It is pretty spacious in the lateral skull attachment department. If you get dropped you just turn the helmet around and the pointy bit will cover your "visage of shame"

You are way better off using the Watt bikes, if you are at the Virgin Active that is. Much more focused training, power doesn't lie

Dane, you can lend my Rudy Project Wingspan if you want to the part.

If you get bitten, hightail it for Vincent Pallotti hospital, phone ahead, I think they are one of the few places that have available anti-venom, Tygerberg hospital may be another. Snakebites are rarely fatal, but make great braai stories.

Iron Man 70.3 South Africa Iron Man South Africa That's R3000 in discounts right there. Fantastic

And that's why my favorite part of the DC is hearing the post ride Hot Chillee war stories, I trust that I will be as entertained as usual.

Its reached the point where, for many, deliberate evasion is going to be a more attractive option than forking our outrageous fees for permits

jeepers dude, incredible report, hard hitting stuff

You need a serious "human interest story" or a bloody good cause to support. Conventional corporates are just not going to throw cash at you or cover your entry so that you can ride in some branded kit and finish 300th. My advise, bite the bullet and fork out the cash - you wont regret it.

No, it was something of a tongue in cheek reply. Where I was going is that sometimes there are time pressures and you need to get of the mountain ASAP. Other times it is too wet to ride the singletrack and you need to stick to the jeep track to avoid damaging the trails.

That's Ironman with a capital I, please

You forgot hardtail

Riding time = 24 mins from home to Tokai, 1 hour to the mast, 15 mins to ride down & 21 mins to get home. Amount of riding time granted by wife = 2 hours. As soon as I can take a nice chunk of time of the rest of my ride I will hit the singletrack until then, I will leave it to the baggy pant brigade

I better stop playing angry birds while I cycle then

Sponsored development rider?

Alex is going to have to do some serious damage control to his brand. Leaving out a new date for the race is a serious mistake, he may as well call it like it is, cancelled!

Without any doubt. I am sicked by this, as are most of us. But in cases like this it sometimes comes down to cyclists vs motorists and the less self inflicted reputational damage done to ourselves the better. There are a few hotheads here that make great copy

Did someone steal his boat at the end?

Guys keep it tidy please, we all know what we think of Mr Evans, but the hub is clearly being checked out by reporters and the like, so the usual vitriolic attacks on the dude wont help Alriza.

Oh no you didn't just go there?

Yes a bit more support would have been nice, then I wouldn't have had to take on the fat cop alone

Tidy showing, good to meet copperhead and a few others - lets hope that we can keep the interest up

Average of 412 watts for the hour

I will be there tomorrow at 8:30
