in washing white rugby short so here goes: First of all remember that mud is in actual fact a bit fatty or greasy. So the doom and the preen will work, but what I do is rub al the stains in Sunlight dish washing liquid as that works like a charm ( by the way this also works for fat stains on clothes as well) And then soak in Omo (with the enzymes) hand wash. for a day and then wash as usual. If the material's wash specifications allow for a bit warmer water - do so Before washing it you can rub the stains a bit with your hands I try this before using the domestos In future never let it dry as that makes it worst. I used to wash those rugby shorts as soon as they came of the rugby field and had no problems after that. @Ricky bobby : Ek het ook altyd Domestos by die mengsel gegooi vir die rugby broeke, maar ek dink dit gaan dalk die materiaal van die fietsry hemde 'n knou gee

They obviously got confused. According to them you did the 94 at a speed of 10km/h. Quite a few with UNKNOWN starting groups in the 94.... probably all the first of the 54 ???? Or........could be that it was an off day for you.????

Yes that is what I found ..... and that is what made me wonder. Up till now I have been one of those lone rangers and hope that if I actually get the opportunity to ride in bunches, I can improve my time even more. I make a call on Sunday when I pass the PPA tent and see how long is the cue.

Is it really worth all the trouble upgrading? I can upgrade from S to O but thought I'll just wait for the new numbers next year?

What will be the expected average speed?

:lol:

No - one . Berry fell asleep waiting for me. Turns out me too was a bit tired from Sat day.

Well if our ave is faster than 25km/h I will pay the coffee afterwards.

That is exactly my point.

I have only been riding a few times more. I believe that there is no skill to riding down a hill very fast. The skill comes in when something goes wrong and you then have the experience to know how to rectify it without seriously bodily harm and that comes with time. So at this stage I focus on going UP the hills faster as I think that is safer. The rest will follow. in due time.

Nice !

Omo and some other brand has a new product on the market : washing powder in liquid. I find that if I use that and pour it on the sweaty parts on the shirt, rub it in a bit and wash it then, it comes out fairly fresh. How good this is on the long run , I don't know , but at least it smells better

Well you can be lucky you did, otherwise I do not think any one would have believed you! :lol:

Is this taken after they hit you on your head?

What he said

Wow you are lucky! But I guess you were active (as per training plan) for the last 32 years as well?

Here is a link which helps you to calculated the framesize fit calculator But that is as far as my knowledge goes.

No if it was inches I would be very very small. But yes, 6 feet (1.83m) is taller than you average women. But BIG ? now that is a whole new concept EDIT; But dare I mention that 6 inches for a man is big.

Me too 6" 72 kg unfortunately.....(for this ) I am a women. Edit : and for that I am sure I still need to loose a few

I don't know enough to comment except that I notice one is a large and the other two are medium. You need to look at the size too. Being 6ft myself, I ride a large, but your legs might be shorter than mine?

Ok after googling..... the peaks on mtb helmets are great for keeping branches and twigs out of eyes. The peaks are also a life saver if you have the misfortune of having what’s called a ‘face plant’. In this case the helmet can mean the difference between loosing teeth and just chipping a tooth.

It is actually there as a shield to keep debris kicked up from a ground from the face? What did I win?

I stayed all of my school years in the West Coast. We used to walk that route. Would love to do it with a bike. I will have to make a plan. Sound so nice..... Enjoy!!!!

Would you mind reading my post again? If you read it with the same attitude I posted it you wont find any aggression in it - or getting personal.
