A buddy of mine will be doing 94.7 ... twice .. he is traing for Iron Man and will do an extra lap to build up mileage.

I will be doing both. This year tackled Comrades as well, but only got to 73km's. Am I a cyclist-runner or a runner-cyclist? Started cycling 5 years ago, but got into running this year as got tired of getting the same old medals. You have to try multi-sport (triathlon) .... its a blast wayne.yan2006-10-30 08:24:13

I understand the frustration with our non-functional judicial system ... but some how I can't let the bastards win the psycological battle ... hence my decision to continue with my ride. I mean who actually thinks the cops will catch the perpetrators? If anything, I am interested in affecting the crime statistics and ensuring that people are aware of the danger area. Hence these postings. Looks like I will be joining a club and going out with a pack seeking safety in numbers. Anyone from Edenvale Pedalers out there?

This morning reported the incident at Bramley police station and became an official statistic. If anyone else has been attacked in this area please make sure you take the time to report it. I'll be glad if it avoids just one other cyclist becoming a victim. I know of many guys who use the hill up past Barloworld as a training climb.

Crime strikes again. Riders who use Catherine in Sandton please be aware. On 29/10/2006 at approx. 08:30 I was attacked by two 'affirmative shoppers' wielding bricks. Luckily I was able to keep my head down, but received a nasty blow to my back and shoulder blade and have been left with some nasty bruises. Amazing how powerfully you can sprint when the adrenalin kicks in! After the incident I did what every crazy athlete would do ... finished the remaing 60km's. I'll be damned if I'll let these bastards spoil my ride! The area in question is the top of the climb after passing Barloworld on the right heading north. wayne.yan2006-10-29 14:23:32
