this sounds personal.

I envy YOUR commute

NICE

thanks so much for doing that.

I came across this course the other day after coming off the mountain at the boom just down the road from Rhodes Mem heading towards the exit. I took a ride back towards Rhodes Mem and sure enough the hole in the fence is still there, so i went on from that side, not realising that it was not supposed to be a free ride. I rode it backwards I guess but either way I think its really cool. Happy to pay the R 200, but to say that there is only one entrance via UCT is not currently correct. Cheers

maybe you have a filter on?

EXACTLY.

i got carted by a car the other day - woman, local, - and she pretended not to have seen/felt it happen. Luckily she had to stop at a robot and I was able to get up quick enough to tap on her window - she was still staring straight ahead so I smacked it a bit harder and she was like "oh did I bump you?" Luckily no real damage just a few roasties but damn she was not even slightly concerned...it was like i did not exist Idiot. Have to say in hindsight that it was a wake up call to me as I have kind of felt untouchable on the roads for a while now, so I will be a lot more aware of the power and mass of a car.

I greet the baboons at Tokai. They know me and acknowledge with a slight tilt of the head.

Thats why I ride a Mongoose - just in case I come across a cobra

yeah - epic fale more like it

socks and sandles? Is there a problem with that?

LBS. Lie, Brag, Steal. Also can't stand this shop. Unfortunately once got a Bridge gift voucher as a present, was forced to go there. Got some chain wax and had to hunt for someone to take my voucher. Never been back.

I just use a long cord. Oh wait....a cell phone..plastic bag in saddle bag. Went thru a huge weir crossing kind of thing the Die Burger a few years back. Had my phone, a banana, some notes and car keys in the saddle bag. Later, when I opened the bag to try to satisfiy my ravenous hunger I was confronted by amashed banana mess with greasy wet notes, worries about the circuit board of my key fob, and a very well lubricated tool (of the multi variety) My phone was history, totally. Nowadays even in the middle of summer I still put my phone in a plastic bag - its a habit

yes - i read that somewhere

I want to start joining you guys as soon as it is light.....

While I was freezing my ass off walking my hounds on the common this morning around 6.30, I saw what must have been between 10 and 12 lights up at the blockhouse, on their way down. Must have been chilly up there, especially freewheeling down. So, to whoever those guys are.....VERY IMPRESSIVE!!

Exactly.

Not really - you are spending more money to get someone more skilled or qualified and so you pay more for their specialised input

you were obviously going for a podium place

Yes and with the advent of the 29er era, the bottom is dropping nicely out of the 26er market meaning that there are some serious bargains to be had in the second and first hand if you are not hell bent on riding a 29er
