  1. Provisional date is 4 October but we are negotiable...or at least I am. Must be a Sunday so that Holy can be there. Which Sani are you doing?
  2. Bump. Who is keen?
  3. BA is going to start charging extra for bicycles as from 9 October or thereabouts.
  4. SAA is free on "1000; 7000; 8000 series" flights. Below is an email reply from them which I got 27 August 2009. Dear Valued Customer,<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> You have interpreted the paragraph correctly. The bicycle must not exceed 20kg. You will still be allowed the 23kg of baggage. With kind regards, Customer Care SOUTH AFRICAN AIRWAYS Tel : +27 11 978 2888 Fax : +27 11 978 9567 Email : Customercare@flysaa.com
  5. I don't think riding on the R55 near Olievenhoutbosch is a good idea. There have been some incidents close to that area in the past.
  6. Email notifications have been disabled as well.
  7. Hey Dirt*girl, I gave Holy a couple of things for the worthy cause yesterday. (I might have to refresh his memory about what I gave him as he had a bit of a lie-down whilst riding again. ) I've got a few more things I'd like to donate and will pass them on to Spud or Dirty Twin as I couldn't find the goodies in time for meeting up with Holy and co. Hope lots of donations are rolling in.
  8. Very glad to hear that he is okay. I came across your dad as he was being helped down to the car. Wishing him a speedy recovery.
  9. How about 4 October? We can use it as our "training" for the Crater Cruise.
  10. I'm keen. When did you have in mind?
  11. Owbout expanding a bit on this doc blue gunk? https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=24545&PN=15 I'm using Doc Blue. Am very happy with it so far.
  12. 1. Overpriced 2. Under specced 3. Heavier than the Merida and Giant. Don't bother Wynand. Only consider the SC if she's able to back-to-back it with a Merida and she honestly prefers it. If not' date=' stick to the Merida for a sure bet kick ass bike[/quote'] Not sure why you say it is under-specced. They don't sell them as complete bikes. You do however get part kits for it. I have one and my bike weighs 11.8kgs which I don't think is that heavy. I've had mine for 4 years now and if I had to buy another bike I would buy the Juliana again. I feel so comfortable on it.

    The only way you will get to ride it is by partnering someone who already has an entry as only one substitution per team is allowed this year.

  15. That was a long time ago and I have moved onto bigger animals...like sheep! Okay, I'm mentally prepared for it now...go ahead and tell me the story behind this.
  16. That was a long time ago and I have moved onto bigger animals...like sheep! I am worried about you two (and concerned about my well-being this weekend)!
  17. Should I post the pic of what his hand looks like? Post it!
  18. Crashing?!? Hope you and your bike are still intact and ready for TB!

  20. He says he didn't crash. He just had a lie-down in the parking lot as he was tired (10 to 20 seconds into the ride)
  21. Brilliant pics, thanks! One of the pics is the worst case of helmet hair I've ever seen
