Hi CrazyFig. slowpoke and I ride on Wednesday and Friday mornings from Randridge Mall, and we also ride on Saturday mornings. Droster rides from Fontainebleau most mornings. So get out there and ride with us! It's worth it!

slowpoke says it was something the sponsor wanted, but there is an indemnity on the entry form, so seems to have been seen as a waste of time?!

I'm with DR, meet inside (do we still have a banner?)

Jisse ewep, my race no is F2224! What the?!

I too will be struggling up that hill. Only ridden it once, in the Berg en Dal race!

That's fine by me!!! Golf Club Terrace scares me!

Hmmm... now that you raise that point SP.... I see it's getting lighter earlier and earlier. Of course I can only vouch for after 6:30 in the morning, I try not to get up before then!! But I am starting to feel like it's time to get going again. Once this wind is finished it's business and your hip is 100% A OK

Hahahahaha! Busted!

On Sunday we had mud up to our nostrils (I'm not kidding). But the Mule got a good clean when we got home. That's about all they need to get back out there! Re how you will feel riding in the rain, depends on your outlook to life. If you decide it's fun, it will be!

Yup, you firmly qualify for the DOM club (any meaning in the choice of the acronym DOM?!) There's only one problem I FLY, SUMMER IS HERE!!!! Now if I can just find an excuse to bunk work and go ride my bike...

Ah I FLY, I never knew you bought clothes to match your eyes?! Now there is a man in touch with his feminine side! Just kidding, thanks for the rating.

IanJ, in my wisdom I decided to have a Bacardi Breezer on Sat afternoon. It was leftover from the weekend away. Biy was that a bad move! Stright to my head, felt awful! So I understand! And it's terrible to be put under such peer pressure! I'll have a word with your team manager!

Ah Fester, don't forget the line "Sticks and stones may break my bones..." Now if he put a water bottle through your spokes...

IanJ! I'm shocked! You are dragging the name of that club through the mud! Imagine if they caught you doping, I mean dopping!! Hee hee! Looks like it hit the spot!

Hi Cois, proper coffee ride on Sunday. We clocked a whole 26km and spent at least 45mins in the coffee shop! Sheesh, not what I'd usually choose to do (am I too competitive?!) Sunday I made up for it by going to Logwood AND Northern Farm. I also cleaned my bike before Logwood and after NF, so I was exhausted after my full schedule!

To everyone, I think the only way to start making a difference is within each of us! Start off by making sure we don't do it, and then make it a habit to point out to others not to do it (what are they going to do? Yell at you?!). This is the only way to make any kind of dent in this problem. Mampara, not sure what other people feel, but I'll usually throw a banana peel. Not hard and fast rule, sometimes I'll hang onto it.

Hope you had a great birthday and achieved a BRILLIANT time at Lost City! Weren't you aiming for the win?! Just kidding!

Wow Admin (Matt), sounds like you had a hectic week! Thanks for getting us up and running so quickly!

I'm going to have to dish out choccie cake just to bring things back in order! Let's all start again. Everyone was joking, no-one was seriously suggesting a fight, and I'll make choccie cake for the next race (but not Lost City, busy that weekend!)

Now everyone take a deep breath...! Jason, often when you're joking, it's easy to misunderstand and take it seriously (see thread on parents pushing kids in sports). Slowpoke and everyone else on this thread was just joking as well I'm sure. Let's keep it light shall we? I personally don't dare challenge anyone, my riding isn't good enough. But I bake a mean chocolate cake, now THAT sounds like a challenge worth making! (And finding judges shouldn't be too hard!) Anyone taking me up? You're allowed to wear Orange if you think it'll help

Not at Urban Assault, but I'll make a plan...

Thanks Spearo, you're a star! I'll organise to get the CD of all pics from you and distribute amongst all participants (hmmm... how much do MyPicture charge for photos? You and I could be rich, RICH!)

Dirt Rider, I missed my MTB terribly this weekend, but seeing as she's still muddy from Wednesday, I'm going to have to chisel the mud off before I can take her out to play! I went road riding, only 40km on Saturday, and B and I went hiking in the Magaliesberg on Sunday. In and out of 3 kloofs: Boulder Kloof, Tonquani and Cederberg. So it's understandable that I'm so sore today!

Happy cyclists!
