I'll wear my red nose then you won't feel too stoopid

I remember that incident, myself and my boet did the Vets and Ladies tour in 2006. Fortunately as usual we were not at the 'sharp end of the field' If memory serves me right the rider got up and finished the race .....

Gotta love that 'ek kannie mehr' and 'eks moeg' at the end, must be frikkin hard work ....

Will let you know

What time does it start and finish Ox?

Thaba with 1 gear? Now I'm convinced you're a bit touched in the head ...... Rietvlei maybe though - will have to confirm closer to the time

Dude you're spending way too much time around Montaingoaty and Meridaman!

I always thought 'hemp' was a shirt

- love my Garmin 500 for all the reasons mentioned! Also got all sorts of stuff just lying around abandoned in the cupboard since then.

Jissis boet I know people who know you that may know where you live

Boarded there 76-78

Whispers 'yes'

Just wondering road or MTB?

True that, at the time it was a tad crazy!

Should this really be a 'sticky' weedmod

I used to catch the train from Nigel to Jeppe on hostel weekends but I had no bike so sorry Joe can't help

They are a week apart now so no worries, just do it!

You sure it was just the pedals - even with other pedals you have to twist the foot and take it out (in time!) ....

I just went from a 600 bar to a 660 on my 29r ....... Was strange at first and I tended to 'over correct' in the twistys but as I'm getting used to it it's fine!

Have to love this quote from a mate 'One still needs to recognize that this is not an easy sport; it's an endurance sport, which requires some modicum of preparation. Now, whether that be training, dieting or simply trying to ride on days that you're not hungover, I'll leave that to the peanut gallery.'

My bike is not light anyway and my biggest weight problem is not the bike

+1

I am a BIG guy and ride an 80mm Skareb on one of my bikes (it is the air one), there is some irritating flex but never been scared it breaks ....

My Dad owned this exact car when we were kids (1978 Holden Monaro GTS) .... was the coolest car in the street then and that V8 had a mean sound! Still in the extended family and being restored at the moment. Only pic I got unfortunately
