  1. +100. A knob deluxe...
  2. I was wondering WTF Johnny English was doing in the movie...
  3. I don't think I have ever used the Garmin wall charger. My GPSes have always been charged from my PC.
  4. Folks, Just got great news: Dangle's back! The moderators have apologised to him for his unfair suspension, asked him to post more and damn the consequences. Apparently he's also to be promoted to uber-Moderator! Welcome back, laddie!
  5. Mani-yak - and they've got a picture of a goat? Beard and all... How about Mani-ibex?
  6. Apparently the limit is 15mph.
  7. Here's news on an awesome electric bike from Specialized - but it has been banned in the UK since it's too fast! http://www.reghardware.com/2012/03/29/uk_government_says_e_bike_too_fast_for_roads/
  8. I have just wet myself!
  9. Lekker ride, but will be missing it this year - same day as the Wilro and as a committed roadie...
  10. These are your PPA seeding - for PPA events only, so unless you're in Zilleland (not Zululand), they're not much use...
  11. Myth, I reckon. Look at Andrew Mclean and Yolande Speedy. Neither of them can actually be declared a bean pole. In my inexpert opinion, the big difference is in the ability of the bike to roll and its manoeuvrability. If I had to get a bike now, I'd like to try a 29er HT. I don't like full-sussers personally.
  12. There's a Mike The Headless Chicken day complete with a headless chicken run and bicyle poker, too: http://www.mikethehe...rg/festival.php
  13. The only cycling angle to this is the "hijack" ride that occurred before the run and isn't mentioned, but I love the headless chickens bit: http://news.iafrica.com/sa/785483.html
  14. At the hotel.
  15. Did that during the Sani Transfrontier race. The winners were just under 2 hours...
  16. If I remember correctly, it's just over an hour and a half up from the hotel and about half an hour down. Just over two hours...
  17. They should give doughnuts to the race stage winners, too...
  18. Now Johnny Koen IS worth travelling to Louis Trichardt for!!! YAY!!! My supporter's club is going to be most happy. She reckons he's the best commentator she's come across at the races...
  19. Seeing as I am an acolyte of the Church Of The Flying Spaghetti Monster, can I also demand pasta for breakfast? Geez, if your superstitions go this far, why not rather stay at home?
  20. Does so. Read the post: "in my opinion". Your opinion may differ... I should also say that I am more of a jogger as opposed to a runner...
  21. I'm not a pro/great/whatever runner, but in my opinion there are two aspects: - I reckon cardio vascular effort in cycling is greater than running - impact wise, running is much greater than cycling. So cycling gives more cardio, but less impact. I think most people concentrate on the "difficulty" (impact) of running compared to cycling.
  22. We miss you guys in the tandem bunch... Martin and I can't make it, but we'll be thinking of you and Allistair. BTW, if you think he hurt you, it's nothing on what you did to us!
  23. They're redirecting all their web traffic to the Argus results page...
  24. Get a life. The comment was tongue-in-cheek. Andrew and Jerone were dropped off on the course and waited for them. Duh. As for riding twice, read the rules. This is explicitly disallowed unless permission is asked for and granted. It's their race...
  25. Can we start apporitioning the blame now? Or do we have to wait for some facts?
