So of all the challenges........ this is the one that I won ( in the only female category) O jay me .....O wait a minute... The HubSA Most Time Spent Working Out 2013 Let's see which Hubber can rack up the most time working out in ANY sport this year. Also known as the Hubber's with the most time on their hands and may possibly need another hobby! :whistling: :lol:

RIP

The top does not look that bad just a few spots. but the short are ruined. It does not really show as it is black but yeah............. it is there.

Thank you all. Great idea about the water bottle. ?...........and the new bike, but that is not going to happen soon.

Had a rather big punture on Saturday..... The upside was that I just topped up the Stans and although it took a while (a long while) the hole was sealed and I could finish the ride after I pumped the tire. The downside is everything is covered in a layer of latex. My legs. cleaned My clothes . washed but not clean And my bike. As in everywhere.........with a layer of sand grains nicely embedded. So here is the question. How do I clean this mess? Is the only way water, soap and elbow grease.? How do one clean in all the little cracks....? Is there something I can use to dissolve the latex that is safe for my bike?

Love your pictures and the story. Fresh angle.

O yeay! I can almost hear how exciting it was. Don't worry there are more of us.

You know I think the couple taking responsibility of all 10 puppies untill they found houses is awesome.

teetree oil.A few drops in a spraycan with water snd spray the dog.

Yes. Coco must be a friend for Milo, but at the momement Milo does not seem very impressed.

Coco and a litter of 9 puppies was left in the field. All of them have houses now.

Although I promised to be there, I could not make it because of responsibilities that one came up last week. I notice on the website one can make cash donations. I will a donation and refer it to toyrun. It looked like everyone had fun.

Wannabee will I intrude if I ask to join in with your ride from Durbanville? How far from Durbanville to VA?

O my hat!! Then I will have to walk that last hills because I will be slower...... and I dont think a bike can go slower than that.

Exactly what I was saying.

Luc is is simple: Find the steepest hill near your home. From now on ... end all your training rides with a few climbs up that hill. Come raceday.... easy as pie..

Ha ha also need a training partner

I had all great ideas of doing the Trans karoo and Tanka Karoo............ But at the momement my hope is to just to get back on my bike. Lost my mojo....

I am with you on this. I am not a seasoned bunch rider, but the groups coming pass did not have rythm. Going forward and backward like a yo yo. I felt as if a accident is bound to happen sooner or later. Especially with the cross winds. Ended up riding the whole R44 basically alone.

I cramped Worcester race and K2C to the extent that i thought my muscles is going to tear of my bones. So first on my way to the event ,I try to finish my first bottle and durin the race I started to focus on drinking every 15min a sip, but it have to add up to approx 500ml an hour. I also eat on the hour. For me bananas work . Cramps gone. Also always had a slump on about 70km.which is gone and I have a more constant energy. Due to work commitments I trained less, and that i felt today but no cramps

.......and to answer the question : yes you are. Edit: just a sugestion can you name the album according to time taken. ?That will limit searching....

Where did you take photos.? Were you the guy on that last hill by Krommeree

Not nice Jaco. Hope it ends well for you.

.............and based on how the wind is blowing for the last few days: very strong. Dammmm! Did the wind come from behind last year? just my luck ...while I was laying in bed with broken bones.
