great news man, made a point to check in and keep my eyes open

i second that!

Vote casted bud

Crank Brothers Baseline Luggae Bag, anyways thats what i have, speak to Shamus at Bicicletta

not so much the amount of people, just the vibe i find to be more alive? but again from a scenery perspective you cant beat the Argus, man its nice

yea also find the argus harder for some reason, vibe wise i reckon JHB has the Cape licked, but in terms of scenery, the Argus is a beautiful race!

what time you pushing for Jaco?

so who else is in K?

I swear by this guy, Dr Jason Fyfer in Sunninghill, and i have a bad back to begin with. sorts me out chop-chop each time

now that sucks, worst day is the sunday

the entries have been kept open for a while longer if im not mistaken, maybe try the website again?

my apologies sir fingers too fast for the brain to catch up so early in the morning

what he said, simple chain stretch. you can try tighten it up with the barrel adjusters a bit but the tech savvy guys will give you good advice just hang on a few

Anyone want a copy of Cycling Plus (June) give me a shout, got my copy in PDF this month but willing to share

can i book a spot for next week (if its on that is), have a thing on sunday (else ill have a serious case of puffy cheeks on my hands). been wanting to do this ride for a while now

give credit where credit is due right! with all the moaning about our goodie bags, i really enjoy getting some stuff that's actually useful, the socks, now a t-shirt, hell if i get another bottle, suncream, or other useless titbit somewhere ill scream. well done on listening to all the gripes and trying to be better than the rest! my 2c on a Wednesday morning.

im keen for a spin with you guys on Sunday. been following this thread and will be good to put faces to the names.

They have a little race (just shy of a half marathon) on new years day or eve, i cant remember now

took the MTB down last year just to mess around with the family a bit, so here is a garmin file of one of my days (note its not really a training ride as the distance is too short but will give you an idea of the lay of the land) http://connect.garmin.com/activity/144896554

might be a bit short notice but if anyone is looking for an entry, you can have mine for free and mahala ... bit of paying it forward. Planning just hit disaster after disaster so wont make it. Ah well, there is always next year. Let me know if anyone is keen (VA batch, but you can drop back if the pace is a bit hot for you).

I have a mate that could take the 40 if you still have it?

ah nuts! only saw this now. would have loved a spin pre-jock, anybody feel like round 2 next weekend?

Functional Threshold Power (FTP). FTP is the power you would average with your highest possible effort during a 60-minute race.

Helped a guy in a race once, chain snapped on a climb. So here i come on my steed and think, aw well letrs do something good today. Stopped, gave him my chain breaker and he stares blankly at me .... mmmmm so, do you know how to use this thing. In the end i fixed his chain, mubled under my breath and took off. Nevertheless, i suppose sport/enjoyment and competing is two very different things. Reckon he fell into the former category. But dont get me wrong, i did something good on the day, should count for some angel points one day

+1 if you around Sandton you can even collect, well i did in any case
