  1. by getting good race results perhaps?
  2. dude I was right on your wheel there! But no one really worked....I actually like Boyes, it just adds some more climbing as the rote is relatively flat....and the view is awesome!
  3. haha! Diet Protein? Is that the same as whey protein?
  4. the best is when they stop on a sharp corner on a descent to eat their peanut butter sandwich and take group pics.....argh.....been there before but luckily I was able to park my MTB in a bush...but i think the cherry on the top is when they ask....'Are YOU okay?'....
  5. I was almost run over yesterday, on a road that had roadworks coming from Klapmuts, guy in Audi pushes me off road onto gravel....get to stop sign as he awaits traffic to turn onto the R304 and he was there, I knocked on his window and was screaming at him (in anger) and traffic officer stopped to ask whats wrong...explained the situation.....guy got a ticket for reckless driving.....but honestly I wanted to beat his fat ass to a pulp (if it wasn't for his wife and little daughter inside)....drivers don't care about us cyclist....you will always see the heavy overweight people being the biggest problem or the guy in his fancy car RIP - So sad to read this
  6. Wake up as per usual, continue with my training program....racing Elites this Spring so can't really slack on the training...I just dress a lot warmer and use a big light
  7. I used to be a Crossmark fan, but struggled with traction around corners...changed to TL Ready Rocket Ron / Racing Ralph combo, bike handles like a dream now and it even rolls faster! So I am happY!
  8. Again, there will be sheriff costs involved, etc...just trying to say what had been done
  9. Do you need to be part of a club? Also how does the categories work?
  10. my friend drove into someone and he did the following....after the guy tried ripping him off with quotes he said okay lets go to small claims, he explained the situation....(guy drove a VW Golf GTI, had aftermarket parts but wanted original) to a lawyer, lawyer wrote a letter saying he will pay off the damages at R50 per month for 5 years....the guy never responded and left it as the small claims court it would have been accepted. In your case, the guy can say a similar thing that he will pay it off in installments, so you will just waste your time. That is why I have insurance, if someone drives into me while cycling, I claim from insurance and the insurance sort it out with him.
  11. Last year we cycled past Plett, this year it is towards Wilderness as 2010 was towards Wilderness as well. The route towards Plett is a lot harder than the one towards Wilderness (thats my opinion)
  12. I found this race quite interesting, not having been on my MTB in ages I enjoyed it, I did quite well on the climbs, but lacked on the descends, could notice my technical experience is not as it used to be. Awesome single track, had a few bottle necks but it was a very plesent ride. I will be back next year!

    I will be keen to join SuperSix, we have cycled together in some PPA races before
  15. Like?
  16. I weighed 97kg at one stage, i still climbed okay but noticed I struggled to hang on on the very long climbs, since then I lost 17kg's, weighing at 80kg's now I climb a lot better! Main thing is I did not lose muscle, so I still trained my climbing, etc....so I lost 17kg's of fat, what an incredible difference it made...I am still planning on shredding another 10kg's...you also get someone like Tiny K who is not your skinniest cyclist but he climbs very well, we say he has 100kg of muscle. So if it is not the weight, then start with strength training.
  17. Sounds to me like you had never sent it and rather than admitting you were at fault trying to clear your name, come now man, like you said communicate first with them before naming and shaming them. My first order and I done that and got my stuff within a few minutes.....I just paid online and collected it there....was quick.
  18. Also known as Tour de Suma and Tour de Sprin'g
  19. I am trying to get hold of Naas at Evo Bikes, does anyone have his number for me as he does not reply his PM messages Thanks
  20. okay....regarding the Lange tweet, if his team won would he still be bitching? Sounds to me he is a bit sour
  21. What kit were you in? I was in the front of the bunch when that happend and just heard some scraping behind me and people yelling...
  22. Now you have to remind me? Anyone wanting to buy a Fondriest TF2.... *sigh* I can't believe it, our bunch sucked tho, cross lining like beginners, not working together, not sure what was wrong with C comparing to last year....me and Zac caught loads off people, I got stuck behind back markers on chappies that is where I lost Zac and missed out on my Sub 3 by like 40seconds!!!
  23. wow, must be a honor to lift such a big trophy
  24. Sad to hear, atleast he left the world doing something he loved...RIP
