  1. Made a tiny contribution. This is much better than fighting about atheism, religion,politics and whatever else we normally come up with on a Friday.
  2. If a zebra crosses your path try and take the right line. Sorry, this is the best I can come up with on a Friday.
  3. Rule no, 42. A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/ or finished by a run. Multisport magazine articles only apply to us when we think it's valid. And from rule 47. Beer is a recovery drink ,an elixir for post ride trash talking.............. Problem solved.
  4. At least the shipping is free. Edit:Seems Topfuel beat me to it. Great minds....
  5. For the same reason that you guys are flaming the OP, possible mistaken ID ,the charges in a big corporate would not get off the ground. "There was another dik oke in a red shirt ahead of me it was him." Or ."Go check the hub ,they're a nasty bunch . I thought the paper was safely in my back pocket." End of story. Edit: I do take the point though that there could be repercussions more serious than the actual misdemeanor.
  6. If you can get a guy fired for dropping a paper in a bike race, then I want you to be my HR man .
  7. Just remember to pick up the empty cartridges.
  8. Seeding was done according to your place of residence. The South , Alberton and Germiston all in HL.
  9. You could feel lost. But not really get lost.Only problem could be that you run out of legs, and then it is a long way out. Best to go in a group. An idea is to ride it once with a car. Just to see what it's about. It's a nice place to ride.
  10. If it doesn't rain that dirt piece is insignificant. It is often used by roadies during training rides. Don't let it stop you from doing the race.
  11. A while ago in an interview on Supercycling ,our own Supermechanic, head of Team Sky's maintenance, Gary Blem said that he offered his services to UCI CSA at events in his spare time. They asked him to submit his CV. Edit: Corrected. Thanks.
  12. Grumps , Helicopters were up there with the best of the Glam punk bands.Not sure ,but last I heard Franco had an Italian restaurant in Vanderbijlpark. Another band that I hardly remembered were The Flames. Guys from Durban who is best remembered for a song called " For Your Precious Love." Interesting thing is that Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar joined the Beach Boys in 1970. Chaplin later played with Keith Richards of the Stones and is still a friend of his.
  13. Somewhere at the bottom of the results page.
  14. On only my second ride at Thaba green I decided that I was a real mtb'er . Went into the blue just after the twin tower climb.It took me two minutes to realise I knew nothing. Couldn't ride half, didn't know where I was.I felt like Burt Reynolds in Deliverance.
  15. Tony Impey Cycles in Bedford Centre.
  16. Is it not tomorrow in Australia right now ?
  17. . Some Pro Nutro has "wheat free" on package .Others contain wheat. Wheat free does not automatically translate into gluten free.
  18. New Crossfit box recently opened in the Clearview motor village. It's where you come off the highway at Gordon rd. Enter round back in Hendrik Potgieter. www.crossfitivory.co.za
  19. Marius at Montie's is your man.They have rides leaving from Voorbaai Shell. Get the map. Still exploring mostly on Grootbrak side. You can ride from Kleinbrak through to Grootbrak , Left at Spar nice climb. Jonkersberg ,Friemersheim, Cross Kleinbrak river in knee deep water twice,and on to Bottlierskop .About 60km. Many roads to choose from. I drive my wife nuts when we're in the car. "Go here ,turn there". Pic taken of Jonkersberg on the road to Friemersheim. Edit : Worth visiting Jakkalsvlei wine farm for a cheese platter if you're in the Herbertsdale area.
  20. An international race . Seven stages and a proloque and the only guy they catch for doping is a no hoper right at the back,that took the stuff for bodybuilding. And stood out like a sore thumb ? I'm not buying it.
  21. (Ahem....cough ,cough............)We at BMC management take note and appreciate all comments. However if you would rephrase..............
  22. There is an identical,recent thread lurking somewhere. Some good info there.
  23. Is it OK to start the Monday with good intentions and a list in your head, and then fade away by 10 am?
