Ge4orce

Actually got the time from FS cycling president and the winning time was about 2h 20 min. I did 2h 46 min I just wanted to gauge how far I was behind the winners.

Anyone knows who won this race that happened on 22/02/2014 in Bloemfontein? What was the winners time?

That really sucks. My one friend was hijacked there and shot in the leg. The dude is ok now. I was just fortunate to have cycled that route for two years constantly without problems.

Did not except so many replies in one day. As I started the post I will give my best times. Burger cycle tour 2010 (98km) in 3h 27 min and 2011 Argus in 3h 32 min, this was also my first Argus. Not great times but I for a novice I think they are ok.

Damn I wish I was that fast :-)

That's not my intention. Would just be interesting to know who is fast. Maybe get some advice and tips from the guys who are actually fast. I am not that fast but I keep struggling with injuries.

So who is the fastest guy and girl on the hub? I am talking of people who are not Pro riders. Post some of your times from any of the well known races in SA. You can even brag if you want to :-)

That's a pity. I am also thinking about getting cyclocross wheels as where I currently live I cannot train on my hybrid and my MTB sucks so I do not enjoy riding that very much.

The shifters are deore and the rear derailleur is deore LX

Just figured out how to post a picture properly so I added my photo again so that it displays correctly. Mine is not as nice as Gummibears' hybrid but it still rides quite nice

He is referring to me when I said that my wrist pains too much when I am riding with normal handlebars.

Hier is my hybrid. Dit is n raleigh RC 3000. Dit het n Shimano 105 Hollowtech crank en 105 front derailleur. Die shifters en rear deraileur is shimano deore LX. Rims is Mavic Ksyrium Equippe. Weeg so 9.4kg. Gaan nog onder die 3 ure aan die Argus ry op dit:-)

I would like to know if there are any other cyclists on the hub who ride a hybrid. Please give your specs,post some photos or just anything you have to say about hybrids. I personally ride a hybrid as I have problems with my wrist after an operation so I have pain when I ride a normal road cycle because of the bend of the bars.

Jip Andrew Smith van die Maties is ook altyd bereid om te help.

I really cannot remember the Docs name. I think it's Charl or Christo. Its in Andringa str. he's logo is red with some writing. I will try to find out.

That Doctor is at the Andringa Medical centre. I was there last year. The Doc himself is also a triathlete

Hi there are few places in Stellenbosch you can go to for a bike setup. Mason's bike inn ask for Mason himself. BMT cycles I think Steven/Stuart is the guys name. Flandria cycles are also good but they are usally quite busy. Otherwise there is a Doctor/ Sport pysician on your right in the Street that passes Brazenhead just before the robot that goes to Springboks/Mcdonalds. Cannot remember the Docs name but he did my setup as I had knee problems and I have never had problems again afterwards. I used to ride in Stellenbosch for two years so I know the setup and the cyclists of the area. Ask if you need anything else.

Thanks I was thinking nowbody could help.

I would just like to know if there still are trials for the Northern Cape team. Any information on where, when or who to contact would be appreciated.

Haha ok once I get old and slow I will add alcohol to my ride.

For races I use one bottle cytopower and one Epic turbo and I use my camelbak for water. The tubes,tools, levers and gels and food all go into my backpockets. I come from a warm climate yet on 3h rides I cannot use just 2 bottles. Do you guys with only 2 bottles stop for water or do you just don't drink that much?

Look I admit Contador is good. My point is just that Andy Schleck has accomplished much more than most of us can say. I just feel he deserves some respect for that. Also the guy is injured it is unreasonable to expect him to ride the Tour de France yet now everyone says he has no backbone.

Why do so many of you hate Andy Schleck? Contador has no respect for anyone and is a much worse sportsman, yet so many of you seem to like Contador?

Hi guys I would like some opinions on what bike you guys think is the best mountain bike for +- R 10 000. It must be a hardtail 26 incher. I am looking for a lightweight bike with a good groupset. I am currently looking at the Merida Matts TFS 900, however I am a road cyclist so I don't really know much about mountain bikes.

I average 29 km/h on flat roads at high altitude over 95km on my own. I also once averaged 28.6 over 44km which included two passes, although in the process of doing this I ended up with tendonitis.
