Flemish Lion

Don't forget south Yebo yes!

I hope you mean Mrs Thanks for the support! It will be a very tactical race. The route suits Ash and Jo nicely (although the hills/drags are a little short), Lise and Cherise will have their work cut out for them! And don't discount Marissa!

Emmerentia is tiny... even for a run I'm afraid dog walkers also frequent there at sunrise, but not nearly as bad as sunset! Enjoy!

I was born there too It was HOT and ROUGH out there! Ed's a super talent. I had a brief chat with him and Jos during prize giving - great guys! Ed can thank us for the free bumps.

I am marking you

Jules definately pulled off the ride of the day that's for sure! Super impressive! And that on a alu bike We all thought he was insane to go so early, but the joke was on us when he pulled it off!

I'm sure he meant treat... he'll be treating himself to my shammy skidmarks in 1,5 weeks

+ Leipheimer AND Grabsch

Yeah but these can't be mentioned on a public forum! Ask him about a UCT Paarl training camp and his fluffy cow

Donkey Rides with vaseline in his back pocket so be careful

I've been to that shop / restaurant - this spreaad is to die for! The closest you can get to it is to put the speculoos biscuits on fresh bread and drain them with black coffee - thats what we do in Belgium and thats where the idea originated from... now they also have speculoos ice cream and liqueur...mmm!!

Speculoos spread!!

Nice work Brandon! Great to see #MORETHANJUSTAFACELIFT gaining momentum! Next week I'll be visiting Jo (Nashua Toyota and Lotto Honda) in Belgium to top up her Biogen supplies for Tour d'Ardeche, Toscana Tour and World Champs. Take care and good luck!!

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/arvesen-in-high-speed-vuelta-a-espana-crash Team Sky rider finishes stage, avoids serious injury After crashing at 70kph, Team Sky's Kurt-Asle Arvesen would be excused if he abandoned the Vuelta a España, but the hearty Norwegian soldiered on to finish stage 5 in Valdepenas de Jaen in 169th place, safely inside the time limit. Arvesen was on a descent in the middle of the 187km stage when a child crossed the road in his path, and the rider could do nothing to avoid hitting him. The Norwegian described the incident to VG Nett. "I saw that it was going to go completely wrong, I saw the whites of his eyes just before I hit him, fearing the worst. This is definitely the worst I have experienced on the bike," Arvesen said. According to the report the boy ran into the road to pick up a bidon that was discarded by another rider, and was struck by Arvesen. The rider was also thrown by the impact, his bike destroyed, but Arvesen escaped only with bruises and lacerations, according to his team. He was concerned about the boy, but said in a lucky coincidence, his team's support vehicle was parked near the scene and his masseur ran to help the child. Arvesen was later told that the boy was relatively unhurt with some bruises and a cut lip. Arvesen, in his final year before retirement, has had his share of mishaps this season. Not only did he crash in the team time trial on stage 1, he also crashed and broke the saddle off his bike in Paris-Roubaix, riding 20km without a seat before finally quitting the race. He was due to race the world championships for Norway, but is now concerned he might not be fit to start in Copenhagen. "I must give it a few days first. Am I not 100 percent, but we have others who can do a good job. I will not take any decision on it now, but I feel surprisingly good."

That's a good idea - he can ride to Alberts and back or up the Spruit. Cos Emmerentia is pretty small and often very busy.

Ik fiets vooral op de weg, uitzonderlijk (SabieXperience, Joberg2C) op de mtbike. Teak Place is heel aangenaam, er is veel te doen voor de familie terwijl jij aan het fietsen bent. Ik moet nog eens to Walk Haven geraken, maar Emmerentia en Alberts Farm zijn dichtbij. Deze mail heb ik onlangs naar een vriend gestuurd: - http://www.teaksports.co.za/ (Cradle) - www.kingskloofmtb.co.za/ (Krugersdorp) - http://www.logwoodvillage.co.za/fundraising/mountain-biking (Logwood) - http://www.segwatiranch.co.za/ (Hekpoort) - The Spruit (Emmarentia - Paulshof) This is close to you!! Start at the bridge off Witkoppen where you go down from Paulshof – a guide is recommended though as you need to cross Will Nicol to continue to Emmerentia. - Van Gaalens (Skeerpoort) - Home of the Chicken Pie Route (Lanseria) - Northern Farms Pretoria: - www.voortrekkermon.org.za/cycle.php - www.tshwane.gov.za/groenkloof.cfm

Haha Nope, I hopefully visit her in September. Carl, Ash's husband is tweeting on site.

I did indeed note the sarcastic undertone - but I should be blamed for building on this thread :-)
