  1. My stance is that irrespective of the number of tests done and the true number of positive cases for SA, at the end of the day, the only things that matter are, the number of cases requiring intensive care, and the number of deaths, both of which has not presented itself in the volumes expected and which is not impacted by the amount of tests done since these stats will surface irrespective. The current reality is probably too good to be true but all previous predictions have been dismissed. I'm staying positive and believe that something unique is happening in SA but we haven't figured it out yet or it simply cannot be explained.
  2. Finish would be at the Parade as well
  3. From what I gathered it sounded like same day. There was mention that one of the reasons for not considering the short route was the amount of additional logistics and available officials required with not enough notice given to the authorities to plan for this etc. I honestly cannot see how this is such a big issue? Also, if held on Saturday it would clash with the expo which in itself is an event that requires logistics and staffing etc...
  4. I just heard that they going to give the short route option another go for 2021. The authorities who turned down the request previously are now willing to look at the logistics again and reconsider. Basically an out and back on the Blue Route.
  5. That's what they say, but it will definitely be used for this year's CTCT as well.
  6. Stay at home
  7. Probably waiting for the late entries to be concluded by EOB today so that they only have to run the query once. That's my guess anyways... Maybe later tonight or tomorrow it should reflect.
  8. What would be more environmentally friendly, eating a lamb chop from the farm down the road, or an Avocado that had to be transported from a different continent?
  9. How can you say that everyone should be cutting down on their meet intake. I eat red meat about once a week, I don't need to cut down on anything. What health benefits will be derived from not eating good (halal or kosher) red meat? Are there studies to prove this?
  10. I was watching Survivor a few nights ago, and after winning a challenge the tribe opted for live egg laying chickens over rice. One of the tribe members bonded with one of the chickens and provided comfort to the chciken. It was actually quite strange since the chickens would usually make a run for it whenever anyone got close, but with this tribe member the chicken allowed her to get close and pick it up and comfort it. However when hunger struck, the tribe decided it was time to slaughter it and have a proper meal, and this tribe member was now obviously shattered.
  11. Imagine the entire world population stops eating meat. LOL ???? it is just not viable. Economies will crash and people will die of hunger.
  12. Why do I have to be a follower of Islam? I mention halal because it is more commonly labeled on meat products but there are lots of similarities with kosher as well. Do you know the amount people of other faiths and beliefs who prefer only to consume Halal meat because of it's benefits over unhalal meat? Go do some proper research and stop relying on bogus studies.
  13. I'm going to open up a can of worms here. I specifically want to refer to all prior studies that has been conducted and claiming that eating meat causes disease and illnesses etc. and the Bshit results which shows that meat eaters blood are murky or whatever it was. Did those studies involve participants who only ate Halal meat as opposed to unhalal meat and pork? If you don't know what Halal is, here are some brief pointers: Animal welfare should be respected throughout the course of an animal's lifetime In order to emphasise the sanctity of life, the name of God should be invoked prior to slaughter The method of slaughter must involve a cut to the throat using a single, continuous motion The slaughter of the animal should sever the carotid artery, windpipe and jugular veins The spinal cord must remain intact Knives must not be sharpened in the presence of an animal, nor should animals witness the slaughter of other animals The knife should be razor sharp and free of blemishes Animals should not be slaughtered in a position that is uncomfortable Blood must be entirely drained out prior to the animal being processed further If you are Vegan, please go and research the benefits of Halal meat versus meat that is not halal. All studies concerning meat diets which have not taken the above into account is basically junk.
  14. OK so how do we start getting predatory animals to start becoming vegans too. I mean the way they kill causes their prey to suffer for hours, sometimes days to wait until they die.They are so cruel toward their prey. That's natural right and they way God intended, but veganism is above that, so those animals have to change, seeing that we're assimilating animals to humans now. I wonder if lions will survive on a plant based diet.
  15. Emm, no, I'm not Vegan.
  16. Today is World Vegan Day and November is World Vegan Month. https://www.awarenessdays.com/awareness-days-calendar/world-vegan-day-2019/ While they celebrate that, I'm going to celebrate the RWC by braaing all weekend and at the same time reap all the health benefits of eating meat.
  17. I thought he was left there to keep the pace down until the rest of Savages gets back, you know, like you guys did while descending Botman's I wasn't complaining though as the break from hammering was welcomed....
  18. Definitely a Savage day. C Group was being paced perfectly by the excellence team until Savage came along at 60km mark and took over from there until the end. A massive group formed at this point with constant casualties suffering the consequences of trying to sit on the Savage train. I managed to sit all the way through the cramps until the end, well kinda, since Savage decided to stop at last waterpoint but then caught us right at the line again.
  19. https://pedalpower.org.za/events/pedal-power-association-244/ From looking at those horrible route maps, it looks like only the 160km route goes over Bains and Riebeeck. 110km goes over Riebeeck only.
  20. You are able to collect your race sticker at PPA offices beforehand.
  21. Compared to me who did NOT get first, but moved up 10 places...
  22. I just jumped up by 130 places into the top 80...
