Eish, not good news. Please keep us updated and wish him all the best for a speedy recovery from us.

Can I just do the jumping in the pool bit? Can't you read? HRH Nancy Drew said her parents said you have to get muddy first then go in the shower before you can go in the pool. IanJ2009-12-07 14:33:10

You won't enjoy it, we have to stop before it gets dark and it is less than 200km. HRH Nancy Drew - I will confirm attendance as soon as possible.

Just to set the record straight, I was involved in the Marin incident (JB I presume we are talking about the same one). When we stripped the frame for painting we noticed a crack and discussed it with the painter before sending it to him. All he said was that he could try to drill holes to stop the crack spreading and he would fill the crack with putty. He never once mentioned welding or attempting to repair the frame and no welding was done. We got the painted frame back and within a few months the crack reappeared and started spreading. We also noticed cracks starting to appear in other places on the frame. After consulting with JB we have stopped using the frame. I do not believe that we were misled in any way by the painter he made no claims which could be disputed.

BigBen, call that a race report? We need a bit more detail please. How did you guys do? Congratulations to everyone that took part and especially those that got places in their categories.

You gonna slaughter two calves at the 24hr? Cool, good protein for SabieX.

I have been with Cyclesure also for about 3 years and have 2 bikes insured with them for myself and my son. In that time we have had approximately six claims mainly for crash damage. Each claim has been dealt with promptly and usually settled within 2-3 hours. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.

what! and break my momentum and speed? Go ride on the Cradle Route (but keep it single file).

Ditto me as well Ditto that ditto' date=' me as well . [/quote'] Had to go check....actually my 9th. HA.........eks voor die ou ooms!!! http://www.advrider.com/forums/images/smilies/fitz.gif Aha but I did 2 laps one year does that count? Sure it counts!!! Then my second lap will also have to count, giving me 10! OK then I'm on my 9th .... Ok but I have been riding portions of the route every morning this year so I have done 136. Think we'd better stop now, Spidey wins.

I doubt it, more likely vagrants

That picture looks very boring, we have mine dumps and taxi's and all kind of interesting things on our rides. Actually I hate you.

Ditto me as well Ditto that ditto, me as well .

Ag Wolfie don't be silly, it says Cheetahs and Blue Bulls on the poll. Do they have those sexy dancers when someone hits a six?

I am not sure, which side is batting first?

Just some feedback. Chucky and myself met with a representative of the residents from the Cradle area last week. Ken was invited but unfortunately could not make the meeting. I am not going to go into details here just yet but various issues were discussed, some positive and some negative and a list has been drawn up. In this weeks CGC newsletter it was also announced that CGC is coordinating a much bigger meeting with various interested parties in the area which should be held early in November, we will be forwarding our notes to CGC and will also attend this new meeting. One interesting development around which there seems to be some confusion is the widening of the Cradle road. It seems there is a good chance that this will incorporate a properly demarcated cycling lane which will go a long way towards solving many of the traffic issues. We are trying to get clarity on this. In the meantime please let's all just respect the rules of the road and be courteous to all other road users and the local residents.

17:30 (half past five) Trying for 1 hour + 1 lap tonight, weather and light permitting.

24 hours solo' date=' geared or not, is sheer insanity. [/quote'] I'm in - flights are booked - still have to enter though. And you're wrong - 24 hours solo, geared or not, is pure cycling heaven! I agree but his Sabie X would be hell if he gave it everything in a solo 24hr a week before.

All depends what you intend doing in 24hrs, if you want to do as many laps as possible i.e ride competitively then forget doing any kind of racing for at least 2-3 weeks. However if you intend to do a few laps then chill for a bit and have a sleep later then get up and do some more it won't be too bad. Some people have been known to ride for a bit then leave and go to a party and then come back the next morning and carry on haven't they Jules?

Also went to Northgate again today, not a single Whasp product on the shelves. Asked the salesman and he said they ordered a month ago and can't get stock. Also told me not to bother going to Fourways because they also haven't got any stock. Pornstar something is going wrong somewhere, this is the second salesman to tell me the same story. By the way thanks for the free product at the crit last night. What was the green drink?

Afraid it's been an ongoing issue. Dischem blames Whasp and Whasp blames Dischem. I also struggle to get things I need up here especially at Dischem, got some recently at Northcliff Cycles at a much higher price and after trying 3 Dischem stores.

Excuse my ignorance but what time period would that have been?

Ok so it turns out that the chick that fancies me is from Senegal and had a rich daddy that was assasinated by the rebels. But get this, daddy had over 9 million US in the bank and Mariam can get it with my help. I have asked her to send me more info and a photo. Interestingly the mail reply I sent was forwarded to another email addresses which is listed as a known scammer email. I just love this line from her reply email: Please do keep this only to your self please I am on my kneels in the name of the god, do not disclose this secret to anybody till i come over to your country

Hey chucky all the best buddy, keeping fingers crossed for you. I would say that the best way to deal with this would be to go and ride 850 km on your MTB.

Actually that is a good idea, I already have several accounts for such purposes. Will do it later though cos I have to go earn some money now. Will post the results back here.
