  1. If it's summer it's seven. Won't be there myself , enjoy. Edit: Uhm , don't worry, they get on well without me.
  2. In his book Hamilton mentions that one of his biggest disappointments was a race that he and Voigt both rode in the aftermath of the USADA affair. He pulled up next to Jens who refused to speak to him. Why ? I have no heroes anymore . They can all go get screwed.suck eggs. Come TDF I will mow the lawn.
  3. A cyclist who only ate hake Then pulled from his jersey a steak They tell me somehow This old Spanish cow Will put me ahead in the break
  4. 80% of people on a MTB have never been on the road ever.
  5. This is interesting , who on the hub to put in what role. In the lead role........tadaaaaaa !!!! And on a road bike nogal! TADAAAAAA!!!!!! Now for the rest of the cast.
  6. I may be wrong,but I believe that there are only so many bulk producers of protein products. So the same stuff gets delivered to all the manufacturers, they brand and tweak it. I buy whey or soy in those no name bags at Dischem. Add a bit of glutamine, milk and cocoa powder. Edit: If I did buy a brand would be 32 GI
  7. Instructions: To get you bike within legal UCI weight limit, soak for five minutes.
  8. Got to Thaba after three yesterday. Saw your name on entry list just ahead of me .My 4th time on a MTB. Same problem same place. I tried to lean forward on the front wheel and the back spun out from under me .Steep learning curve but I'm keen.
  9. After 9 rounds, er sorry , pages, we have JB ahead at about a 100 points to 4. And he hasn't thrown a punch yet.
  10. It's the 16 th. My wife's birthday. Tried to get permission. Worked on it for a while. But as Kenny Rogers says :" You've got to know when to hold them ,know when to fold them........."
  11. I rest my case
  12. You will not get much for R 2500 . Something to ride around the suburb maybe. Run walk for life membership ? Do you ask to go along to the pottery class or cookie lessons or whatever it is women do? You found cycling first . Sorry ignore. This comes from a been through the mill , dyed in the wool cynic.
  13. We often get this in the meat trade. Bloke buys something from a farmer or whoever 'cause the butchers rip you off you know. Now you've got to cut it for him 'cause his connection has zero equipment . We do it but we don't like it. And at a take it or leave it price. Or just go buy your own bandsaw at R 25000 p**pol.
  14. How is the start order for the time trial determined ?
  15. My dad bought me my first 'real' bike when I was 9 . A red BSA 24" for Christmas . Those days you had to have a license. Offices were closed till after New Year . Felt lake ages . My brother and I went with my dad to the licensing office in Jhb . This was 1967. Small red brick building near John Vorster. You can still see it from the M1. You paid and then an old guy punched a number onto a piece of tin.This you attached to the bike .

    Cadence

    If you pass her you can always say: Hi Cadence.
  17. Can only agree . Ride it with your car first if you're not sure . There are some steep hills. If you think you may not make it do only the smaller 'last' loop (you turn right at the top of the first hill, instead of left ,12 or so kms instead of 58). You can always do that more than once and in no time you will do the whole thing.Also to the gate and back will add a few more flat kms Don't drop papers . Be nice to the staff. At about 11 kms you'll see a beacon in the veld to your left. Sit up straight you're the highest bloke in the Witwatersrand.
  18. And look like the Jockey ? What a former boss used to tell me. Now I'm 1.72 and 74 kgs . From 68 when I left the army 34 years ago At the finish line my wife once drily remarked : " Al die dik ouens ry jou weg".
  19. And last year Cadel was called "Kaadil".
  20. I know that the younger guys have a role to play and serve the big guns. But van Garderen started yesterday in 10th position about 5.30 min behind Wiggins. He is now in 9th more than 6 min behind ,after slowing down for Cadel. Should TJ not have gone on his own after Evans slowed? He looked strong. Maybe 4 th ahead of van den Broek and more options for BMC ,with their star not performing.
  21. I have sympathy with people who tow things to earn a living. But as far as towing children are concerned ,I think it's dangerous. Saw a mom and dad in a busy street in Alberton, Two bikes one trailer. All bright eyed and bushy tailed, doing the multivitamin family advert thing. That trailer is so low on the ground and exposed . One small nudge from a car and you have a tragedy.
  22. In an Afrikaans primary school this would have caused serious confusion.
  23. Now we can also say "remember the one with the wind". Funny thing I really enjoyed stage 2. Friend and I rode in VC with some nice okes from Edenvale and Sunward. Stage 3 there was a guy from VA black and white kit , really helped us along. And the potjie afterwards. Not many places where you get 4 tots of OBS for R 10!
  24. She's older than sixteen ,send her a copy of a recent painting
