cable tie to keep the sucker on and then wrap it with black electrical tape to stop it moving around. done. next question.

tea, water and freshly squeezed orange juice (separately) - red wine after 7 bells

with import duties it'll probably work out the same as the high-quality stuff they have on the station deck here ...and i enjoy the haggling...

let it go now and enjoy the ride

my mirror predicts you will also puncture

not if i've got anything to do with it - i'll be dropping you guys on boyes, um, after waving to the family of course. good luck keeping up! hahahaha (evil laugh)

weight and colours aside, pedals are pedals, i have these and they are fine. took a bit of getting used to clipping in coming from my 20-year old look pedals, but in all, good bang for buck.

good for you, and next time you fly past in the opposite direction while riding through salt river: wave.

this was pretty much my strategy for every argus i entered from 2001-2008: 1) two weeks before race day - dust off bike, pump tyres and lube chain 2) do about 5 training rides before race day, not one longer than 30km (most around the block) 3) lots of recovery time - mandatory 4) drink about 2l of energade the day before (don't know if this actually did anything) 5) get on the bike and ride the argus without expecting too much (this step is critical) 6) ride easy on the hills and bomb the descents (gravity's great!) i pretty much see-sawed between 3h35 and 4hrs (depending on which group i was with - anywhere from G to S) for several years. yes, i suffered like hell, but by the time i had to enter again i'd forgotten about the pain. but it's a fun day out on a bicycle. going too fast or starting to early you miss the fun

can't see the image - sure it's not tubbies?

no, my mirror tells me you will have a puncture

yes, but, um, not for cycling...

now you guys are starting to understand the power of the peleton! use the force

jeepers, this is getting serious, i'm glad i'm not riding in your group, i'd be too scared of the posse! "c'mon, we'll head 'em off at the pass!"

no good telling us - we've seen/heard it all before - need to drop a line to the ppa and try to make it constructive! i don't know how you guys managed going up okw on the return later in the morning - was already boiling at 9am when we were up there

at least he had the good sense not to contest the sprint! or maybe the beer forfeit had taken its toll on his slow-twitch muscle fibres...

the best, though, was the response after last year's cobra where little pens with a logo were handed out - jeepers, the outcry! i mean, for once you receive a perfectly functional object and everyone complained!

i'm not allowed to enter funrides unless i promise our two year old the medal when i finish.

hang on, there was a short cut?! why did no-one tell me!!! did you have to down a beer like in ss?

go for it - i'm tired of seeing these things all over the place - make an example of the dude.

nope, it was all my doing, i single-handedly slowed the b group so i could wave to the family on boyes.

so keith richards' legs (circa um, yesterday) stitched to meatloaf's body (circa, um, say monday) are no good?

oh, and a quick look at chappies has me at puke, puke, wheez, wheez, what are these birds flying around my head for? and suikerbossie is more: puke, puke, puke, triple wheez and why are the birds flying around my head talking to me, is that a starfish? why do we do this to ourselves again?

what, and leave you to take all the glory in a? osh don't think so

ok, tiny, bets are on - 35km/h up suikerbossie? let's see it - i'm also starting in a.
