Either way I really like the new course. It makes for good racing. Gone are the days of keeping up for 15km until you hit the high way and then just suck along forever!

No I was riding in front with that oke with the Red shirt. That oke was a bloody monster. But ja the whole thing shattered upon those climbs. I rode at the front past the golf courses. Then on top of Albrecht I stopped for water. Once we passed Noordstad we formed sort of a group and I dragged them all the way to the end before they sprinted away. I probably lost you whilst stopping for water. Or I was a group back from the start.

Ja well soon enough someone will blast me for my comment. Wait and see......

3h06. I think we rode toghether until the top of Albrecht when I stopped for a refill. I was on the white silverback. Race went really well. Waited to bonk from km 40 but it never happened despite working at the front like a madman!

Was it a cyclist attacking a marshall? Did anyone get his number? Seriously that oke should be banned from all events for 2 years or something

This weekend I did the OFM. It was truly an awesome race even though have a few issues with some of the guys in our "C" bunch. Rant on:- Some okes are really erratic. They swerve without warning and when they decide to suddenly jump out of the saddle beware cause they will move 2m sideways within 2 seconds. Then you also get those idiots that freak out about people holding there lines etc. As far as I am concerned as long as you are predictable then it is fine. Dont make sudden movements. It is impossible to hold your line cause the oke in front is not holding his line etc etc And FFS you dont need to show everyone in the bunch your new waterbottle. Just have a sip and put it back whilst NOT looking down. It is really not that difficult. Yesterday it was almost as the okes were declaring the bunch a feeding/neutral zone cause he wants to have a drink. Also it is the riders in the front's responsibility to warn guys at the back about potholes etc. This however doesnt mean shouting and swerving on the N1 cause a car is parked 2 metres of the side the road. WTF was that all about. Then lastly chill the F out guys. Everytime we caught a loner from the bunch upfront there was movemnent and attacks. Everytime we went around a corner for some reason everyone gets all worked up sprinting and aggressive and dangerous. Oh and if you are a stray dog from a front bunch that gets picked up, fall in at the back and work your way up. It is "*** styl" to force yourself into fourth wheel without even looking around. Oh and thanks to the 5 guys who sprinted away for their own little victory after being dragged up to the finish line by myself for the last 20km's. Rant off:- Still it was an awesome race!! Maybe I am getting too old for bunch riding... maybe its the triathlon racing that has made me weak....

3h06. I think we rode together until the top of Albrecht when i stopped for new waterbottles. Well done.

Hey Wil6. Howd it go?

The Garf only rolls undercover due to numerous enemies made on the hub. Naah! Whitish Neotel Silverback Team Issue, White helmet, Lance Armstrong glasses. Not sure about the clothes yet will check the weather. If that doesnt help then here are some more clues. I will wear black lycra pants I will have a waterbottle on my bike (maybe even 2!!) I will wear gloves What colour is that Raleigh? See ya on Sunday

#92 Hold your fukking line

Wil6 What bike you riding? I will look out for you Sunday in the 07h00 group? Once we hit the high way I will be hovering 10th wheel like Lance always does - although I will do it clean

Mongoose I will be coming for you watch out!!!!

If you still want in just go on the waiting list. I am sure there will be plenty of cancellations. Lots people get Kilojule-poisoning during December.....

Swim 40% Bike 70% Run 100% Its unfortunate I wont be racing. Would have loved to finally break 6 hours.

It happened to me as well. A few years back when ir rained so much! All the numbers got washed off and some prick decided to search and destroy T-bags. If I found him I would have T-Bagged him

I hope less than last year or else it will be a draft legal race again?

Cool. So its just hang on until we hit the highway and then we should get a pretty good idea of what times we will be looking at all depending on share workload + winds (which is hopefully not from across!)

But he didnt test positive once???

I am going off at 07h00. Funny considering I did a 03h15 94.7 last year and the year before that a 02h40 OFM race........... But then again every group does have a few diesel engines that works like mules at the front. I hope to be one as well

The weather looks OK. Very little chance rain (and Bloem is not known for morning showers).... moderate temps but windy. This is however a "highway" race so snuggle up in the bunch. Just be carefull if there is crosswinds.......... When getting tired dont go to farinto the road to get that wheel as it is still the N1!!!!! Also watch out when those 36 wheelers come past in the wind it can chance a few people's "lines" quite easily. All in all just be responsible and concentrate.......... What I want to know is when is the lucky draw for those 2 Merida bikes?

But normally a treadmill does have a speed indicater? Thug thanks. Will probably go that route.

Lastly I see there is a Triathlon Bundle also available but it seems you get the same in any case? Can anyone confirm if this is the same as the normal R5.199 as at Sportsmans Warehouse? http://www.buycycle.co.za/buygear/gps/garmin-en/garmin-forerunner-910xt-bundle-garmin.html

Ok I am going with the 910XT. Just one question. If it does already have GPS and all that then why is a footpod optional? What does it do?

Thx

Who sells these?
