The missing Argus waterbottle thread from a year ago has to rate right up there..... https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/71735-missing-argus-water-bottle/page__st__20__p__1036751__hl__waterbottle__fromsearch__1#entry1036751

I did the short distance and mine has "27km - Finisher 2011" on it.

Doen jy die lang- of kortroete? Jy kan dit in my kar toesluit as jy wil - solank daar net nie 'n bom in die sak is nie!

Bahrain was shelved due to the unrest there. Pity - can't wait to watch it in HD... going to be awesome!

Anyone doing this? To those who did it last year - what was the 26km route like?

Some people ride in suites.... Next year I'm doing it on a Unicorn!

Yeah! Managed a 5h54. Better than last year's 7h06. And on a MTB.

Their stickers for your helmet and bike are going to be the first things I trash when I get my goodie bag today.

Don't forget the old number plate and rubber mudflap at the back. Extra points for covering said mudflap with reflectors - you can never be too visible. And of course don't forget the radio aerial - just for the extra bit of bling.

Have a look in the archives - this is an old trick. Happened about 6 months ago. There was also a guy advertising stuff available in a shop in Bloemfontein, but when someone when to check out the address it was an open field!

I wonder what people say when they see it coming along? "Here comes that C**t again"

Holy crap - that is beautiful! * fills in lotto ticket - again *

In my next life, I want to come back as a bicycle - and specifically THAT bicycle!

Google is your friend!

Does a Dirty Sanchez count?

Has anyone ever tried one of these methods? I can't believe a magazine wold publish stuff like this? http://www.bicycling.co.za/list/effective-cycling-training-methods

Only a cell no? And a gmail domain address?

I'm sorry, but do they think people are stupid? Regurgitating articles from a year go? Their "business model" needs agood look at. They're losing this reader. Why would you need to grow a magazine even more if you're already selling 3 x more than your nearest competitor? Interesting stuff for next year? I'm sorry I'll be missing it.....

And just wait until The Argus rolls around -we'll probably see a repeat of "109 best ever Argus tips"....

Man, that is poor. I got a subscription from my gf a few months back as a gift. When it ends, I really won't be renewing. There really isn't enough content to keep me interested. And now this? Swak!

What about riding down? Would be a good warm-up....

Probably been taken with a very wide angle lens.

Yep - these are the types that I share the neighbourhood with! Found out this morning that my neighbours actually chain their car to the wall at night. Rough isn't the word......
