Maybe this will help. Its all I could find http://www.cyclingsa.com/Article.aspx?uid=613

Ebucks. Now we talking. Bike shops take note. Look at Dischem. If you buy stuff you swipe your Dischem card then you swipe your Ebucks card and then you swipe your Fnb card and you get ebucks for eveything. Maybe theres a national cycle retailer that coulf team up with Ebucks

Just to clarify something CPR is not indicated should you stop breathing due to paralysis but if you do stop breathing chances are you heart will stop in a min or two. Great post montyzuma. +1

We are waiting.

Me 2. Is it perhaps what we want in goodie bags at races. Be more specific please.

Just affirming what most hubbers have said here. Dont suck on the wound , doesnt work. Compression bandage helps applying it from as high up on the limb and working toward the wound, crepe bandage works well. Carrying antivenom is a no no as its expensive, is snake specific. Only certain hospitals keep it so check which one in your area if youre concerned about it. Otherwise hospitals do supportive managemant. Puffies are bad news as the venom damages the tissue at the site and you get bad septiceamia of limb leading to gangarene and then possible amputation of limb if left untreated. Cobras etc have neurotoxic venom attacking your central nervous system so your body is paralysed , you drop you stop breathing you die. If your buddy knows Cpr, good.Hopsital will put you on a ventilator until you can breathe on your own if you make it to them. Best chance you have of survival is find out who is the helicopter rescue service in your area. In the Western Cape, Free State, Natal ( Durban, Richards Bay) Nelspruit and Polokwane its the Red Cross Air Mercy Service in conjuction with the Dpt of Health. Gauteng has Netcare. Discovery has a heli in Cpt with ER24. Keep a cellphone, medical aid, drivers licence with you always. Private hospitals dont like med aid cards without form of id with you. 107 is the number you wanna call if you dont have the above organisations. Try and get a proper bearing on your position or gps co-ordinates. It makes it easier for heli to find you. Send someone if possible for help. People do survive snake bites its not all doom n gloom.

like my car I prefer to wash my bike myself. Usually I just use car wash or some diluted Kleen Green for the grimy stuff. Works well for me.

As far as I can recall if your hemoglobin level for a male is below 12 then they will not accept you as a donor.

As much as we want to help others sometimes we are not able to. Your red blood cells carry the oxygen to your cells in your muscles and organs allowing you to enjoy our sport. Fixing the problem by constantly taking iron supplements to counter the anemia is not a good long term solution. Have you had a look at your diet to supplement your iron intake if you want to continue donating. Try not donating for the specified time prescribed by your doctor or blood bank without taking supplemental iron and then follow a balanced diet. After a few months have your hemoglobin checked and if its still low then there might be a problem elsewhere. Discuss with your doctor then about having a gastroscopy ( thats the pipe with a camera they stick down your throat to check for bleeding in your gut and then theres another thinga-ma-jig they shove somewhere else as well). Might not be the blood donations causing the problem.

Where is it available? Is it a download or gonna show at some Nouveau cinema or can you only buy it. Any reviews yet?

You probably having holiday in Margate this year.

Still doesnt beat the Assos lady.

Remember that muscle weighs more than fat. Has your body fat % dropped? Just to be safe do a fasting glucose. Do test early morning without eating then u get a finger prick test for blood sugar. Doing it that way gives you accurate result. Sounds like you just getting fitter and in better shape. Have you lost weight in general or just your waist.

Refer to Rules of the cog in this forum, rule #34

Checkout Rant n Rave, Rules of the cog, rule #34. Im assuming youre using mountain bike shoes and pedals on a road bike.

I find this works. You can search the forums here for more options. Alternatively pop into a well known national cycle retailer for a computerised one with a printout of options for around R250 http://m.competitivecyclist.com/fit-calculator/ http://m.competitivecyclist.com/fit-calculator/

This might not be much but I jumped from Z to Q. Thanks Burger.

Bicycling did a test on the CAAD 10 awhile back. Very good reviews and better than most entry carbon frames. Have you had a look at full bikes from Cube at Complete Cyclist for something a bit different. Dont know what your budget is like. Nothing wrong with rhe Cannondale

Strangely enough I have a friend who 1st bought an Iphone and then later purchased an 10" Galaxy and the same day dropped the tab and landed face down. Maybe Steve had something to do with that.Hmmm.

Funny enough I have never had these issues even before I upgraded software. Only thing is I cannot upload pics in my posts. The IOS5 AND 5.01 upgrade is available from Istore, Digicape or Ifix in Cpt. Just take along a flash drive to download and then install at home as Admin suggested, just make sure to click on Restore and not Update. Alternatively you can have them do it for you and takes about 20min while you go do some shopping.

Mental skillz. Big up!

Now if only I could upload the pic from my fone

What should we rename Div's username? Pee Diddy perhaps.
