See they also have gated communities where this fella lives with a guard at the boom gate.

Now that's proper.

I live on the route and done plenty of these before, so no transport issues or numbers collection issues. However I didn't ride this year mainly because of cost of entry. Kids were keen to do the short version so if we all entered would have been a whack. So we watched front ous breeze by and then had a braai. Good day out. Got to pick and choose these days

How do you say look ma no teeth in Spanish?

Your bad. Should never dump anything on your underwear

Already got a skidmark on the hub. Buttrash?

Don't even try. Just hand them to your wife. She'll know what to do. Mine would throw them away . Why are you skidding on your bum anyway? Surely your knees or elbows would take most of the skid? :P

There will be rollcall after the game. Anyone not present and accounted for will be banned from riding for 6 months

Let's be honest about all this. In the beginning, after the six days of creation, and the day of rest, God created Rugby. It's sport in it's purest form. All these lovely other things we do like cycling, running, triathlons, piano playing etc are marvelous. But they ain't rugby. So get thee to the tv on Sunday am with your bok jersey. Or Else.

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey. PVRing rugby is not allowed under any circumstances. Can lose your supporters licence for a comment like that

My son ,13, told me he needs a new bike. I told him in jest he could have his mom's. He put his saddle on the thing and rode around the driveway. She arrived home while he was riding it, so he reckons dad said I could have your bike, cos I can ride it faster than you... So I get storys. Chicks.

Nearly broke my iPad screen trying to catch your goggo.

Sorry GOG. Sounds like you might need the couch and a beer. Beer good for knees.

People who don't colour code should be tazered. Cyclists or otherwise. And wearing blue and brown together is not colour coded. Ever. I am the fashion police.

What are muggies?

Look dodgy in a speedo,( for swim training in the gym) , with top deck looking legs, white tops and brown tanned bottoms, plus dodgy shaving lines when having difficulty knowing how far up to stop.

15 hrs a week with job, wife , kids and beer drinking mates is very very difficult. And tiring. I think it's all about what you want to get out of it. If you want to finish as fast and strong as you possibly can, or are racing for a specific position (like winning) , then it's what you got to do. However there are lots of ous who ride stage races on much less training than that. They might take a bit longer per day or hurt a bit more, but their 16 weeks before has a bit more balance to it.

Nothing common, law or otherwise, about her. World-class in fact.

Correct. It's a term of endearment.

Crazy that. You replace the bits, but grumpily. Still costs you and still got irritated customer who probably wont come back. Why not , Hell, I'm so sorry, let's replace for free with pleasure and a smile, then the dude tells 10 mates how he got sorted.

I also got wide feet. Prefer the fit of specialized shoes. Had a pair of basic mtb sport for years and very comfy. Just upgraded to their comp version, with side buckle and 2 straps. Hurt my feet for first few rides but settled in now and all good. I won't look past spez shoes for me.

In an event recently, down a rocky technical section, with max only room for 1 rider on the track, some dude who started in about z batch of the short distance, tried to squeeze past my current wife and her mate. They had to pull off to the side, get off and let him through. Few metres later our hero went tip and rolling over the bars, and they rode past him sprawling. Sometimes MTB levels the playing field itself.

Eish brother, I feel your pain , literally. I've had it bilaterally from running, that pain when it bites is something else. Going from full speed to lying down like you've been shot in the knee in 1 metre. Don't know your training and racing schedule but I do know it takes a loooong time, with lots of rest and then slow build up. Doesn't affect my bike riding though. Good luck

Is a good idea. I've got a head start. Got 2 massive avo trees that are excellent producers, but I'm a *** farmer. Between the monkeys (airborne) and labradors (landborne), I have to still buy mine from Spar. Maybe need a scarecrow. Got healthy dogs though.

Is this not just a cyclical phenomenon. Such as circa 04 and 07. I remember the days of 12 to dollar and more. Doesn't it all just correct itself to true values at some point?
