In a farming community I lived we were terrorised by 'police" at night cause my husband went to the chief of the Investigators about police officers stealing sheep and transporting it with the van! They think they're untouchable!!!! and indeed it seems they are..... knippie2009-12-10 05:51:43

I just heard a horrendous story of a lady who is getting harrased (by a few police officers) when they found out she inherited a lot of money. They stalk her and send her sms'es to tell her, we know what you're doing now. (watering the garden) They even called her to tell her in 10 days we're going to shoot you. Then for the next 9 days she got sms'es to tell her 9/8/7 days left till we shoot you. Then they shot at her car!! 6 bullets through her vehicle. They've lauched different investigations but nothing comes of it. They've spent R35 000 on security around the house and it just keeps getting worse. They're thinking of emigrating and leaving the business to a relative!!

His practice has no room for new patients! Now, he's a medical wizard! I love this Doctor <?: prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" /> <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true? A: Heart only good for so many beats, and that it... Don't waste on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speed up heart not make live longer; that like say you can extend life of car by driving faster. Want live longer? Take nap. Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does cow eat? Hay and corn. What are these? Vegetables. So, steak nothing more than efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef also good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And pork chop can give 100% recommended daily allowance of vegetable products. Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake? A: No, not at all. Wine made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine. That means they take water out of fruity bit; get even more of goodness that way. Beer also made out of grain. Bottoms up! Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio? A: If you have body and you have fat, ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, ratio is two to one, etc. Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program? A: Cannot think of single one, sorry. My philosophy: No Pain...Good! Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you? A: YOU NOT LISTENING!!! .... Foods fried in vegetable oil. How getting more vegetables be bad for you? Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle? A: Definitely not! When you exercise muscle, it get bigger. You should only do sit-ups if want bigger stomach. Q: Is chocolate bad for me? A: You crazy? HELLO ... Cocoa beans! Vegetable!!! Cocoa beans best feel-good food around! Q: Is swimming good for your figure? A: If swimming good for figure, explain whales to me. Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle? A: Hey! 'Round' is shape! Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets. AND..... For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies: 1. The Japanese eat very little fat And suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat And suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 3. The Chinese drink very little red wine And suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 4 The Italians drink a lot of red wine And suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats And suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. CONCLUSION..... Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you. Bottom line: speak Afrikaans!

I can second that!!!!

we know two of the farmers and they are soooo upset with cyclists and guys with 4x4's, motor bikes and quads on their land and in their fields that they want to close the roads!! So No, they will not allow cyclists on their land or farm roads. We got stopped last Saturday by another farmer who declared that, that road is private and if he ever catches a cyclists there again.... and we we're on public road and didn't even enter an open gate! Too many asses has been crossing that line/border and just ridden/cycled on private land that the farmers has gotten fed up! I can understand it though.

Yes, Spes Bona is closest dirt road. Nice when you want to get a bit of training in and don't have lots of time. would be a shame! But hectic to think of all the hours we spent there and how unsafe it actually is!

One of the farmer's daughters had to pick someone up at the tar road junction and two shots was fired at her! She is in hospital with glass in her face, still. Saturday eve they were attacked in their house by 4 men with panga's The farmers asked us mountain bikers to please not cycle there at night! He says "julle f#@ my sekuriteit op" They're dogs are barking every time cyclists goes past and they never know if it is trouble or just mountain bikers. He says they get groups that goes through there till 11pm at night! The farmers in the area are trying to get that piece of road closed for good! We spoke to Francois Brink but it was his neighbour's daughter that got shot at!

Did any one hear about the shooting late yesterday afternoon on the Spes Bona road?!!

I like your thinking TCR Carbon! knippie2009-05-28 08:21:58

Sorry, my mistake! I got the "I want my medal" in the wrong spot And it doesn't show on the poll! My thought is to give medals to beginner distances like 10-20km races and try and get something of more worth to the first 100 finishers of the other distances. Like a t-shirt of good quality material.

What is your opinion on Medals at fun rides? They cost between R10 and R20 per medal(depending on the amount made) and get dumped in a box somewhere in the garage a week after the event. Is there a way that event organisers can come up with something that is a better spend of money to give to finishers of funrides? Give me your ideas!knippie2009-05-28 08:14:48

we're seriously thinking of joining you this evening. will give you a call a little later.

Glad somebody has received theirs! Have almost forgotten that i put an order in

That is unfortunately true. We returned a S725 at the beginning of the year to the shop we bought it from and they filled in the forms and did the couriering. It was quick and the watch was repaired, the courier cost was R50 if I remember correctly. The job is only done in Jhb.

.....where is Groenkloof?

Wow that's an achievement!!!

You must have lots of expierence.......?

Well, I'm a coach. I work for BikeMaxPower. Have a look on the internet. www.bikemaxpower.com

At last my head is right for training and have been doing 11hrs a week. Started with 100km then 120km want to do 150km this weekend. 2007 I was the fittest I've ever been and my partner and I came in 2nd of the ladies. This year I'm still looking for a partner as my partner did the Epic and is wasted for the next 4 months at least. Will have to train hard the next 2 months to at least be fit enough.

You talking to "you folks here" who are you reffering to?

Will keep in mind and let you know tomorrow about ride, definately not going out in this terrible weather.

Sounds good. Can we ask that all who are interested in one of these rides just say "Ay!" and each of us can make a list of the others and notify each other of our planned rides?

Vandag!!!?? in die wind??!! Wow jy's dedicated. Gaan maar my idt gebruik en intervals doen. Good luck!

Ek ry loops in Majik Forest, een loop vat my 20 min ek doen 4 as ek met die fiets soontoe gery het anders ry ek 6. Majik is gelukkig redelik veilig, dink ek. Was ook eendag daar waar daar 2 ouens was met 'n hokkie stok. Is maar altyd versigtig veral vir die onderste deel van die single track.

I usually ride Tuesday to Thursday on that road for 2hours. Otherwise 2hours in Majik Forest on Thursday's. I go in the afternoon's. Would be great if we can start a group, I have a road bike I can use for these rides if necessary.
