goya-goya

My buddy said it happened near the valverde sign... I hope they recover soon...

As requested by my learned hubber... and only because he caught me out trying to write code that I thought he would not understand... now who is the idiot! Relativity my dear fellow...

mmm... tempting... but then I am unarmed to make the contest even...

real intelligent comments from the resident know-it-all... Go Lance Go!!!

are you actually an 1d10t or just trying to appear like one?

I took this with my phone at the ridetherhenosterspruit 2012... there was an old house in ruin and everywhere on the concrete between the rocks... this is what you saw... and I mean everywhere!! milllions... and they are there all the time

!!! Go Lance GO!! .....sorry... couldnt resist!

OMFG... so you have no excuse for your ignorance yay... good or you!

@neutralthinking..."A friend of mine phoned me a night or two after that happened and My initial response was. Hopefully Andre learns his damn lesson now." Oh so he so he did this before!! Not knowing the law is no excuse for the crime! No emotion... just facts.. He got into a car drunk... he started the car drunk... he (presumably) put the car into gear and started driving drunk... he (presumably) stopped(at a intersection) drunk... he (presumably) drove across and intersection drunk... he (fact) hit a cyclist drunk... he made a decision again(drunk) to leave the cyclist... oh shame because he was drunk you understand that he left the scene of the crime[sic, cough, vomit!!] OK let me get this straight.. you want me to have sympathy for someone who being drunk operates "heavy dangerous machinery" not alone... but where other people could get hurt... somewhere where your child is playing!...[sic] just starting a car drunk should be an offence[sic]! then for every second after that when the drunk idiot made the choice to keep doing this illegal, stupid (add your superlative) act... he should be charged with the same crime as the worst of the list of crimes he committed in his state! and they should be bundled together and served consecutively! It is naive of you to expect people who are in harms way every day to have have sympathy for a person who makes an already dangerous place to cycle - our legal right to have equal rights on the road - even more dangerous.. I do not think a drunk driver is any less scum than home invaders that kill a family[sic]... what... because he has no malice he is a victim of alcohol? getting into the car as the ignorant F.U.C.K. that he is.. (yes here is emotion ) you can only spin a revolvers barrel so many times before probability turns to FATE... if you dont see that... you should be charged with ignorance! ..and the punishment for that should be cycling on a never ending road where there are only drunk drivers that have not learnt their lesson... ahhh that feels better! The best solution is a tried and tested solution: make everyone sooo **** scared to get into their car drunk/drugged/tired/on EPO -oh sorry thats the bike! PS @neutralthinking: i think your rim is a bit tooo close to your frame... I think you need to get your wheel trued!

if there are any teams out there.. that are not considering KE now that he is team-less... they deserve to come second in the next race against KE !!

HAHA... to all the bike shop owners... if you cannot compete... change your strategy... or choose another business... I have no sympathy for businesses who cannot stay with the demand/times... I will not be the one paying more for stuff just so that you can keep your doors open... it is not a charity... suck it up... make me want to buy from you... The internet has its advantages and there are disadvantages... Why not shut down the internet? shame then you can keep your doors open... You are just a retailer that offers a service too... change your business model if you want to compete... get together and make plans... but dont go out on a crooked leg and blame and open free market... Just my opinion

our company is going to Mabaliningwe Nature reserve for the weekend on 23 November... I asked them if I can cycle in the reserve but alas NO... for the race they actually block off 60% of the park and move all the dangerous animals into that section... Does anyone know where I can cycle? Sondela... do they allow day visitors?

