Skoonma praat met haar skoonseun. Hoe lyk ek vandag vir jou? Nee wat ma lyk goed. Sien jy nie iets anders nie ? Hare, jy't 'n nuwe haarstyl. Nee man ,kyk mooi. Grimering , jy doen dit bietjie anders. Nee kyk weer. O, oorbelle . Jy het ander oorbelle aan. Nee dommie. Ek dra 'n gasmasker.
Baie lank gelede op 'n radiostasie. Vrou bel in om 'n prys te wen. Mevrou Smit, sê vir ons luisteraars wat is die algemeen bekende naam vir natriumchloried. Uhm , uhm. Ai toggie, gee my 'n leidraad asseblief. Maklik . Jy gooi dit in die oggend op jou man se eiers. Oo ja. Babapoeier !
I've had to change my mind on a few of life's more serious issues in the last couple years . So I may get round to this one at some stage. For the moment I'm sticking to my guns. Saw those pics of yours in the other thread. Looked like a very nice adventure.
Am I the only guy that gets more cynical as I grow older ? Horror of horrors I see clumps of families in multivitamin advert style, cruising up the trail with mom and dad in front and little sister trying to pass. We need an e bike so the whole family can ride together ? What's wrong with the fastest member just riding at the pace of the slowest on a normal bike, or just an easier route powered by yourself. Don't want them in races either. But , alas it will happen. So my only remedy will be to look at you with disdain and contempt as you cruise past me.
I couldn't find it , but there's an iconic photo of Jiimy Abbot that appeared in Rapport many years ago. Him sitting on a chair in the back of a bakkie .With his family around him. Taken in their backyard in Newlands Jhb. Kallie Knoetze said: " Jimmy ? Hy slaan donners hard." Grumps, the other guy was Mike Schutte. He played rugby for Iscor in VDBP sometimes. My brother in law had a game against him , Iscor won by a mile. Mike threatened them all.
Grumps, I was telling my son about this book and the plucky penguin. My granddaughters aged 9 and 7 were sleeping over and demanded that I read it as a bedtime story. So whenever they sleep over we are reading, I edit chunks and explain things at the same time. We are now at the part where the rescued penguin , Juan Salvador is being smuggled through customs . They love it.
In the later version by Ram Jam the guitarist is a guy called Bill Bartlett . He was also part of The Lemon Pipers who had a hit with a song called My Green Tambourine. Some useless info. The links that I post never work.
I have almost the same picture . I think he means the "shorter long distance " . This year was 66 km, last year 70 plus. Was my first one . It was very hard. Rocky downhills and the sand. For me with limited skills, it rates as technical. Never lets up right to the end. Had a fall, lost concentration on a easy flat section. I was just plain buggered. Limped home in 6.05. Fall made no difference in time. Camping at Buffelspoort for the weekend made it nice.
https://www.trekkinn.com/outdoor-mountain/computers-and-gps-fitness---training/3001/s Tomtom runner /spark 3 with cardio for about R 2300 . They were R 3000 a few months ago. I have one . Had a few small hiccups that went away once I upgraded the software.You put it on your computer every now and then. It was nothing serious. GPS and other features for gym indoor cycling etc. Links to Discovery. Plenty reviews on the web. I bought mine elsewhere . I don't know this company myself.
Never heard of this guy but there was a fimiliar chord somewhere. Googled . The Stray cats . Nice. The American blues guys seem too have the same affinity with trains that the Afrikaans singers have with wind and the Karoo.
Or run a road race that they haven't entered? How do the runners do it? There are ways around the problem. But up to now there has been no need to address it.
Number collection is stopping people from entering races. Many people live just far enough to take an early morning drive to the race , but don't see their way open to collect numbers. So they just do not enter. We have to start entering but refuse to collect a number . If it's not available on the morning you make your own. You go to the start pen and if an official gives you grief you tell him to piss off . More and more do . They will have to change the system.
And if they tell you please tell me . Supposed to be the whole long link . My computer doesn't give it or I just don't know how. Mod fixed mine last time. Cellphone maybe better?
Phew, for a moment I thought you were talking about Tirreno or Paris Nice. And I secretly wiped out about fifty percent of my wife's scheduled recordings to watch this tonight. Actually no . I'm sorry guys .
Never had a problem, but I dont hang around too late. Out by about 16h00 to 16h30. Left it a bit late once in winter. The sun was setting and I could hear jackal calling. I Felt a bit like Little Red Ridinghood. I've not heard of any incidents. Only problem is falling ,or an injury all on your own.
That truck was there during December as well. I was there on Wednesday. I didn't look very hard ,but saw only baboons. What is worrying is that there seems to be a general lack of maintenance at the place. Simple things like spraying the weeds and grass that is breaking up the tar in places. But still the best road ride in Gauteng for my money.
The answer is in the first paragraph of V12's post that you quoted. Even so, there are questions. Once the medic has put a banned substance into your mouth or veins you should be pulled from the race. And surely there must be procedures in place to deal with this. " Boet I'm gonna give you this, but then I have to call that dik oke with the clipboard and the card around his neck. OK?"
