Here's a Blog post from Rochelle Gilmore (Lotto) on the Giro Donne http://www.rochellegilmore.com/2011/06/giro-d%E2%80%99italia-donne-2011/

Robyn will join the Lotto team on the 13th of July. Lots of credit should go to Roy Gershow for this achievement and many others e.g. their respective coaches and sponsors...

I'd love to stay off the highways too, but NorthCliff (near Gordon Rd) to Midrand (near New Rd) - not easy to take "back" roads...

Yeah - you donate a lot of your income to fund the government anyway, so why not a few organs...

That's option 2. I agree that legally that is the correct place - but by NO means the safest place. Do you know of anyone ever getting a fine for riding in the emergency lane on the right, i.e. crossing a white line?

Also saw one on Friday am on N1 North. Now go vote... https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/104331-where-to-ride-a-motorbike-on-highway-in-peak-traffic/ Dankie...

a clear lack of opinions here Lemme get changed into my ninja kit and head home!

Westmalle triple - nothing beats that

Hey all, I recently bought a motorbike as I had one for years in Belgium and traffic on the N1 is awesome! I first started driving it between the 2/3 or 3/4 lanes as is custom in Europe. But it seems like motorbikes ride where they please and cars/trucks just don't know what to expect! I first got so p!ssed of with bikes driving past me in the right emergency lane... But after a few weeks of near death experiences I tend to use the emergency lane on the right too(mind the crap in that lane)!! That lane is almost a No risk zone... I passed a crashed biker on the tarr this am, which confirmed my "safer" option! It's probably illegal, but as we all know enforcement of rules is "almost" non-existent in SA... What is acceptable/custom by you motorbikers out there and what do you car drivers think? Keen to hear your view!

Dankie vir die verduidliking Hows your riding going? My comments weren't directed at the Demacon nor the Black Rock team - the latter has hurt me enough over the years Die tante can glad wees I didn't flame her for using this thread to advertise her/his spinning classes

Kan je dat voor mij vertalen alsjeblief

True, you can put it in your back pocket :-) But for post race analysis etc. it's awesome! Training light or heavy - it's what workload your body is used to...

Which results *lol* - I haven't seen any improvements from MTN (Road ladies)this year... in most races they didn't even feature on the podium... and don't just blame the cat. racing for this... Good luck to them for Europe, where the REAL racing happens!! Power makes it easier for the athlete and coach to monitor/track/improve fitness/recovery and peak for certain races. It makes intervals a lot more interesting (sometimes more depressing). The software and analysis that come with it will tell you exactly where you stand locally and internationally at any moment in time. Use it as a guideline, it's not EXACT science! But the quality of training def. improves. But you need more than just good numbers to win races. I use a PT and wouldn't want to go back to HR alone!

Speak to Edmund (ZAPPA) from Sani Spoors on 082 299 5234 for trails. There is also a small bike shop in Underberg on the road to Sani Pass from Underberg - look for a garden service place on your left about 100m from the Shell. I went up without a passport (forgot mine) a few years ago - but there were 6 of us and lukcily they couldn't count that well. When I rode up we had to walk the last 1,5 kms as the wind was blowing like mad - it was COLD on top. Hope for a clear day!

Nothing wrong with them at all... My wife had one (Nitro) for 2 years without any issues - very good value for money.

Good one https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/91821-use-the-freakin-search-button-people/

And wait FRIKKEN months for a "min requirements" WORK permit!! They are 4 months over their stipulated time to review my permit. If you have a CONTACT at Home Affairs Pretoria who can get things done FAST please PM me as I need this permit URGENTLY - it's holding up a bond approval - need it before Friday... maybe a toy gun is the only way... I reckon they cause delays on purpose so they receive more bribes... F$%#%RS!!

Porn* - lemme know if you need another PIG - We'll start base soon.

She did much better than expected but dissapointed in the end with 7th. She picked up a tummy bug a day before race day (African Champs) in Rwanda - she did poorly in that race (felt weak and almost passed out) and she struggled to rid the bug when back in SA. Only on Saturday was she able to eat properly again without major stomach cramps - so she didn't expect to play any role of importance and was committed to support the team. She was in a 4-lady break away 50km in the race with Marissa, Cherise and Linn - but Marissa wasn't confident she could pull it off and slowed the break down so 4 more ladies (incl. 2 MTN) joined with 20km to go. Near the end she took a gel and that made her feel dizzy and at that point an attack went and she couldn't respond immediately. She tried hard to bring Anriette back to the front but going into the last corner Linn nearly crashed and they had to brake hard and thus gone was their chance to get close to the front runners. She gave it her all to defend her title... Now she needs to put in 10-11 hr a day at work to catch up! Thanks for the support!!

Well, at least its a good indication these ladies have potential. 2 years after Jo won the Open category she won the Elite race. Don't forget these guys in F are prepping for the Funrider World Champs!

Please PM me too! Where about on that road? Past the Duck and Do-little?