HI there... You sound a bit OCD like me! you train a lot... in what zone do you train? If you are "pushing" it all the time... you will almost likely never loose that weight! Most overweight people make that mistake: to loose weight you need to be under 80% of HR - yes yes you can loose weight if you train like a monster... but you will get serious cravings and you will get weaker if you do not succumb to them... glycogen needs to be in your muscles... it takes too long for fat to replenish... hence the cravings... At this level of training your body uses fat to get energy... Someone please correct me if I am wrong

A group of us rode from George to PE in October... We stayed at a place called Duiwekloof in the middle of the route through the kloof... it was awesome... the one room was built into a rock!! Nice and chilled... the food was wholesome... The scenery was... well you have to go there!! You will not regret the ride... bergplaas is an awesome climb... when you start it.. settle in... its gonna take a while... but the valley drops as you climb and the view gets better and better

Ouch dude... so you think its impossible to win without doping!? so much for Cadel, Bradley and chris being clean... perhaps you too ride professionally... I guess you never win either... because you dont dope!

Not sure what this is all about??? Are you making this about you? What is the point that you are trying to make?? That you can do better? That you dont have anything else to do? Do you need some encouragement? Look I can type using nothing...

I have a breathing problem as a result of a car accident years ago... If i take EPO i will probably get the same amount of oxygen to my muscles as a "normal" person... Would it be cheating if i use it?

I have yet to meet a tough mtb'er who as as tough as tough roadies! And most mtb'ers have a chip on thier shoulder about being outdoorsy and tough... Haha and mostly they are the ones who think getting onto the pavement is technical riding... Both disciplines are tough if you ride hard... The thing about road is that there is sometimes NO respite for kilometers... And that is what makes them tough... No singletrack to blame for your slow times... Nobottlenecks... Just you... And no excuses! Im with the bloke who is a cyclist... its like elaborating that you have a 4x4 when you mention you have a car...

If you subscribe to a sport... you adhere to the rules... break them... and you have to live with yourself... knowing that you did not play fair... if you have no ethics... then break he rules until you get caught... I played soccer for years... guys who dive are a scourge... but you will always get cheats: like people who take short-cuts in races because no-one is looking[sic]... The perplexing thing is that it is just a sport and these are just rules that guys are breaking... NOT LAWS... so the consequences are in the framework of the sport... if it was your career... then you are in ***... but if you are a recreational cyclist... there are no real consequences... I mean drinking and driving is riskier than taking EPO... I guess it all comes down to integrity and the honor that person has to stick to the rules...

Oh hell... First intelligent thing you've said!! go lance go!!

Yea... your career!

oh crap man! David Beckham earns more than the entire pro pelaton at the tour de france!!!!

Hi there... everything is linked... I am assuming that the fit was 100% correct. Some people keep their arms straight when they are tired... this gives you a mild whiplash... Perhaps you are even bending your arms too much and then you are bending you neck too much to be able to see... Also if you move too far back on your saddle you will also struggle to lift your neck up and that could also cause this. Strangely enough... bad breathing can do exactly the same... but the pain will also manifest when you take deep breaths on the bike??? I hope you get it sorted out...

Haha..!! Lets not forget that these are just rules... not Laws! However... as it suited USADA they dredged up Laws to condone the manipulation the rules that they made... so that they could make the conclusion they needed... if I manipulated the rules... is it fair? I only use the word fair because its just a rule.. not a LAW! Hypothetically... If I was in cycling at the time... and everyone else was doping... I would be inclined to assume that I would have done so too... well it is either that or be relegated to the small time and obscurity and poverty... how many cyclists have you guys followed in the continental teams??? Sooo me being the kind of person I am... I would not want to just take some crap that someone says is good! Just look at some of the guys at gym... eeeuagh! I would want to know what it is that I am taking and I would want to make sure that "clean" and that it works... that stands to reason. I would pay people to test that the stuff works... and how it works... I guess I would have to sell some of it to pay for the research... If I was a peddler (almost succumbed to a pun! ) then the buyers were getting the good stuff and it is possible that I saved many lives because I would not sell ***! As a matter of interest... the riders in the continental teams that never got a showing in the grand tours... perhaps they all took dope too... but because they made no money... no-one cares... [sic] I am getting ready to watch the fireworks as everyone shows their hands... and then Lance steps up! haha! Its gonna be great!

haha... you guys think i am joking...
