I use cramp stop, before and during a race, take rennies before and during a race and now I'm even trying a "pain-gone" http://www.paingone.com/introduction.htm (the looks and questions "are you diabetic, is that steroids?" and .... ... .. .. ..I STILL CRAMPED! (although only at 90km instead of the usual 80km)

aaaaaahhhhhh hugs all round

Bob, I understand that you feel he has changed the tone of the article from a condemnation of the cyclist to a rant and rave at the lowest level. I don't condone his tone, but I understand that he is frustrated. I don't think that his use of obscene language is unjustified or gratuitous (I think that's the right word) . Taking out your frustration on a kid sitting on a potty (or not as it sounds like in your case) is totally different to the article at hand. Would this article stand up in a mainstream newspaper... definitely not! Is he right? You agree he is.. do you respect his point of view? maybe... do you like his style of writing... certainly not. Should I be working instead of writing this ummmm Pass the salt please

Fetch me a coke whilst you're at it. Ok, so he shouldn't swear in his column. Oh my mister taxi, you really shouldn't have pulled out in front of me as I ride past you resulting in me swerving off the road and causing my lovely road bike to take on the role of a mountain bike. O come on... he's frustrated. A simple well worded column wouldn't get a second glance. But on the other hand, he has lost your respect for dropping to the level of all other frustrated human beings. Actually change the coke to a slush please

I agree with Popeye. Cyclists keep on bitching about no respect on the road, but when it suits them, they forget the law. I think his tone is indicative of the frustration that he feels. Bear in mind, he's also on a 2 wheeler albeit a little faster (though not much if I look at some of the times the hubbers are riding) Tell me you feel civil when the taxis keep on going through red robots, on the wrong side of the road, in the emergency lanes and on the dirt shoulder of the road. Now look at his point of view. (and don't say its different because bikes aren't as dangerous as taxis) (By the way, Andrew has a policy with the club..NO GOING THROUGH RED ROBOTS) The new policy is stop cyclists not cars on club rides.

looking forward to it.

Call it a chanukah gift to yourself

Excellant!

Man, I have never heard so much moaning before! You know upfront it's going to take awhile to get your stuff (took me longer to my kids than mine.) I left my number with one of the people and he brought it to me whilst I was getting my daughter's number. This took oh about 6 MINUTES! (went at 4pm) I stood in line to enquire about reseeding 10 minutes. Chatted to the lady about reseeding (really helpful) 6 minutes. Walked through the expo twice and left. Get over it! If it's a mission, ask someone on the hub to collect your stuff and arrange to get it on Saturday. There are more important things in life than moaning about registration and the goody bag.

bugger

Slight hijack along these lines though. They are busy upgrading the road between fourways and kyalami. Anybody got any idea who we contact now to try and get them to put at best a smooth cycle lane and at least a wide curb so that this becomes a cycle friendly road? Anybody?jeremyd2007-11-01 10:11:11

Fallacy : The customer is always right Reality. The customer is always king but not always right.

I'll have 2 soft serves with a flake please. Can you also put that pink strawberry stuff on.

I got smarties, anyone want some?

welcome to the biggest loser's club. 1,74cm weight a mere 95kg. you can take me on the uphills, but you can't touch me going down! (ok a month agao I was 98kg so we are doing something about it)

who said anything about polo. It's the discovery channel's program on big cats.

continental gp force phuuutuuiii!!!! 3rd puncture in 2 weeks!

thanks daemon

why'd you bother entering in the first place?!

This is kinda a semi hijack. WHere can I find a pump that pumps my tubbies to 12bar. All the ruddy pumps only go to a max of10 and are incredibly difficult to use

just a little carbon reminder. https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=16827&KW=cervelo go titanium!

Mampara you get your swimming costume wet?

Excellant!, let's hope we see more of our local riders given a chance in the TDF
