  1. But it is not pink?
  2. IMO: The error in your, and @Skubarra's, thinking is best explained by a different example: We'll never be able to eradicate murder, no hard we try, so let us allow a free-for-aal regarding murdering each other. Sure, marshalling is difficult, and will not be 100% effective (not even close), but does that mean they should not even try? Marshal beter; Make it / promote it to be a matter of honour for a team to deliberately not draft (Everybody will agree it is not allowed to take a shortcut, and even stupid to do so - why go through the trouble of entering/pitching/riding and then short-change yourself? - but almost nobody has a problem with drafting other teams in a TTT? Edit: Sorry, I see you actually sort of agree ;-D
  3. A76 / SR44 / LR44 X 2 All of them will work.
  4. It should actually be a given, not just "nice", especially also since ...
  5. You completely missed the point... OTB: The teenage girls that used to peddle single roses at restaurants over week-ends also did it for "charity" (the blind?) - I am sure you always bought 10, to have a nice big bouquet for the missus - it is for charity after all?
  6. Did too... If memory serves, we (South Africa) got better coverage than Europe in general - it actually started before "the flag dropped". It even started before "the ribbon was cut", so you got to watch even the neutral zone...
  7. AND you can then throw in the start of TdeF Femmes too...
  8. Sure, but that is 12 guys working together, all the time, no interruptions. An early break with all teams presented - will the rest, sans other team members, efficiently work together to catch them?
  9. Where two or more bicycles are gathered together, there shall be racing!

    99er Cycle Tour

    My adblocker isn't working on bikehub...
  11. ... except that I think R44 is more risky (hence not agreeing with JBR on it being a better "detour"). If I use it, it is always coming back (i.e. South), for then you can at least pass the danger bit at speed (down-hill). Same reason for me using R304 going out (i.e. North) --> itis faster out than coming back in...

    The Munga 2020

    How many wifes do you have?
  14. Rather get pace chart from Rassie Pretorius (closer to the time on Western Province Pace Setters' FB page) He allows for start delay, ascent/descent, fade at the end...
  15. That is not at the usual place and secondly, they sent an e-mail on the 19th to invite online entries... @ Babse: Thnx I saw your post and managed to enter.
  16. Agree... They send an e-mail out yesterday for entries, and then it is closed already? E-mail them, requesting that they re-open it. I did. If enough of us do so, maybe they'll be inclined to: Do so;In future, always list the closing date&time. here's hoping!
  17. "Passing on your right" is VERY different to "HOLD YOUR #$#%# LINE !!!!" Just saying...
  18. The top is awesome - we got a similar one many moons ago (probably 15 years?) on an Energade bottle, but nothing since then. Just a pity the cap itself leaks though - will have to throw it away...
  19. there weren't classes? -- "flying" was first class
  20. WT&... gives with those lush vegetation and green grass? No way it is from rain only...
  21. My first response was (meant to be) tic. Your comment, trying to incorrectly correct me? That was grammar nazi'ism!
  22. Perhaps rather the satire one?
  23. You did notice, it starts with Chicory first --> can't really call it coffee then?
