+1...waited in the 'queue' for less than 5 mins to do fingerprints + fill in the forms Awesome service Less than a month later I got an sms stating my ID and Passport where ready for collection

Shot!

I'm considering two of these for our Oz trip. I spoke to the owner and he's willing to sell me two at the advertised Argus 10% discount.

My wife and I are leaving for Oz land in 5 months and want our babies protected when in transit. I saw the BikeSafe ad in the cycling mag that came with the Argus seeding papers and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with these hard case bags?

Hey guys, if you're struggling to source FutureLife cereal, anywhere in the Western Cape, please contact my wife by dropping her a mail ('natalie at futurelife.co.za'). She's the dietitian representing FutureLife in the Western Cape and will contact the distribution company, to ensure that it's in the stores near you.

Thanks guys!! I really enjoyed this a lot!!!! A special thanks for waiting for the slow guys on the hills Nice meeting and chatting to some of you as well!!

As I've not met any of you before I wont know who's who in the zoo I'll be wearing a bright green Futurelife top and be on a black and white Giant TCR, so please do introduce yourself

OK I'm back in. Work all sorted.

I'm out. Work just happened and need to be in at 8am.

I hope you're not including me in that 'calibre'

Or lay spread eagle on the tar like last week... tail-gaiter

I think you should be at the front on the day.... preferably 5 car lengths or a block. Don't want you taking the whole group down by riding into the back of the bunch

I'm still game if it's a slower ride (4.5hr)! Don't really feel like cycling the full distance by myself once everyone has raced off.

I'm not saying it's a competition, but so far I'm winning

There fixed it for you

I'm keen to join you hooligans but will most probably hang out at the back with Pronutro (if I'm not slower ) My chubby ass can't do the pace you skinnies do.

So I ordered me a Garmin Edge 500 for my upcoming birthday...this is from the missus I got told today that the mother in-law is struggling to decide on a gift for me and the missus was tasked to subtly fish my end to find out what I wanted So seeing as I didn't order the Edge 500 bundle I thought here's my moment to do some upgrades before I've even gotten the main order What Speed/Cadence Bike Sensor can I get for the Edge 500 and where locally (SA)?

Is our RaceTec number our Argus race number?

I was beginning to wonder when I'd get my email. Went and checked my spam bucket (gmail) and true as Bob it was there Thanks for the heads up

I commute to the Waterfront from Parklands and on my way back from the office rather make use of the road from Sunset to Dolphin beach due to those buggers. My first encounter, after them mowing, gave me 2 thorns in the front tyre and 1 in the wall of the back tyre simultaneously. Fortunately I had a bottle of slime with me (I was on my mountain bike) which saved the day.

I bought my bike at Cycles Direct in Sunningdale, Cape Town and they told me to come in 2 weeks prior to us leaving and ask for 2x 'bike boxes' which they'll pack the bikes in for us. Apparently these are the original boxes the bikes get delivered in and are relatively hardy.

I also have a corsa utility with a canopy on. I like to have the bikes in the back concealed (windows are tinted black) pre and post race/training. My solution was very simple and cost R150. 1x plank, 2x hubs, 4x U clamps, 1x bungee cord and viola..... https://cdn.bikehub.co.za/uploads/monthly_01_2011/post-17801-0-17484400-1295380806.jpg

I would have loved to join but unfortunately already entered Sunday's race.

@Bikemonster - Where in Aus are you heading too? We're also on our way out (Sydney...were issued PR's visa's last year) but will only be leaving 5 September. Painters are busy on the house as we speak; doggie going into quarantine soon as well.

OK got a reply from her...happened on the bridge opposite The Paddocks heading towards Sunset Beach Sounds like the cyclist managed to get away but was nearly pushed into traffic on the bridge. I hope he/she is OK. Really sad to see/hear of things like this!!
