Can echo that.

I have had a couple of dealings with Avron and found him a descent person to do business with. Can recommend him.

At this years Eric van Enter meeting (a multiple day schools road event) the WP U14 girls team (all from Khyaelitsha) won the girls event. Watch this space

If anyone is interested, Jan Binneman still has place on his bus to go up to the 94.7. the cost is R600 return. You can contact him on 082 331 7756

The worst day on the bike this year. Woke up with a headache (no drinking for 3 months) so something else was wrong. No legs, no guts, nothing! But we will struggle on Glad to see I did not suffer alone.

Kenneth Ketterer (Junior rider Team Marcello) was hit this afternoon by a car skipping a stop street in Protea Valley, Bellville.. Both arms broken.

Correct

Not only for Rugby and Cricket folks. Rumour has it that for 2007, SA Pro-Teams need PDI riders for their teams. 5 Rider team = 1 PDI rider 8 Rider team = 2 PDI riders Anyone got more info??????

Funny I was sufing the net for HED wheels today Pricing ($) looks excellent compared to the other top brand names. Who sells it in SA?

The only downside in this cyclists paradise is the total lack of hills. On my 35km morning circuit I never get higher than 4 metre above see level! Sound like heaven

A talented rider is not always the one that necessarily wins the local races all the time. It is the one that has a self believe and self dedication to succeed. I have seen many youngsters dubbed "talented" but as soon as they can make up their own mind and not get pushed by the parents they disappear from the scene. Willie Engelbrecht was one of the few talented riders that kept going to the bigger stages of life. Just go and look at the results of SA Champs (Road,track or MTB) 5 years ago and have a look how many of those youngsters are still part of the cycling scene today. Too many races, pressure from the parents etc took their toll. Only the true talented ones survived. My 2cents in the pot.

2 weeks in Europe - so not much training there. 2 nights at Rotterdam 6 Days - Yummie!

Route surprises to revive TDF? 25/10/2006 13:50 - (SA) Paris - Tour de France organisers are hoping a few surprises in the 2007 route being unveiled on Thursday will help breathe new life into the race after this year's event was marred by doping scandals. Starting in London on July 7, next year's Tour is the first conceived by new race director Christian Prudhomme, who replaces Jean-Marie Leblanc. Prudhomme can only be hoping for a scandal-free Tour after American Floyd Landis tested positive for an excessive amount of the male hormone testosterone on his way to victory this year. Landis, who remains determined to prove his innocence at an American Arbitration Association hearing early next year, will be stripped of his title and banned for two years if his appeal fails. Several leading riders were also withdrawn on the eve of the 2006 race after they were linked to an anti-doping investigation in Spain. One notable change from previous tours was the scrapping of the traditional transfer day taking the riders closer to the mountains at the end of the first week, sources close to the organisers told Reuters. The first individual time trial would be staged at the end of the second week and there would be no team time trial, the sources added. The opening 8km prologue will start on Whitehall, near Trafalgar Square, and finish on The Mall. A day later, the riders will travel out of London through the city's financial district to Kent and finish the stage in the historic cathedral city of Canterbury. Sections of the Tour are often held outside France and have been staged in Britain before. After leaving England, the 2007 Tour will pay Belgium a brief visit before heading to Burgundy and then the Alps, where the first rest day will be taken in Tignes. The riders will then head for the Pyrenees, where a gruelling stage between Foix and Loudenvielle is likely to have a major impact on the overall classification. The final and potentially decisive time trial will be held on July 28, the penultimate day of the Tour, between Cognac and Angouleme. The traditional run in to the Champs Elysees will start outside Paris in Marcoussis, home of the national rugby team's training camp, in recognition of the 2007 World Cup being held in France later in the year.

Die probleem was aan die begin waar 'n mat nie lekker gewerk het nie. Dit behoort teen Donderdag uitgesorteer te wees.

Thanks!!
