  1. He has a point, but not on a race such as the Argus where everyone is doing the same distance. The issue arises mainly when, like at the Amashova where there is a half distance race, the front batches (Elite, U23, VA-VD and even A) catch the back of these "Fun Riders". When you catch them in the last few km and the speed of the peloton is ramping up and there are fun riders that are weaving across the road it become quite scary. For every ones safety the organisers should ask back markers of these shorter distances to please be aware that they may be caught by the front groups of the main race and that it would be in their and every ones best interests to keep left where possible.
  2. what channel on DSTV?
  3. Dude, building fitness with a 1x11 will not be easy. Suggest you go 2x10 and convert, if necessary, to 1x11 when you're strong enough.
  4. well done to your pops for partaking but it's the same as Comrades. The gun goes off and it doesn't matter if you're 1 second or 1 hour late, you're late, so you get a DNF.
  5. Lots of variables here as it would also depend on what sort of training you are doing with your running. You already mention running intervals and it seems that you are basically looking to squeeze cycling sessions around running sessions. You will also need ample recovery time between interval sessions. What running sessions are you currently doing?
  6. I hope it does but with only approx 4 months until race day one would think that they would have an updated website and possibly even be taking entries.
  7. anyone remember Arsenal captain Tony Adams dropping Steve Morrow whilst celebrating their League Cup Final win - Steve Morrow broke his arm and was rushed off to hospital without getting his winners medal.
  8. Does anyone have any knowledge as to whether this series is happening again in 2014?
  9. jeez, we didn't even bother stopping there - 21km in - just find it way too early for a wp. *edited - spelling.
  10. Can't say I heard of anything - rode the Adventure. Which event did you ride?
  11. Who were the hubbers riding in the adventure in thehubsa kit, can't remember if it was day 1 or 2?
  12. Explain the storey to the guarding company and ask them to polygraph the respective guards. If the guards pass, pay them. If they don't, ask the guarding company to remove them from your estate.
  13. A tweet of the goodie bag from farmer glen
  14. What brands do Solomon's stock?
  15. The info I have is that the event is apparently being shortened to 7 days and the route no longer goes to underberg. It is planned to go through Nottingham Rd towards Cascades and then will follow the Dusi2C route.
  16. speak to Craig Paul at Greg Minaar Cycles - Cascades Branch (033 347 2775). They may have a ride from there on Sat am or he might know of one.
  17. re-read original post properly
  18. picked my Gilet up this am, thanks Dennis.
  19. Ask yourself, If it collapses, how will your partner feel?
  20. Fast Track - no issues so far. they have enough grip and roll well enough for me. my Sani partner rode epic with them too - no issues there either.
  21. A few weeks ago some of my riding mates rode from Hillcrest to the top of Sani Pass (+-240km; 13h30m & 5600m) Insane !
  22. anyone know any shops, preferably in Durban, who currently have stock of these gloves in XL?
  23. I can't believe that you chaps are saying you are undertrained. With those milage figures you should all be in the top 50% of the 3 events combined. I'm only sitting at 840km with 18400m of climbing and another 23 hrs on a spinning bike and we're looking at under 13.5hrs in the adventure.
  24. The Municipality will be charging R20/car for parking.
