As ready as I am going to be! Looking forward to a tough weekend.

Can't wait! Anybody camping at buffelspoort? We should have a braai afterwards.

Maar jy is 'n wakker akker! If they have pulled out I missed it as well, but I don't think we have to worry about organisation, should still be top notch.

Isn't it R320? Either way, well worth it. It is tough and has a lekker vibe. We are doing the 75km mtb and the next day the short trail run.

I had the same thought and actually prefer the silver. I got word from garmin sa that the new versions should be here middle to late Feb, think I might just wait.

I want to hear from those of you that have the standard fenix 3 i.e. not the sapphire. By now most of you have been using your watches for quite some time and I want to know how the glass is holding up in terms of scratches? I have been saving up to get a fenix 3 and now have the money ready. That said, with the rand's poor performance the standard fenix 3 has become more and more attractive as opposed to the sapphire.

"Tests showed that, at 40 kph, the Propel Advanced SL saves 12-36 seconds over 40 kilometres." - Is it just me or does this not make sense at all? At 40 kph even the heaviest, bulkiest bike you can find will still do 40km in one hour. If they said at 40kph it saves a certain amount of energy over 40km i.e. less work done by drag, that would make sense. Either way, I must agree, it is a good looking bike.

I will be there. By far the most fun I had in a race last year.

I haven't encountered the same problem but usually only use prepsol on my drivetrain and my tires sealed pretty well even without sealant so my case might not be a very good comparison.

Thanks for the help with my handlebar . Good to hear you could at least finish.

wrong thread...

The wait isn't that bad, between 1-5mins usually, just enough to make coffee. I think the longest I have ever waited was around 12mins, depends on the time of day obviously.

Also got a great deal on a Merida 96 hfs1000 on OLX about a month ago.

I have found OLX to bring the most hits recently. Advertised a 4x4 trailer for my parents recently and noticed that someone was using my description and photos for a fraudulent add, emailed OLX and they removed it and banned the user the same day.

The matchmaking they brought into csgo is quite cool. After playing 10 games you get a rank which is used to place you against equal opponents. This is more fun than the mayhem of the 10v10 casual servers. You should try it, I got a lot better after discovering the matchmaking. We also did the clan thing for dgl, but not too serious, think we won 2 out of 8 games.haha

Do you guys play competitive matchmaking or casual servers? Strange seeing mention to CSGO and gaming on here but good to know I am not the only one with this combination of hobbies.

I heard that it might be too blue?

I throw my chain into a bottle with some prepsol diluted in warm water, shake it around and rinse afterwards. Works well, it's easy to dispose of and economical.

To me it looks like a crack in the paint from a bump against something. Doesn't look to be in the area that carries the actual load/stress. IMO

Probably didn't have a 100 to start off with...

Thought this might be interesting, as well as serve as a training guideline for next year. What was your 94.7 Cycle Challenge 2013 time vs your time in the saddle the 30 days leading up to the event? My race time 03:29 Time in saddle 08:01 - Including the 55km mountain bike race (thanks to FitTrack) Definitely room for improvement from my side.

Thoroughly enjoyed the race. Was 20 min late and started with R group in stead of M which wasn't really a biggie. Had to average 30kmph on the last section after the N14 to beat my PB of 3:29:44 and somehow I pulled it off coming in 7 seconds faster. I do however feel that I should spend more time in the saddle leading up to next year's event and get a professional bike setup then I might be able to come close to three hours. I was a bit disgusted at times with some of my fellow riders being unnecessarily rude to spectators and volunteers. There was a lady at the finish that had to walk with a plastic bag to clean up after people that just dropped their empty cans where they stood. Other than that had a great day. Congrats to everybody that finished.

We did the rookie yesterday, we only started at 13:00 but had a lot of fun doing it in 1h30. Thinking of doing the next one and trying to do 1hr flat from an earlier staring group.

Playing the incident in slow motion made it seem a lot worse than it was, if Messam didn't go to ground and complain it would probably have been missed. So sad that a game with a lot of potential had to end like this. At the end of the first half I really felt that we had a good chance but then I must also say that we were shocking under the high ball. I can't remember seeing Kirchner successfully catching one high ball.

I emailed to ask if we can make fire in a weber and Walt said it was fine. I got a quick reply.
