I stand to be corrected, but the 4.5 million was raised by charities using the 94.7 as a platform - they did not give a way the 94.7 I am proud to be part of the Cows who raised just over 3 million of that 4.5 million

A regular race is R180 with no road closures, so R300 for full road closure isn't too bad and when else are you going to ride through down town Jozi on a bicycle..

I really hope for you it isn't passed on to your daughter, that would be awful but hopefully it has strengthen her immune system too. This thread has been great knowing that its not just me, and there are others in the same boat. I too have given up on blood work and my doctor - its just too expensive to be told the same thing over and over. And I go with you sleep deprivation is far better than this fatigue.

I have them lying in my fridge and I have to have them in batches of two. One doesn't always work and they aren't all that they are cracked up to be. Also they boost you a bit, so you think you are hundred, end up over doing it and then you are even worse off than before I have friend who also suffers from this, and they don't work on her at all. Its almost like this knows what your weaknesses are and attacks that, so for each person its different, which is also why I reckon it takes so long to know whats the cause. You are treated for the symptoms and not the cause.

I got it 18 years ago, it wasn't picked up at the time and a couple years later I picked up glandular fever. The two of these combined with adrenal fatigue make for a nice combination. The depression is what gets to me most, along with the constant fatigue, it makes for such a delightful combination - really sucks the life out of you. The only thing you can do is boost your immune system and hope for the best. I have definitely found that somethings will work for a couple of months and then stop work, thats it and you are back at square one. Eating right and drinking right and sleeping as much as you can see to be the biggest help, that and determination to get better. The hardest part is trying to get people to realise that when you say you are tired its not just because you have had a late night, in fact you have had 10 hours if not more sleep, your muscles ache and you are shattered and feel the life has been sucked out of you, and that the simplest chore of getting out of bed is actually seriously hard work, So many people don't realise that fatigue is a disease as much as depression and flu are.

Another question... You mention that if we want to be timed, we must bring our timing chips to registration. Ummm what chips are you using? Racetec, Championshit or another brand?

You and me both, wonder if I remember how to ride a bike

Glad to hear that it is till happening On your site, could you please put the routes and profiles for both the road and mountain bike.. But your site still isn't working, mine still takes me to the Russian Pool massages

Bronabee you have me intregued, I see you come from my home time #568

Guesisng because the mountain bike and crit are at gateway

I went on to the site using chrome and it just didn't happen - took me to some russian pool massage site, but I opened it in firefox and it worked. Site is www.tourdurban.co.za And the email addy you are after is andrew@impiconceptevents.com - I just mailed to see if I could get the route and if its still happening. Have you done the mtb before? Is it worth doing? Was thinking of doing both.. But would really like to do the road

Yah Yah Yah!!!

According to the site its still happening but does anyone know what the route is? The site is not at all helpful

I am doing this one with my Dad Really looking forward to it

Goody bag wasn't as good as last years, but still one of the better ones so no complaints there. I did the 62km and I definitely won't be doing it again. Had to start right at the back because I dropped down from doing the long. My soul, do these people not have a brain? Do they not drive cars during the week? Do they not think about anyone else other than themselves? The majority seem to think its okay to ride in the middle of the road and bob and weave all over the place and make damn near impossible for anyone to pass them. Its not a race with full road closure so you kind have to be aware that cars want to pass and also are allowed to be there. I dunno... Some people... Saw far too many accidents for my liking. Marshals were awesome as were the bike marshals - but then again they always are. As were the peeps at the water table.
