That's the problem I have with advances in sport equipment, where sooner or later we're going to have a F1 situation where it's more about the machine than the man. I think the UCI is actually right in limiting what a bicycle is to some degree.

Hi ADe. How about posting what your current week's training looks like for all three and times and level of training?

Who's doing this? I thought about it, but I probably won't be going to the finals so is it worthwhile from Jozi? I did do it last year just for "fun".

I see they added VA and VB. Must not have received that many entries? "The VA and VB groups start together and your starting time is 7:15 "

I've decided I'm doing this one and probably with the Elites because they're doing 150km. Not sure there will be many in VA. Anybody has the map or anything? The only thing from the http://www.gowestfest.co.za/index.php/events/cycle-race website is that, "The race starts with the Elite cyclists setting off on a 144km route through each of the West Rand Municipalities and public participants joining them at the 106km mark. The race will start at Coronation Park at 6:00 and meander through all four municipalities ending once again at Coronation park."

Sjoe daai is ou Thornman! Lanklaas van hom gehoor op die Hub.

Froome's isn't much different for 2013 and there is still time for more... 2013 1st Overall Tour of Oman 1st Points classification 1st Stage 5 1st Overall Critérium International 1st Stage 3 1st Overall Tour de Romandie 1st Prologue 1st Overall Critérium du Dauphiné 1st Stage 5 1st Overall Tour de France 1st Stages 8, 15 & 17 (ITT) Held Polka Dot Jersey on Stage 9 & Stages 16–20 2nd Overall Tirreno–Adriatico 1st Stage 4

I definitely missed that one!

That's not a real ninja... these are...

Mass start at the same time? That's going to be interesting!

Does it make a difference? What in the world can justify four "brave" guys stabbing one woman?

cool dude! Your name reminds me in school, I was thin and my friend bigger and I was called vliesie and he vettie.

What I said to him.

I guess that depends, because maybe he was talking about a syringe... then you can get 3mm... and he did talk about "injecting"...

By taking the time to post you're showing us you care at least a bit!

Yeah he also won gold at the track olympics last year as well as all his previous track achievements. But they will probably give Froome a MBE, OBE a CBE for 2013 at the end of the year.

Do you think it will be worth my while to drive through from Joburg? Or would the Jakaranda Spring Tough race north of Pretoria be better?

Yes, ol' appels!

How much you paying?

The guys I was speaking about are friends that ride together and they're already at their maximum of 24 riders. He said the group was already committed months ago!

So is the cut-off 90kg? What about the rhinos at 110kg +

I love you guys and girls!

I know a few guys from my work are doing it. Will find out from them. Apparently they race to Pietermaritzburg!

Not to be negative, but we always lambast PPA for the money they receive from the Argus and what they spend it on, but what about the other half that goes to the Rotary Club of Clarement? Or are they excluded from having to spend cycling's money on cycling? All proceeds generated by the Cycle Tour are split equally between the Pedal Power Association and the Rotary Club of Claremont. These organisations, in turn, plough their share of the funds into cycling development and a large number of charitable organisations, schools and projects. - See more at: http://www.cycletour.co.za/index.php/causes/#sthash.STTClJjH.dpuf
