I will be smelling some Clarens air this weekend!

We are planning that ride too soonish - from up in Linden it will be about a 180km ride though. It is one of my 'have to do's' before I move to NZ.

Which date are you and M landing there?

So how much is it to import my own car from here? Haha

My dad with his 1970 DHC. He was 16. (he is the one on the right )

I love back to back endurance rides.... I hope StevieL is reading this....we need to get back into our looooooong rides too

Like my dad said last night.... "I don't think you'll ever be able to drive anything less than a 1.6l or something small like a hatch little car".... Oh boy I've been spoiled in SA regarding cheap good cars.

Anyone here know how much one can ship over for $3000?

Sorry for only replying now but it has been a crazy couple of days with family. Thank you to you and J. Will deffo baby sit too while you take her on dates, don't worry... Haha. Don't know yet where they putting me for the 1st month, but I assume it will be close to work (hence close to you guys). I'm going to have to start moving with all the visa stuff soon. This stupid English thing has got me nervous. I'll get my matrix certificate ready (got a B for English HG), a letter from varsity maybe and a letter from work stating we for all our business in English. I hope that will work. Damn I look at places to rent again, I think I need a house mate.... There's nice places to rent that's worth it if one goes in 2 renters (4bed,2 bath etc) is cheaper than 2 bed 1 bath. Cars are expensive for what one gets I think, oh dear I'm going to miss my dad's perks at VW! Now I'll have to pay normal people's prices.. Hahaha Expected start date 7June. Let's see.

Thanks for the info Ross. If that is the case I will be VERY happy!

What was the results here? I don't know yet if I HAVE to do it, but I fear this will be the most difficult test in all this immigration thing for me to pass...... I hate languages

I just got my offer from Auckland. Guess I'll be packing up this side now.

My ride (not my bike again) today started at a mall and ended at the river pass some wild life...

My seat is actually always turned a bit to the right due to the issues in my left leg/ groin area, but it looks a bit excessive although it felt fine.

Not my bike but it has taken me to somewhere between Bushmans River month and Port Alfred... A nice 75km ride on a 160mm travel bike is always good.. Hahaha

I had such a good laugh reading this the other day, I read this just now again for a 'pick-me-up' Click on all the pics to see all the responses (it is the pic itself) https://www.facebook.com/maxi.at.xlri/photos/a.110485982378236.19780.110478655712302/816901218403372/?type=3&theater

There is actually a lot going on there.... http://www.nzherald.co.nz/crime/news/article.cfm?c_id=30&objectid=11603517 (You can follow from that link to other stories too) Edit: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/crime/news/article.cfm?c_id=30&objectid=11604108 http://www.nzherald.co.nz/crime/news/article.cfm?c_id=30&objectid=11604413 http://www.nzherald.co.nz/crime/news/article.cfm?c_id=30&objectid=11605471 http://www.nzherald.co.nz/crime/news/article.cfm?c_id=30&objectid=11607130

As far as I know the higher the c (and inflated to correct pressure) the less the road contact hence less road resistance...

15km ain't enough for a warm up for me, it only comes after 25km+. Have no idea why. Also those speeds i a bunch I will never want to do (not in the bunches I ride in sadly)

Sheesh that made me say the "D..." word out loud. That's some serious climbing on cold legs and crazy descending. Maybe I will attend. (If I don't end up doing Panarama Tour)

Don't know if it has been mentioned here before: https://www.bikewise.co.nz/places-cycle/auckland edit: http://tracks.org.nz/

That grinds me about event pages...MANY races in general have crap web pages On a race page the 1st things I want to see (clearly) without looking for it is: date, distance, elevation, cost and start point Apparently it is R6500 per team though

R2325 These are the ladies specific ones so no shop in SA has them yet.

Anyone here doing the MalutiDouble90? http://malutidouble90.co.za/

I haven't been on my bike much lately, but saw this on my short Cradle ride today and thought it was amazing...
