Make sure you get a proper setup done after purchasing, it makes a huge difference in terms of comfort and efficiency. Get a good service early in Feb including cables. Gives you enough time to pick up any niggles. If you gonna be getting tyres look at Gatorskins but put some miles on early in Feb as well before event. All new tyres are a bit slippery when new. Hospital bend is not a slip 'n slide.

@Tankman. When are K-edge mounts arriving? I would luf me a 'red wun' plees.

Julle maak my honger met al die praat van 'tjops'.

Wind is going to be pumping in the peninsula today and tomorrow over 50kph / 27knts. Looks like I will have to hit the spin bike for loosening up.

My take on this. Are you experiencing a fruity acidic smell? The ketones you might be smelling might be similiar to what happens with a diabetic when they do not have insulin to push the sugar into cells and their blood sugar level rises. The body then uses fat as energy for cells and gives off the ketotic smell. Hyperglyceamic patients have been mistaken at times to be drunk but in fact its the smell of ketones.

Everytime I check the weather for Sunday it seems to get 'worsererer'! Gonna be some light rain on the course. Lets hope they wrong.

Going up the new Hells should genuinely warm you up.

I thought all women are reading the Tril-ogy of 50 Shades of grey.

I scheme that R84000 price tag added with Super Record, the Enve's, decent cockpit and some nice pedals, easily R150000.

I can see the advantage of having yours toes seperated by the sock as you would less likely get a fungal infection but if the sock is too small it could chaffe between your toes.

I dont like snake oil.

Was in Sportsmans Warehouse and came across these socks that have individual partitions for your toes. Claimed to reduce blisters and hot feet, better arch support and moisture management for better hygiene. The Injinji brand retail for R189. Anybody use these or another brand while cycling? I can see there application being used in those funny running shoes with individual toes. Thanks in advance.

Now there's an Aussie I good get to like.

Seems like you will have to travel to Aussie for this one. Custom fit at factory. www.baumcycles.com

Now I have had it. My Tuc biscuits are broken. Unacceptable!

Glamour magazine, Oct 2012 nogal.

Either I got shortchanged or goodie bags are getting worse. A Glamour magazine, 2 buchu first aid gel, a snackpack of Tuc biscuits. Wait, wait my race number is made of material and not paper. I didnt even get safety pins!

Racetec chips.

Got my number and goodie bag. Dont get excited about goodie bag though. A magazine, deodarant, buchu gel and Tuc biscuits.

Mens sal sweer dis die Argus. Registration at River Club is busy.

Jinne maar jy het lang bene?

Pods are sold in boxes of 10 for R 55- 65 a box depending on the blend.

A Sub 2h30 is a 37 kph average for the whole route. Hope you are n the right group for that. Good luck.
