Years ago we hiked and picnicked there and I didn't feel unsafe.

Are the overall results available anywhere?

Shout-out to the wind for making the racing even more challenging.

Just to check - does the racing start at 10; or can we register from 10 with the races starting later?

....when 5fm played music worth listening to?

Willing to bet more delegates and MPs get sent than athletes.

This looks like fun. Although you may need to time me using moon phases, tides or a calendar.

I've heard of a swim technique called hypoxic breathing. Basically, you swim lengths in the pool and increase the amount of strokes before taking a breath. ie. breath on 1,3,5,7. Not sure if that's strictly hypoxic, but a swim coach I once met reckons it's a good way to train.

I have done some commuting on my MTB between Randpark Ridge and Houghton. It wasn't too bad but there is one other problem to address: Joburg is a pretty hilly city. If you have to cycle even 15km to work, chances are you will be drenched in sweat in the summer months. Few companies have shower facilities wear employees can freshen up; even fewer have secure bicycle parking. But as others have commented already, an open patch of tar on a Joburg road by default belongs to taxis and morons who think they are more important than any other road user. My other concern is that this will be like the Gautrain and compromise of limited routes that benefit few people.

I did my bit and sent an objection. I don't think they have thought this through - sure - they may stop trout accidentally entering new rivers/streams. But at the expense of entire industries that either promote fly fishing or breed trout for food.

Starting in AL but it's been a while since I last raced so I am probably out of my depth. It could be a looooooooong time trial for me!

Good ride to test your endurance. It's also well organised from what I remember.

While we are on the subject, how often are time trial races held? And where can we find details?

According to the World Health Organisation vitamin supplements are just that - supplements. If you have a deficiency they may assist, but should not be your first port of call. Your diet should be. Now if you'll excuse me, I have an egg McMuffin that needs my attention.

I must beat him, no matter the cost. Somebody give me the number of Contador's butcher.
