Yeah that shouldnt be a problem dude

hey dude I am in france and will be returning to SA on the 1st of April, PM me if you are able to get it delivered to france

I did it last year, what a race, I really enjoyed it, but it was bloody tough man Pretty bummed that I cant do it this year.... got ropped into going to the roxette concert at suncity instead

hey guys Good luck to you all with the challenge, I made the decision last year to loose some weight and I managed to loose about 16kgs, went from 94 to 78kgs, The best way to do it is have as much fun as possible and to set goals So I started playing touch rugby and action cricket once a week and went spinning 3 times a week plus my normal rides on a saturday and sunday I also set my self little goals every month on my mountain bike, like trying to beat my previous time on my normal route or timing myself up a big ass hill and making sure that I improved my time each time I did it. It worked for me and I had lots of fun and it also helped with my riding as Im fitter, quicker and dont struggle up hills anymore So good luck guys

name and shame.... Not sure I would want to go there?

Arghhh..... good point! Sorry Guys, wasnt thinking properly

Hey guys, I am overseas at the moment and am considering buying a Garmin Edge 500 bundle off CRC as I will not have to pay postage or any taxes, so three questions - If I buy it off CRC, will it come with Maps for SA? if not, are these maps easy to get and how much are they? - How much does the Edge 500 bundle go for in SA? Dont really have access to prices at the moment - Lastly, is the Edge 500 a good buy? Would you recomend anything else?

dude this french keyboard is killing me...... I look like such a spanner when I type on my laptop.... you know, the old school one finger approach.... the guys think im really stupid but in reqlity im more qualified then them

dude thats definately fine with me regarding the alcohol content! My old man is from Belgium, love the beer from there Theres 5 saffers here in france qnd we qll travel together on the weekends and we have managed to find a dutch beer called the Maximator, 650ml can, 11.6% alcohol for 1.7 euro, its the perfect beer for a fines meeting

I vote for the Merida....Ive got a 96 3000D and two of my mates have the TFS 100 and they have had no complaints so far....the TFS 100 also seems to be pretty bulletproof which is a good thing for your first buy Enjoy the riding dude and I hope to see you at the 94.7 later in the year

Yeah will try post some pics tonight, not to sure if I have any with me at the moment, but its the stock standard black and white model Would definately like something to help go faster but would mind something to make her look good to

Yeah good point, here it is Full Shimano XT Magura Louise brakes Magura Durin 100 front shock DT Swiss rear shock - cant remember which model FSA Handle bars, stem, seatpost and seat DT Swiss wheelset - once again not 100% which model Sorry guys, thats the most I can remember off hand, Ill get my old man to have a look at the components tonight and hopefully I can give a better breakdown of the components

Hey guys So Im working in france for the next 2 months and was ridiculously busy at work during November and December and as a result I have been neglecting my baby So in order to make it up to her, Id like to bring here back some gifts from Europe (CRC is looking pretty cheap as I dont have to pay certian taxes and delivery charges are also less) My problem is that I dont really have the greatest technical knowledge about bikes, still in the process of learning. So, I have a 2010 Merida 96 3000D and have a € 500 Euro allowance for excess luggage when I return, (unfortunately my Missus's shopping list will use about €150 of this) so I do have a bit of space in my luggage when I come home What do you guys recommend in terms of upgrades for my bike? Thanks guys

thanks for the advice guys Will go have a look for some bikes tomorrow Not gonna lie..... the beer here is AWESOME... really good but gives a bad hangover Cheese and pastries are also awesome, just hope I dont pick up to much weight cos a managed to loose a bucket load last year

hey guys So I have been sent to the Bordeaux office of my company to work for three months! I dint bring my bike along because A ) The insurance company would have charged some ridiculous maount to cover me and my bike B ) Air France would have also charged me a fortune and C ) I thought id be working my ass off, So.... since the only french I can speak involves ordering beer and food I have been doing pretty much nothing apart from drinking coffee (and beer.... it appears that this is acceptable during lunch especially when the client is having lunch with you) and surfing the net I even forgot my bloody login details and have no access to my SA email.... so I had to create a new account So, it turns out that cycling and especilly mountain biking is pretty dam popular here in bordeaux So should I take the hit and go and buy a bike to ride in the early mornings or just carry on dreaming about my Merida back home? Also, does anyone speak french? I am looking for a cycle shop here to get some cold gear and other kit for when I get back to sunny SA, apparently no one understands me when I say where is the bicycle shop? The websites have also been pretty rustrating Cheers
