  1. Gambler - check Alcohol problem - uncheck all the above
  2. Eina bliksem! Not a section I would like to do twice, especially at night. Can only imagine the disappointment of the navigator in him/herself when he realized what went wrong, and what lies ahead that has already been done. Sleep wastes time...not. Eastwind also proofed it. Made a couple of booboos myself on the last MTB. Missed 2 turn-offs costing around 40min on the last sleepwalking mtb. Also a couple of slower route choices. Probably not that bad considering what could have been. Just started to loose hope on the Bingo(!) Dunes CP when we got hauled in by the awesome threesome (Team Running Shade). Our jaws dropped as this English and Frenchman nav combo orienteered us spot on to CP48 using the stars. I learned a lot this race.
  3. My fingers are literally shaking as I type and it has been doing so for about a week or so now. So much that can go wrong between 4 people in a team. Travelling, packing and obviously in the race...injury, illness, navigation errors. So much preparation and commitment can end in tears of disappointment so easily. Leaving today with 12hrs "alone time" driving to ponder the "what the hell was I thinking" issue. BUT, the excitement of the unknown, the scramble of pre-race planning, the meeting of new friends including my 2 new partners I am about to meet for the first time, mind boggling challenges and the beauty of nature always wins. Nothing like racing through star filled nights day after day... Drive safe. Have fun.
  4. See you there! Soiling myself even before I saw this clip. Note: hiking through here also.
  5. I had that also end 2008. Horrible. Performance never the same again. Remember Jacques "Bigblade" Rossouw? Also had that or something very similar. Still wish I could know what he would achieve if not for that. World class.
  6. Free entry to the Hoër Volkskool Varkfees 5km and 10km trail run 10km, 30km and 60km mtb Start from the Heidelberg army camp (yes, part of the route will be in army camp for those who remember riding there before it got fenced closed) Safe parking Contact Wikus Boshoff from Heidelberg cycling on 082 780 0117
  7. You must not eat it, you must put it in the tjoops! This happened to a friend's bike 2 days after the bike shop put it in his tire. Had to take it out and we then fitted some from a fresh bottle I had.
  8. Possibly the best painting I ever saw
  9. Hey man, great job! Those two Supergooses takes the cake. Btw, edit yourself out from that night ride pic and there is a perfect pic for the "ladies and bicycles" thread
  10. So I had to see what you going on about. Another 53sec wasted man.
  11. Crater cruise, what is that? Like a booze cruise or more like a grey import of a Santa Cruz?
  12. So true! And no, I cannot explain it to you.
  13. This is a great one! Team Dust Chilling looking forward to some singletrack time in the saddle. @Scotty, @NotSoBigBen, seeing you there again? http://www.entrytime.com/index.asp?GoTo=EventInfo&EventID=4229
  14. Movement of the pedals is not unusual for Shimano clipless pedals. Usually only needs a tightening of the nuts that pushes the ball bearings configuration tight. A quick fix, but careful if you want to try it yourself!! PM me if you need help.
  15. Update please. Has man and best friend been re-united? Would love to hear a good news story right now.
  16. You sure? Looks more like the Total garage on the N3 just North of Heidelberg.
  17. They are not going to believe me if if say I have an appointmnet with Mr Santa
  18. Imagine that broken Carbon parts digging into the flesh like a hot knife in butter. True story!
  19. Seriaaas!!! I am at an affiliated gym at R450/m, unlimited sessions. Not living in Rip-offville though.
  20. Do not underestimate the pedal power and fitness crossfit with give you! You should also not pick up too much unwanted muscle mass where you do not want it.
