Im planting some lettuce and spinach today. I made a bed out of some old pallets, about 50cm x 20cm. How much of which can I plant in there and what spacing would be needed? also how deep should the container be?

give me a shout, ill help boet

If I needed the entry I surely would have made a plan, no problem

Spoilsport, could at least let me enjoy the spot at the top for another day (or 3)

Haha, Im glad someone figured my game out Time for a bit of mind games this week... But yes, the HAM is seriously committed to winning this!

I think I had the heat on way too much yesterday, tasted burnt, and lots of spitting out the nozzle at the top. Im using a gas stove, so ill take it easier. Shot for the detailed and useful advice!

Finally got myself a 4 cup bialetti/Moka pot. Not new to it, but this is MY first one, any tips/tricks or advice from the guys using this for long? I want that perfect cup of coffee

Cracked myself up for Hendrik and Naas' comments

Naas and everyone involved, what an awesome race and vibe and everything around it, it was nothing short of excellent! loved the route, it was challenging but yet enjoyable, the new section of singletrack on top of the big climb was cool but the scenery was breathtaking. well done and thank you very much for all the effort to make it a great success! Ill be back!

Very nice! I usually track the solar activities here https://spaceweather.sansa.org.za/products-and-services/current-conditions/solar-images

Dont know how the race organisers cant even get the correct time of the top 2 teams, they won by 3minutes or something!!!

dude just claim points for the races you did, thats instantly 3000 points right there. doesnt go to you grand total of vitality points, but gets you the free smoothie though, LOL

I know this isn't the classifieds, but maybe I can help someone out over here before throwing it to the wolves out there I built up a super sweet FR-211 Flyxii frame with the lightest components that I could find and the bike gave me the best year and a bit of riding ever!! Im super sad to have to let her go, but I got a sponsorship and have to ride their brand now. If anyone is interested (just the frame) you know how to get hold of me, for the rest of you, this was my chinese baby, 9.2Kg

Ill rather not share my footage from commuting though traffic, but I just decided a few weeks back, stuff it, im not spending 45 mins in traffic to work and back. Now I get to work calm, relaxed and I save money and add some time in the saddle.

not sure if someone already said this... but he was tough very well by his previous team captain Mr Armstrong himself

I train a lot on the rollers too, I must agree that putting in more time on them gives you more confidence to ride harder/faster as well as standing up. I have not reached the point of standing up and sprinting with your hands on the drops but I heard this can be done... what I did find and something that provides quite a workout is doing one foot at a time for half a minute or more and immediately changing and do the other one. combine that with some speed intervals and you have a serious workout going

Guys, give the poor oke a break and Johan please break down the problem of the broken brakes that arent braking before someone breaks a nail or something

I am involved at High school Hottentots Holland cycling club (Somerset West, Cape town) and there is a quite a bit of interest, unlike the kids from the other schools in the somerset west area, not all of the kids that would like to ride owns their own bike. I have tried to get some bikes from places that support similar causes but it is usually a lengthy process or we don't qualify for any funding or bike sponsorship. I know there are similar causes here on thehubSA and I dont mean to intrude but if there are anyone out there who has any type of bike that can ride or even some components to spare we will be more than grateful and you will make some kid very happy. Some of the kids are also participating in the spur schools challenge and we would like to give more of them the opportunity. send me a PM or reply if you want to get involved.

I hated it, it was like a road ride most of the way and the singletrack was so bumpy my arms are still numb. Also in the route profile they said only 1350m vertical ascent, we ended up doing 1800m!
