  1. Not a pretty sight.......
  2. The ladies bailed out first. One at 80km (but she planned to do only 80) and the other one (me )at 108km. The men made a team decision at 120km. Realy a tough day in the saddle. But I am sure we are all stronger than this morning, altough tired now. Come raceday and the wind is blowing like this..... I am going to turn around and sleep some more. Thank you again Dizzy Lizzy for offering your whole day to do backup. Edit : In total about 12 riders
  3. I am going to be there
  4. I believe this is my big mistake and the reason why my training does not reflect in my results.
  5. First training session for next year's K2C done and dusted.
  6. For me it is but that might be because l made a promise never to ride the Argus again.
  7. Ha ha perfect!
  8. It is obvious that I am waisting my time... One Scott scale 920 for sale. Al most brand new. Bit dusty after the last ride. I am taking up bowls.
  9. Soo..... is this the real reason for you not riding this year Fandacious?. :-)
  10. Stan SchroederYesterday at 9:18pm · Help needed to find a maniac!!!!!!!! Just got this on the bike forum, please keep your eyes open and help find this scum sucking dirtbag......... My wife went for a cycle this morning and was attacked and assaulted by a maniac close to Bloubergstrand. She was cycling with a friend and a white male approx. 40 years old skipped a stop street and nearly hit her while talking on his cellphone in his silver double cab 4x4, possibly a Ford. No number plates. So she shouted at him to watch it and get of his phone like any biker or cyclist would do when nearly killed by an idiot talking on is cellphone skipping a stop street. he slammed on brakes, got out of his bakkie and punched her off her bike, then spit in her face, grabbed her arm, twisted it behind her back, and tried to throw her in front of oncoming traffic on Marine drive. Luckily all cars stopped and people tried to intervene but everybody was too scared to approach this guy as he was screaming he would kill all cyclists and everybody else. We laid a charge of assault with SAPS, and according to the station commander, we can probably also get attempted murder because of trying to throw her if front of cars whilst screaming he is going to kill her. The problem is we don't have a name, or registration number (no number plates) or anything to assist the police in finding this guy. I have been cruising this whole area non stop since 11:00 until now 20:00 trying to find this guy, but he is probably hiding in his house beating up his wife and molesting his his children or something, like the coward he is. I will spend ever cent and every second of time I have to find this coward and get justice done. If anybody in the Blouberg/West Beach/Tableview area know of a middle aged white male, overweight, with a newish silver double cab 4x4 without number plates, please let me know. If the identified person is the person that attacked and assaulted my wife. I will pay a R50 000 reward no questions asked. 450Share
  11. I did .... and was pleasantly surprized. Yes matrasses laid out on the floor - as when you were in school. I expected a chattering fumbling right through the night, but at around 10h00 ( maybe a bit later) it was quite and every one asleep. ( I made a comment the next morning on my expectation of noise and someone mentioned that all of us wants to do good today.) Next morning a table is laid in the middle of the floor with a nice breakfast, hot water, coffee, tea, muffins and fruit. The hot water cold water was a bit of a problem in the showers but it is clean and civilized. Not 5star... but for the price you pay it is real good value for money. I am sleeping there again this year. PS I guy was snoring ....
  12. Website says 1560m , but according to facts, the websites are normaly wrong.
  13. RIP
  14. In my case ,you summed it up perfectly except the bollocks part. I just look strange. I love to ride my bikes. I love cycling . And most of the time would prefer a group ride above a race. But I have certain races that is like benchmarks just to see how much all my training has gained me. ( the ego thing) But most of the times the moment are too big or something and my expectations to high..... which leaves me bitterly dissapointed at the results. But yes, I race
  15. I would like to join too.
  16. I am Green. They obviously have not seen Sundays results. Was going for a time now I am going to finish.
  17. Thanks tyre is still brand new. Will try that. At the moment the pressure pushes the tube through the cut and makes a "blister" at the outside before the obvious bust that follows. Plan B is new tyres ..... Ai !!
  18. Will this work on road bike as well. ..... ?
  19. First race with my new bike........... Lets see how it goes........
  20. I had to do that a few years ago. Absolutely awfull. But as you say sometimes one should decide what is best for them as well. Not a nice time for you. :-(

  22. The sun must be up already. ....No need to wake at 5h00 for a ride if one can do it at 11h00 Make sense to me....... unfortunately I am not on leave........
