My bad. You are quite right.😳 Thanks for correcting me, and I do agree with you. Colin Strickland seems like a tragic character that was clinging to life before this whole saga. I'd also be curious to know what the fallout was regarding her sister's passport etc, they tend to throw the book at you stateside.

Um, what part of pre-meditated murder (followed by escape from custody, facial surgery to alter appearance and fleeing the country on a false passport, then sitting expressionless in court) is harsh? 🫤

🥩🍻🤘

Erm, is my clock wrong or is the Live Feed on Africa Time? 🙈 * Ah, starts at 0750. Ish. 0750-ish. Or thereabouts. Don't worry, be happy.

Matt's eyes in the interview says it all. They (Tristan) ain't going to claw this back. Hope I'm wrong.

Hey pal in this country we say baydj.

And her frank comments is why it's refreshing to listen to her. She skirts around issues, so I would not call it unprofessional. Wash her thinking with soap and you have monotonous of a previously tarnished Epic commentator ...

Missed that, what did she say about Georg?

😂 ... the cricket (literally) chirping in the commentary box.

Speaking of different bikes, and straying far off topic, whatever happened to our Hair Creature's plans to ride the Munga on a BMX?

Rare in National Park spaces. Besides, we are not a civilised nation and kinda proud of it too. 😆 ... and large, dense plantations of Australian trees never existed naturally on Table Mountain. What do your metrics say of Ozzy trees vs endemic tree species? Reference to that research please. ... and that statement was in support of commercial logging, the keyword you tumbled onto is 'foresters'. Remind where those visitors in the 1700s and 1800s were from (literally anywhere in Europe = trees and very, very green grasses), remind us how they understood the uniqueness and diversity of fynbos? Provide a reference to those quotes please. And your Argument #4 really sums in up: there were no (or few, and then only in small pockets) trees back then. So why now, just for the squirrels and odd hiker/biker and to the detriment of the thousands of other species that would otherwise thrive in fynbos and its suitable soil conditions?

+1 for fynbos. Where a hat if the sun bothers you.

You are right @Paul Ruinaard , SAPS should do more. But then what are the Metro Police (et al) for?

I would say the problem is not even lack of conviction, it's the lack of enforcement. The rules are in place, just put a stop this kind of thing from happening in the first place. And that part of the equation does fall under Winde's sphere of influence (it literally is his job). And of course, yes, I do agree that it is positive that he made an appearance at the court proceedings (cheeky, but good). Now get back to work and slow the carnage down.

Strikes me as a little odd that Winde is participating in a PPA ride in support of safer roads when a fair chunk of the blood shed falls squarely on his shoulders. Where is the law enforcement that literally falls under his command? Or am I missing some crucial here?

Thanks Matt. Completely understandable. 👍

As the title suggests; no access (today, yesterday) when on VPN. Huh? 😬

XCC live at rts.ch (via VPN, see my comment above re NordVPN coupon). XCO will be too at same site ... good feed, only catch it's in French. Which means most names are pronounced properly. 😆

I watched the Swiss stream (after trying several other countries for the Olympics: Switzerland was by far the best) last year. Free and a good stream, helps to have a wife that can speak a little French but the visuals are 90% of it anyway. The catch is you have to be in Switzerland. And you can be if you run a VPN. FWIW if you sign up via to NordVPN here: https://refer-nordvpn.com/uNdpStCnBwz (considered the best VPN service), then I might get an extra free month or two on my account. Shameless plug. 😂 The upshot of running a VPN is the ability to place you, and your TV (and Netflix etc) just about anywhere in the world, and it's a lot cheaper than airfare and hotels and lost luggage and overpriced cappuccinos.

... makes one think of football players clutching ankles (with the exception of Remco who appears to be made of something different). Tough sport this.

MTBing an extreme sport? What does that make base jumping?

Does Marco drive a Big Six Ford and smoke Camels? White pants? Or am I confusing him from some fragment of memory from the Seventies? 😆 Either way awesome to see the locals (ladies too) doing so well. 👍

Mecheng then why even post it? Gee, it's humid today. And look at all those clouds. That came to my mind today but it has no place here whatsoever. Annika is a phenomenal athlete with a perfect Epic score card. She works her backside off to achieve that and history tells us in no uncertain terms that she know how to work with any chosen partner. Good luck to everyone today and hope that DieselnDustnHeat makes it through the stage (and tells us all about it) safely and speedily. 👍

Garmin user here. Have had Garmin GPSs for twennysomething years. Yes, it works. But I won’t get another. My support experience has been meh, UX also meh. Wahoo next time (because last time I looked into a Hammerhead it seemed just a stretch too far … perhaps local support for them exists these days?). I’ve heard very good things about local support for Wahoo products. That counts.

What's DND's race number?
