I'll be taking you up on that offer, Friday say at about 13:00 possibly? I'll bring recycled toilet paper rolls!

I only got an X-Trail, will have to bring a trailer with the Zim Dollars in

Uuuuuuuuhhhhhhhmmmmmm collection point, time and number of ZA ronds to be exchanged

Pantani - take a moment from your deliberate debate creation and do something constructive like sending me my friggin 'bling' gift (white booties or arm protectors perhaps ) for babying those wheels all the way to Sabie and the fact that they did not 'disappear' (onto my bike!) before we got there

Pazzaz, 44cm, sorry no! They now on the Allez Sport trainer!

Schweeeet! Fitted some Halo bars and stem last week. It took me to that acceptably good 2:42 at 94.7!!!! And as far as my wife is concerned I would have ridden at least 3:00:02 again with my old bike so luckily I upgraded

Hey mate, not even the weather 'experts' know. How can a mere hubba answer that? Or was it rhetorical and I missed that

DR - 20g's? That's a bit harsh for roadies! Some of those okes are already wearing only 1 sock!

As some would say 'Auk wa EWEP?' !

Parra - Pike ?

They want someone who won't crash Having a bike in 1 piece also helps I think, they don't want you carrying the damn thing!

If you need it I'm sure you can!

Pantani as a very recently married gentleman (can this be used here hubbers? Not sure!) should you already be using words like Viagra and hypertension?

You did but went passed to fast for me to reply! Luckily we had lots of time to chat in between, enjoyed it.

Jy som dit mooi op meneer DR If you can smile at the speed you going I'd be worried! Passed me with no respect (I am older than you and you should know better!) early Sunday morning.

But lets be a bit more realistic about this, do you honestly think that 90% of the population (not cycling shop addicted like most hubbers that is!) would even think to buy a kids bike from a cycling shop? Most of them do the Christmas shopping at the likes of Makro, Game, Dions or even at those beside the road special offers. The question is whether there shouldn't be some kind of SABS standard for these things that are brought in from the 'far' east (no not Boksburg/Benoni!) at virtually no cost? Just wondering .........

Unbaised suggestion? You questioning my integrity young man ?

I have heard a comment similar to 'this place is like a circus', only difference is that at a circus the clowns are not in charge! So ya maybe but then again ...........

Being the CIO of a large telecommunications supplier takes me there! IT is the field (a long time ago for me!).

Hi Nellie (up late aren't you?), here on business. Am flying back tonight already though, riding the Mugg and Bean 24hr this weekend!

Jeez okes and girls got a lesson today in how cyclists and pedestrians should be treated! Traveled by taxi from the train station in Herentals (Belgium) to my hotel, despite it being winter here there were quite a few cyclists around (not recreational in this case but people goin about their business). The cars gave way for cyclists, waited patiently behind them where the roads were too narrow etc. Having said that, they (the cyclists) obeyed all traffic rules! Stopped at robots/stop streets and even signaled their intentions!

Nah' date=' we'll do our talking at Sabie X [/quote'] That's taking it a bit personal but OK, just talk loud cause not sure I'm gonna hear you that well when I'm so far behind

The Howzit kit we had made for our SabieX team has also now been tested thoroughly and passed! We had the better 'HT90' or something like that padding and it works a treat. We rode the 3 day pre-ride, 94.7 (2 laps, if you can call those 'laps'!) and a few training rides. All good!
