Think my request was merely the tipping point, Admin said there have been other requests

Admin let me know he will create the safety forum this weekend. Thanks Matt

Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple

I care enough to start this thread, have asked admin to consider a forum header.

Thanks AL A request that we keep this factual and to the point as far as possible City Area What to look out for

I want to ask all hubbers to use this thread to post details of trouble spots/ potential trouble spots as a heads up to others. If we can prevent what happened to Mathilda, Fanie, Auctionlamb and several others in the last few weeks I believe we may have actually gotten something right.

Is that a "add me to the list" ? yes please - are you aware of the new annual entry which is available for 500 odd rands for entrance to all tswane reserves for cyclists? well you can but one from the fountains entrance. A colleague has such an entry. I bought an annual ticket in November last year (R410-50) but it is only for Groenkloof. It is well worth it if you use it at least twice a month. They let me through the gates without having to do all the paperwork. conor wanted to know why it said "elvis presley and sons" on the last sheet i filled outthere have been some interesting guests in that place? And people say the King is dead ... He may not be dead, but he isn't in the building

Hear Hear!

A pencil entry for me and one of my cubs

Slowbee and Ark, you have pm

There will be from March Apparently all content will be as per the international edition, only advertising will be local, at R300 for a year, it makes a lot more cents than R100 per issue at CNA

Thanks for the contact detail Intern, very helpful. Appears the email I received was incorrect, due to contractual issues with the international version, the first edition is the March issue. All's well that ends well

Enjoying the dale a lot

last year at the 94.7 expo I bought a years subscription to the local version of Cyclesport magazine. The money dutifully left my account and I received an email at the end of the year stating that my first issue would be the January 09 one. Jan has come and gone without any sign of the magazine, I also cleverly deleted the email and have no way of contacting them. I am sure it is just an admin hiccup of some sort, but would like to contact them to check. If anyone bought a subscription or has a contact detail of any nature I would be obliged if you could send it to me.

Beautiful little stretch of road, just be awake when riding it, or have a mate or two around

Contrary to my little crusade about people riding alone a while ago I found myself doing a solo ride on Saturday morning; a pleasant, contemplative experience. Turned slightly sour as I emerged from Eco Park at John Vorster drive; instead of turning left and going past Makro and Supersport park as per usual, I crossed straight over used the road that is still under construction (passes by Centurion golf estate right up to Irene). Caught in the spirit of the moment and having no traffic to concern myself with I was in a mild daydream and didn't notice 4 'pedestrians' had surreptitiously herded me into the gutter. With nowhere to go I was preparing for what seemed like an inevitability. Unbeknownst to the protagonists a mountainbiker came from the opposite direction and with a cheerful 'hi' and a wave of the arm made the 'pedestrians' open up the road in front of me. Not sure what might have happened, but am rather glad it didn't. I believe I am usually pretty aware of my surroundings but apparently a lapse in concentration is very easy to have. Please keep your eyes open guys 'n gals

Good luck with the treatment

Bester cycles does a mtb ride at 05h50 on Fridays

My thoughts are with her. Where did it happen?

The bum slap is popular with a certain club in Pta, I believe it is a tribute to one of the sponsors on their bib at the back - MultiWaste

I spose these days Daniel would have waxed a virtual car
