Sadly my clothes can only hang below my desk and I'm not looking forward to put wet clothes and shoes for the commute home.

While on this topic - please let me know if anyone has a 54/55/56 front chain ring for sale. Suggestions on size or alternatives welcome - we have a 11-25 on the back. We're running out of gears with a 53 and if we ever wanna do a race we'll be dropped in no time...

I bought my parents the below 49" 7350 Samsung TV for R9.999 https://www.takealot.com/samsung-49-uhd-curved-led-tv/PLID41685088 Note that shops will try and clear old stock - I would no longer consider the Samsung 6 series.

I always move towards the middle of the road (clearly indicating) before I get to a narrowing circle. Some cars just don't have patience and I have been squeezed out a few times. I have a similar gripe with cars overtaking just before a sharp corner... they slam on brakes and not to crash in the back of them I have to slam on brakes to or come next to them... grrrrr!!!

I once had the same problem and ended up 'borrowing' a security lady's spare trousers after asking around if anyone could help! Had some good laughs... Now 4-5 pairs live in my locker!

Sorted

I think mine is about 2/3 rds commute distance wise. I climb about 500m on average per return commute so that's been adding up nicely. Maybe next year I must make 200km of total climbing my goal

Just add some sand to your paint, but yes would have done the trick too.

The steel gate entering Emmerentia (Beyers side) does not budge when I tried to cut the corner a bit Cut my elbow instead and had a very sore descent

From reading up on last year they only raced to the top and neutral down to avoid possible chaos. Even without cars racing down there is too dangerous IMO.

I'd be too scared to strangle a few motorists - I don't have any weapons on me for that reason

I also have spare keys of my lock and lockers locks in my office draw and a colleague has a spare draw key... I've also got spare clothes in my locker... I once got to work and realized I forgot my pants but I managed to borrow a security lady's spare pants... which was hilarious on the day!

Thanks It doesn't need to be 800 deep, but the fixed feature next to it is 800 deep and the other side is a wall... so the space can't be used for anything else...

Any advise where I can buy a good quality wardrobe?! I'm considering www.pineperfect.co.za or Tafelberg Measurements should be 2100 (H) x 800 (D) and 1000 (W) with a top shelf and underneath a clothes hanger. I'm in the Northcliff area - GP. What other places can I check out? Thanks!

I also need a bell urgently! So yesterday morning on my commute I'm on the main Emmerentia bridge and see a guy with his dog coming towards me so I slow down... to my surprise this guy think it's a great idea to start his morning stretch exercises and throws his leg across the bridge... I had to take evasive action but sadly the bridge is very slippery with the morning due and my front wheel went, my handlebars got caught on the rails and my pedal slammed into my leg scraping it from top to bottom... I was in so much pain I couldn't even talk and just nodded to his apology... wheel slightly buckled and handlebars a bit skew so managed to limp to work,,,

Talking about road rage... yesterday on my commute home a car overtook another car in opposite direction to me and was thus coming straight at me... so instead of hugging the pavement to the left I uncleated and stuck out my foot taking off the car's mirror... am I an asshole or is there a better way to handle this?! Traffic was bad enough so he/she couldn't chase me down and potentially kill me... In 2.5 years this is only the second mirror I took off - the first one was a car reversing the yellow lane (which I was cycling in) as traffic was bad and he wanted to reverse 1km back to the previous intersection against oncoming traffic...

How technical is the 70km?! Trying to convince my wife - who only did Cradle Quest Challenge (1st women) and Sani2c (3rd mixed) - to do this one as she's a good climber.

Agree, surely they can think how to make this a little more exciting than riding along a fence or patch next to a main road for 10-20 km. And a stage 2 which covers 50% of what you've done on stage 1... should be discounted by 50%. A well organised event, so not complaining too much

Mud wasn't too bad... rode with the wife for Sani2c training... she managed to finish 11th overall for the 75km Challenge with a puncture... she was 20 min faster than the next lady... man doping... there was no prize money in the Challenge. She bruised plenty of ego's out there I had fun on Sunday for stage 2 (wife had a work commitment) - suffered the full 45km... finished 10th on stage 2 and 14th overall.

How will the current and forecasted (tmrw) RAIN affect the route in terms of difficulty & danger... Wife's fractured ribs are healed but doesn't want to take unnecessary risks before Sani2C... Also doing Trophy.

His name is Roeloff du Plessis 082 7887 421 www.pool-guard.co.za These guys came highly recommended for CT.

In that case I'll buy the one with all the mistakes from you for cheap cheap

After all this moaning and groaning man I'm glad my wife didn't go down! Time to stop b!tching me thinks

Msunduzi Worlds Masters qualifier - us through the trees?

My suggestion would be as follows: each elite lady gets (randomly) assigned to a fun rider. First lady with funrider to cross the finish wins Extreme funride world champs... It's Friday after all!
