  1. Think you missed how he had his little girl doing a braai with an ice box outside their spot.
  2. Having done the 42km and 60km each more than 3 times, and having a painful problem on Friday, I decided to do the 50km and take it reasonably easy. Had 700m of climbing and one climb was heading towards 20%. Would recommend it to those who found the 42km tough who want a pleasant but reasonably fast day out. Only a few pieces of ST including a pleasant enough switchback climb and a nice bit next to the river.
  3. All you have to is push through to the front of your chute, all the while pretending to be blind and deaf so that everyone thinks you need the help of starting first. Be the solution, not the problem!
  4. That's like asking if taking the bus qualifies you as a coach?
  5. Did the 50km for a bit of fun. What stood out as interesting is that after joining the short route, little kids riding on their own seem to know what is going on around them and are really cute. Actually, little kids riding with their parents are also cute and generally observant. But the parents and older folk... Totally oblivious.
  6. Absolutely, saw the first ever wildebeest there today. Not sure if they are purposefully introducing new species but the zebra and Elland are breeding nicely and the springbok seem to be happy too.
  7. Dude, podiums are only for people who don't have Straaaaava! So don't get your hopes up... ????
  8. Perhaps we need to adopt a roadie approach... If everyone shouts 'lazy bastard' when one whizzes by, you can make plans to move over and avoid incident? © Buttox Industries, 2017
  9. Aaaah, in which case probably steer clear
  10. If you enjoyed the job Fincher did on Seven and Fight Club, give it a go.
  11. The David Fincher one is awesome. Have the three Swedish versions and found them a bit... slow
  12. Faf may be Bling's twin but his captaincy made a massive difference. It has been years since we have had such a definitive display of leadership in this team. AB might have done some incredible personal displays but his leadership is a bit dull and formulaic.
  13. From your finger pads to God's touchy-feely bits... Perhaps 'Kickstarter' will find value?
  14. There is a new cycle shop next to Ellies in Pinelands.
  15. Maharaj took one and Morkel. Root was dropped on 5. And again on 40, I think.
  16. Gees, just watched the highlights. Tend to try be chilled about things not working out on any given day but that was shockingly incompetent skills with the no-balls. And it's not the first time, either. And worse, the same thing happened in the warm-up game and was reported as being a concern to the bowling coach.
  17. This looks positively horrific. I would hate to be there. Hate, hate... ha... Sigh
  18. That Spez I-cycle is too cool for school.
  19. I have no clue, cos I went blind in my teens...
  20. Every time I search for 'maths debates' I get TED talks and that pic. Don't be ashamed.
  21. My OH and I have been being watching the first series of 24 cos she has never seen it. She is hopelessly involved - and I have mostly forgotten what happened so it has been fun. And Jack is now a professional cyclist. Crazy.
  22. Our little girl had both her back hips sorted by ops and then did the treadmill. She is now OK and living happily! #goodthoughts
  23. If you ever saw that movie 'Body of Evidence'you wouldn't have to think... How she didn't win an Oscar, i' ll never know
  24. Do what Madonna did, and rather ride a Ritchey, guy. See above ^^^
  25. Are the shaved legs also a first? Did you swear at other road users? Overcome by any bouts of paranoia and unwillingness to greet? #scienceexperiment
