I have just bought both Kefir and Kombucha from ProHealth in Pretoria, they delivered via courier within 2 days, courier charges included in price http://theprohealthshop.com/milk-kefir-grains.php

Where was the full road closure??? Enjoyed it till we got to Soweto then it was a fiasco. Where were the marshalls?? Majority of intersections had no marshalls, wasted energy dodging taxis and buses who had free access to the roads because there was no one stopping them. Saw a lot of very small children riding and as a parent I would not have been happy taking my child along those roads! Vilakazi Street was great, eventually got to see Mandela's house, distance created a problem for those who were not that fit and did not take enough hydration. Only felt comfortable in the Rhea Via lanes. Enjoyed it, but will give it a miss next time ...

702 News bulletin said he died of heart attack

I did it with my son who said he had not trained so would fall back and ride with me in Group N. He is 30 and I am 56. He was like a Duracell bunny giving me updates of our progress and urging his old mother on. Did my best time of 3H43, was the best ride ever and very special as he stayed with me like a mother hen and we crossed the finish line together.

Problem when you have a rental car ....

To their credit they reacted quickly and have removed, thanks RaceTime

Just noticed that my full ID number together with my name is included in the list of results for the Serengeti Mtb yesterday. Surely this poses a huge security risk for someone to use our details ???

Not sure that I like my ID number posted for all to see ....

Results are posted - strange way of displaying though, you cannot see your overall performance, just by age group ...

These races seem to be getting more and more technical with serious climbs, not suitable for the average recreational rider. Caught up with the 20km riders quite early in the race, they were hanging onto that fence for dear life with the faster riders screaming past them, as for the sludge pit ... heard some okes threw a few punches cause one of them rode into his wife. What are you hoping to achieve, a lot of boasting about the numbers, think that next time there will be two less.

R50 to do 5 boring laps - think not ...

think the reason for poor response is the Nissan event the day before ... bad planning, we're doing both cause we need more training

why are we being charged an additional admin fee of R21+ for entry via Champion Chip ????

entered the Dunblane mtb ride yesterday, same charge via ChampionChip. This happened before when I entered a team for the Van Gaalens 24 hour, the charge then was in excess of R100. Was told then that they could not charge an admin fee. Makes me livid, you are in the last stages of the process and then only learn about this extra charge, no mention of it upfront !!!!

Entered here https://secure.onreg.com/onreg2/front/step1.php?id=1716. Received confirmation that my entry and payment had been received. Sitting at work behind my desk, no hotspot, no wifi. Bank told me not to use card, they would issue a new one. Asked what alerted them to phone me, said I had never bought at this store. See there is an EA Store trading in SA Rands (Origin), the transactions were in Euro's.
