Happy endings

I will post picks of my cave next week. I am 80% done.... Among other it does have the following:- Spin Bike Treadmill Sauna Jacuzzi Shower Toilet my bikes All of my gear and equipment TV and Sound system What more can a man ask for??

Any chance that this server error accidently removed Eccentric?? Perhaps something good can come from this after all???

Its not that simple. Off road also has problems. For example people/drivers don't expect bikes on gravel roads hence it is also dangerous... Then bike jacking is a lot more common off road. We need a solution. Maybe they should have 24 hour camera surveillance on certain "cyclists" friendly roads. It is amazing how a person's way of going about things changes when he knows he is being watched. Put up huge warning boards stating the next 40km is monitored by cameras for the protection of cyclists and see how many hit and runs do take place???

We need more adds like the one on Supersport about "my sport". The only way is to make the motorist (viewer) actually relate to a family member (friend or someone he looks up to and respects) who also cycles.... This will hopefully make him think that it can actually be someone he knows before driving recklessly past cyclists next time... In my view there is a lot of hate & anger due to higher stress levels these days and most people take it out when they are in a position of authority like car vs bike...... That's just how it is......... I have seen guys that I know drive like an absolute d@@s only to see that same guy at a braai that same freaking evening being the kindest softest bloke imaginable while his child is sitting on his lap...... Then we also need a billionaire (or Lotto grant) to build a 40km circular tar road exclusively for cyclists/runners/walkers close too every major city/town in SA......

Maybe get a extra ouch for your bike? I have a front bottle cage with someelastics around. I use these to stuff most of my food into. I also put some potatoes and eggs in my back pocket and stick the gels onto my bike frame with insulation tape. Seeker. I try and eat real food every 30 minutes on the bike. I only take a gel when I feel bad or when the run is coming up......... Try boiled eggs. Worked really well on my solo 200km ride this past weekend. I rode almost 8 hours and ate 3 boiled eggs. Pack of simba salt and vinegar chips and some 32 GI chews. Only took two gels. Felt ok afterwards!

Hi guys I had a really crap ride on Saturday. Headwind the first 85km, upon the turn the wind also turned 150 degrees. I actually wanna see this though. Is there a website that shows the exact wind strentgh and direction per hour as it was on Saturday? Like the forecast but actually the results........... But it must be the actual results, not archived predictions if you get what I am saying. Thx

Isnt there some law like if you dont get sued within a certain period of time after the race then you can keep the winnings?

Come on Seeker! If I promise to share my potatoes with you will you come?

Maybe Shell can sponsor us with some of the "fracking" profits!

Why cant the Lotto give a grant and have 30km bike tarmac training loops built all around the country?

Drive through Dave. You can redeem yourself

If I won the UK Lottery I would build a 80km circle route only for bicycles.

How about a 6 hour Argus. Stop for breaks etc? Even try and get into a tandem team and take it easy?

A lot has been said. This is a very good article in my opinion http://www.news24.com/Columnists/DavidMoseley/We-all-killed-Burry-Stander-20130108

Oh no. Good luck man!

WTF does that mean? Knee?

Hi guys www.fstriathlon.co.za is holding a triathlon and duathlon at Maselspoort on 19 January. There will be Olympic and Sprint and half sprint distances. Check out "Free State Triathlon" on Facebook and click "events"........... More detail to follow on Thursday.... PS:- Dont PM me or anything I am only a messenger......

We stayed in tents next to the dam. Was lekker and very cheap. 4 loops is fine. Its not like you ride that course every second day! I have done Midmar twice now and will not hesitate to go back!

Are their any archers in Bloemfontein?

I have an idea. I am going to make sure I swim in front of you. Then when you stay on my paws I am gonna swim 500m out to the deep sea before launching my claw attack on you.

Just be carefull as there is one blind guy racing every year
