You should have worn your watermelon helmet. Well done, good time.

Ditto on well organized event. Decent race packs. And yes, I survived! My first tri (and my first run ever , besides the 4 training ones I had) and managed to come in under my 4:30 goal - 4:17:33. 35m on swim, 1:43 on ride (with a lekker bail in the 1st km), 1:45 on run. and 12m on transitions! Eish. Thanks for the pre race tips jiggy, im sure I would have blown without them.

Cannondale scalpel: R85, 000. But on a more relevant note... saw a pin today: you are not stuck in traffic. You ARE traffic. Would love that on my back for my commutes in.

Tell her to get rid of the tubes. Then ride often and hopefully you can stay inflated for the duration. Now excuse me, I have a mind to go clean.

I'd rather get a DNF that do the last 2km in the back of a bakkie and still cross the line (even if I still come stone last with assistance). Ride it to the end, or you DNF.

mapmyride.com draw where you rode. you'll have to average out the speed yourself. If you're feeling bored, you can open the generated file (it's XML) and adjust timing between entries. Otherwise use a previous route and search & replace the timestamps in the XML (you can open it with wordpad / notepad).

I don't think anyone said it backwards yet: avarts

Head up Spionkop.

I'm waiting for some more Sappi plantations to be cut down for printing purposes.

You did it last year too, i even saw in the results. Flipped slow bud, flippen slow. 5h30. tsk tsk.

very cool.

Dunno when you got them for that at Builders, but I think they cottoned on to the market. I bought 2 for ~ R240 when I was there last June / July. *edit* - here's a similar thread - https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/129154-best-way-to-hang-bike/

Done.

Oh to be on my bike right now. Instead of stuck in this.

this looks damn interesting....

Gatsby's are awesome. A cpt only phenomenon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatsby_%28sandwich%29 Gatsbies usually consist of long bread rolls cut lengthwise and opened up to form a sort of cradle which is filled with various fillings. While the choice of filling in a Gatsby varies widely depending on customer preference and vendor, one standard item is usually hot chips i.e. French fries. Different varieties of Gatsbys include masala steak, chicken, polony, Vienna sausage, calamari, fish, and chargrilled steak.

yasssis.

+1 - after riding it for 8 months, had my first taxi-bumping incident last week on Cedar @ Lisabank. I do the route at least once a week (cradle to sandton in the am) and you don't even need to ride on Cedar to avoid the risk - head out the back of Broadacres straight into Chartwell. You can ride all the way to Harties touching tar twice to cross roads.
