  1. I have worn the green and gold at Vets Worlds, and believe me, it is still an honor!! the way the other countries look at you and wonder and it does leave a lump in your heart. you end up racing harder than ever before without thinking of any fear. its truly what it is all about. thats why i am peeved off about it. it should be a system whereby they take various races into account, and also various types of races. it used to be like that a couple of years ago, whereby they included flat, hilly, tt's etc.!! it pisses me off that the csa have no be-littled it to such a state!!!
  2. worlds should be an honour, it should be open and everybody should be in agreement. yet again the CSA / SACf has let us down!!!! WOULD THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SELECTORS PLEASE HAVE THE BALLS AND STAND UP AND ANNOUNCE YOURSELVES!!!
  3. unless i missed it, can someone please let everyone know who the selectors where?
  4. call bikemaxpower in ct or go to the guys that fitted it for you. it shouldnt do that as far as i know

    Ryan Cox

    Dont know if its on any of the previous listings or thread. the memorial ride is planned for Tuesday at 2pm, leaving from Finishline Cycles and the Funeral is at the Maranatha Church, Kemptonpark.. Just wanted to add a couple of other comments to those who didnt know Ryan. He was always willing to help, never had a big head and was always the one pro who had time for even little people, people that just started cycling, etc. He always had time for others; just as an example, while training VERY hard for Tour de Langkawi he was asked to take a new junior cyclist for a ride, " no problem, tell him to meet me at Finishline in an hour" was the immediate response. No hesitation!! If there ever was one SA rider i looked up to from the day i started cycling, it was Ryan. He never, ever had a big head. He always gave back!!! If you know his mom, Karen, you can see where he gets his attitude towards life from. they ARE both excellent people who are always willing to help. My only regret with regards to Ryan is that i never got a chance to really thank him for ALL the help he gave me in the past. RYAN, YOU WILL BE MISSED MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE!! OUR HEARTS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!! I DONT THINK YOU EVER KNEW HOW MANY PEOPLE REALLY LOOKED UP TO YOU!! CHEERS TO YOU!!!
  6. Hiya Brucy, any chance you can get us all a copy of Fabian C's prologue stats?? that mustve been the most awesome prologue i have ever seen!! F#@$##@$CK - damn!!!
  7. I think if I said "I TOLD YOU SO!!" you'd be smiling right about now!! remember all the things we said about this tour a cpl of weeks ago. "organization, prizegiving, etc...etc.....etc....."
  8. i think you guys are forgetting one important fact! Motorists in south africa dont give a sh*t about cyclists. even if there was a scheme like this (which would be great), it still wont change the fact that cyclists seem to be a hated species and if more are on the road during peak time, there would just be more deaths. Its the old song, all over again, mutual respect....... but unfortunatly it doesnt seem to work. on 99% of the time we ride single file, but still get motorists side-swiping us and knocking us off our bikes. I wish i was wrong, but it seems the law has failed cyclists seems .................
  9. My 5cents worth - longest i usually stay on rollers is for 4 hours, but I never like doing more than 3 hours at a time.
  10. Bruce is a teammate of ours and he also swears by it. I dont know Snapshot, so I cant vouch for her or her product as I havent used it, but I have been using Bruce's BodyScience pants for a number of months now, and it worked great. That was the only reason. Not implying anny offence or anything to that effect.
  11. Contact Bruce - he is the importer and distributer of a similiar make (BodyScience). It works wonders. Our whole team uses it.

    Yup, Psycho's got it right. DavidL and Dave Garret rode an excellent race. If there was one guy i wouldnt have minded to loose to it would have been DavidL. Always willing to share in the work and a great guy!! Dont know Dave G that well, all I knew going into the last lap is that I heard he was an excellent sprinter and therefore had my work cut out for me.Marco2007-06-04 03:36:36
