Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....anyone has a climbing pair of legs and body for me? "Ek gaan bloei"

enter the Jock...that will motivate you very quickly to train through winter.

thanks

Anyone, I'm trying to enter, kremetartcycling.co.za tells me the site owner has run out of bandwidth.

Nicki... yes, I'm a regular, 3 minutes from my place, and I have to drive past there to get home. Though, if you tried to have your bike serviced the week before Sani2C, you might have been angry, that shop was FULL of bicycles in for servicing. Good service.

I'LL BE THERE... with little training. Aaah well, done' it before with little training.

No, I work my fn @$$ off everyday for 8 hours, getting up before 5 to be at the office to make the money to pay for my stuff. Nobody should steal anything from anyone. But yaaaaa. Can't fn underastand that insurance comes into mind. F insurance. As they say prevention is better than cure. :cursing:

Ok, we get your point. Got the first time...

Did my first one this morning. 16km one way from Virgin Active 14th Avenue to Randburg. took 50 miinutes on the MTB. Can feel my body "what the hell did you do?" Its not the easiest of rides. Especially the last 5k or so. Haven't ridden in ages in the mornings. Bit cool. Had a basin wash. We do have a shower, but it just takes too long.

LOL @ this contraption. If you crashed and you lie there with that passed out or something, they're gonna take you straight to Rosswell.

+10000000. they break everything down, and then they look at others "You have everything and we have nothing". Yaaaa, Africaaaa.

Its their government who's put it in, with out money, our taxes...huh Or am I reading it incorrectly. Its funny how they always "the white man this, the white man that" but never when it comes to collecting taxes. Then the white man is good.

We all know where polls go...nowhere. 50% for medals, 50% against.

Just screwing with you. anyway, something practival, yes you do get those, but they cost money, like everything else, you pay R10 a medal, for somple mugs with a logo(depending on the size) R32, for those nice stainless steel cups we handed out at the Bekker Bundu bash something similar. So, if you have been involved in organising an event, you'd know that it isn't difficult. do you hike the price to make such gifts avaialbel, noone enters, and there is a 100 page thread on the hub that the race is too ezxpensinge. So we're between a rock and a hard place, and go for the cheaper option to make the race afforable. (Note , this is my viewpoint and not necessarily the race orgs, might just be that they'll agree on this)

there is an Afrikaans sying "elke vlieg op sy dr0l"... meaning , if you don't know the mechanics of a bicycle, take it to the people that knows, they're at your LBS!

Forgot to tell the author to stop doing meaningless races giving you meaningless medals.

+1 the races have already added the charities in before you ride, so, if you don't like medals, don't take it. We'll keep it for next year.

Bye bye to the maid, the gardener...

Overtraining, just as bad /worse than undertraining

Also measured my routes to and from work, and alternatives. Will drive 1/2 way, cycle the rest. Every Km that I cycle is a Rand not spent on travelling by car.

25th August. The organisers are still checking out the distance, but the longer ride will not be laps!!! The organisers are looking at a new route for the long distance, sounds like a stunning route!!!!

the problem is medals are something like R10 each, maybe R20, shirts(cheap rubbish that won't last you 4 months, R30), proper new balance shirts are R400? If we as race organisers have to raise the entry fee for proper gifts for you to enter, then WERE GONNA HAVE A 100 PAGE FIGHT OVER RACE COSTS AGAIN! Any suggestions for race 'gifts' in place of medals.

NO alternative routes? I have a couple, no squatters, whats in my way on some is a couple of baby mountains.

Aren't there enought charities already? Yopu go and donate your money, I'll take the medal! Charities are already provided for when you race. think of your medal as a thank you from all those poor kids and animals.

Frequency, or is that out of range for us Woesranders?
