I cannot tell a lie its me

I must admit this race was on my race calendar BUT I decided not to take part because I thought the entry fee was expensive considering it was R90 to enter the race as well as another R26 entrance fee. In addition petrol and tolls to Pretoria and other incidentals. The costs all-in-all make it a very expensive 11km run. So no I dont think its worth it.

What gets me is the minute you mention triathlon or put the letters "tri" in anything the price goes through the roof and not just the race entries

Still cannot find it I suppose I cannot see the pricing is because it is hidden by one of those "access denied" policy restrictions our brain dead IT security team has setup. Are there pictures of scantily clads girls I am not allowed to see on the Iron Man site.

Yes Werner has left Troisport and it is my understanding he is going to live down in Raynard Tissink country. Lucky chap

Can I please ask where you see the pricing ? I've looked at the site and cannot find any mention of pricing.

If you are buying from Cajees in Roodepoort thats fine when it comes to finding the best deal. When it comes to servicing and maintaining your bike speak to Joshua "cyclists workshop" cnr william nicol and foutain roads fourways. His number is 0732617483 best bike mechanic around.

I have some very serious reservations about cycling in Joburg city centre on a friday night ! Is there gonna be some sort of police presence or escort ? Best check to make sure your life and bicycle insurance premiums are up to date before undertaking this venture.

I want to order a TT frame from Ribble cycles UK. I have UK bank account and have no problem paying and sending this to a UK address. They dont ship to SA though. How much is this going to cost to ship to Sandton, Joburg ? or rather is this in scope for you ?

I think the view from the top of Krugersdorp is ok BUT nothing like that ! its pictures like this and the fact that I am a DA fan (and I am not referring to bicycle parts here ) fan just make you want to move to Cape Town

I like the groupset prices XT = 299 euro wow . Dont see any TT stuff guess the krauts not into tri ? my old man is going to Germany in June to visit family think I need early xmas present this year.

Its winter gasp have'nt been on my bike for weeks ! concentrating on improving my running and swimming and trying to curb those winter kilos. Time and logistics allowing I think enter as many races as possible the best kind of training ever. The biggest issue I have is I usually end up cycling on my own and not having much competition. Road races provide ample companionship and lots of aggressive competition. Distance depends on whether you intend doing Iron man, 70.3, 5050 or Sprint tri's come this summer. Personally anything below 60k's is a waste of time

and how do you think i'm gonna feel watching you on that Fuji and me riding the Raleigh ? Thanks but my old mate at Westdene has a very sweet deal waiting for me on a tri6000. I'm afraid with 2 teenagers 1 in matric this yr, new cars and varsity etc, its all I MIGHT be able to afford.

Now all I need to do is find R20k for the TT bike !!!! do you think they will let me pay it off over the next hundred years <br><br><br>actually looking at the site think i'm gonna need at least 60K !!!!! arghhhhh<br>

Just follow the normal procedure. just dont use email YUK.

and you been around the block how many times ?

if you get yr hands dirty often like i do working on cars, bikes and bicycles soaps etc will dry out yr skin and then you need to use moisturizer often as well, otherwise you gonna have hands that look like sand paper one day and you never quite get rid of all the dirt, so not cool with the babes . best is just to use latex works very well.

but why would they NOT be stamped ? what kind of a stamp is it and when should it be stamped ?

yes i would also like to know

I cant believe. I had the entire week off while resting my left calf and all was looking good for a Monday avie 10k. Sunday morning about 3am I wake up my right calf is cramping and I am in extreme pain ? Got some slow mag from chemist today. Hopefully this will sort out this issue. Dont worry guys I'll try not crap in the pool tomorrow

I hope Stevie Wonder is right about the "Ons sal dit oorleef" part or is he being a bit dramatic

+1000000, I think all politicians are jerks , but what to do about it .... run for the hills, hide (dont forgt MTB)

I want to know what shorts Rynard Tissink wears during an Iron Man ?

I dont see the pricing either ? I did however put my name down for pre-registration. I'm kinda hoping its not going to be more than R500 per race.

Which brooks saddle did you get ?
