  5. In road running it is illegal, as they have a well organised league and there are points at stake. However, sailing it is not, as membership gives access to facilities. the more organised a sport is, and the more organised their leagues are the less likely you will be allowed to join two clubs at a time. Cycling, especially pedal power, is not that phased by it. Only when you start competing does it become an issue. As a multi sport person I am a member of a cycling, sailing, chess, running and orienteering club and a free agent on the duathlon/triathlon scene. Some clubs like AR and TCS do help you to register for multiple sports through their infrastructure.
  6. cycle around what you cannot cycle over. Check your equipment. Clipless pedals and proper shoes are needed. If you cannot hop, get a 29er, they are supposed to roll over things better Brian Lopez wrote a good book on mtb skills, buy read and practice.
  7. I was having the same thought. Used to run on the Kop regularly during lunch times about two years ago.
  8. What happened to the guards at the cattle gates?

  12. The correct terms are: Jogger = Fun rider Runner = Cyclist Road Runner = Road Cyclist (same attitude) Trail Runner = Mtbker Triathlete = Demi god that can swim Duathlete= Demi god that cannot swim Biathlete= Demi god that cannot cycle Adventure racer =Demi god who fell on his head when born Orienteerer = Runner (some times cyclist) with a map Learn to ID the athlete. It could save your life
  13. So how did SA duathlon Champs go? Are you going to Spain?
  14. cell phone, strava or endomondo
  15. In PTA park runs ts not the kids you have to watch for, but their grandparents. On average the 40+ guys set the pace, except for one laaitie that believes that 18min for 5km is slow.........
  16. In those day the offline community was as strong as the online community. We knew each other. I met Marius at a race in Somerset West, I was on a loan Scott and he did not have a clue who this Pretoriaaner was.....
  17. There was even a hub kit

    Only problem with this statement, is that I am the butt that is going to get kicked. Eldron, why are you not riding the Argus?

    SA Duathlon 2014

    I hope the cloud cover stays until sunday, or else the humidty will be hell on the last run. THe trail run is about 50/100meter from the start to the road and then from the road back to the finish (and maybe the same bit on each lap). It is a nice change from the gravel as it winds through the stream bed (oops if it rains).
  22. Just like that one. Pity it was only released yesterday, and not copied on the hub. Maybe the newspapers will discover it on their site and publish it say tommorrow just before the Argus......

  24. When are we going to get a official statement from MC2 on the incident? Something like: "We at MC2 having reviewed the incident and apologies profusely for the perceived bad behaviour of the cyclists that were wearing our team kit. We have interviewed all our members involved and as charges have been laid against two member, and these members been taken in police custody, believe the case is now Sub judice. We ask the cycling community to respect the rule of law and processes of justice and not comment further on this case until the findings of the court. We will institute the necessary disciplinary actions against the accused if found guilty and will hold disciplnary hearings for the other cyclists involved. As we do not assume guilt in any of these cases, we will continue to support our members until guilt has been proven, and ask the cyclist community not to conduct a trail by media. We are workig with PPA ext in this regard. We will inform society in general on the findings of these tribunals upon their conclusion, so as to put this matter to rest." This would go a long way to defuse the problem. In fact this should have been posted immediately once the video emerged. ps my fees for PR/media consulting are reasonable, but as a backstop get a lawyer to check that you have not accepted any liability by the above statement
