I snapped an achilles playing squash. All sorts of complications after op with nerves being cut accidentally etc etc. Now fat and lazy ...

I see my sentiment has already been expressed almost verbatim. I cant find a way to delete a post though?

Awesome downhill footage and depeche mode as a bonus

There is somebody on the roof of that truck as well!

Here is some amazing time lapse footage of the lenticular clouds forming over Table Mountain https://www.facebook.com/simon.bloomer.92/videos/10154408455594768/

They are lenticulars, but even so they are quite special and not the normal wave cloud one sees downwind of table mountain on strong NW wind days. On this day we had unusual conditions with a SE pushing up and over the mountain from the south and a moderate to strong NW on the Northern side. The turbulence in the shear layer between the two layers must have been quite interesting and that with a very high moisture content of the air resulted in these beautiful clouds. Off course, it could just be the most obvious answer, which is aliens....

I was there that day. The bus had not blown over yet, but had been shunted sideways and come to a halt. The first person out was the bus driver The bus was rocking wildly in the wind, but being a double decker, all the passengers on the lower level were trying to get out first and the people on the top were trapped. Myself and about three others hung onto the windows on the windward side until everybody got off. We begged the driver to come back and drive the bus another 20m, which would have been out of the venturi. He refused and after we dropped off the upwind side, it took another two minutes or so before a really big gust did turn the bus over. The really annoying thing was the papers made the bus driver seem like some sort of hero, because nobody got hurt, when in truth he was a coward and endangered everybody's lives on the upper floor. I traffic cop arrived and there were some great pictures of him break dancing in the wind trying to police the intersection. He got blown over regularly His mate arrived on a motorbike ... wheee whaaa wheee wham slam dunk .. blown right over. Only slightly hurt, but his ego was hugely dented. It does not blow quite as strongly through that venturi now. It still very impressive, but the building layouts have changed and diminished the wind slightly.

Team New Zealand are on port tack. Oracle on Starboard. Port always gives way to starboard, so New Zealand are in the wrong. Rules are different for power boats. Power should always give way to sail and pass port to port when meeting (as per the give way diagram) What's really confusing about the clip, is that both boats are sailing downwind. They don't go directly downwind, but tack downwind at about 225 degrees (180 + 45) to the true wind direction. With the foils and wing masts, they can approach 50 knots (~100km/h) before the foils start to cavitate. At this speed the apparent wind moves so far forward, that they can sheet their sails all the way in, hence it looked like they were sailing upwind when I first saw the clip. Out of interest, if you let a balloon go at the top mark, these boats will beat it to the bottom mark. I think their course made good directly downwind is about 1.5* the windspeed. Some ice yachts can get well over 2*

I rode there this morning? Plenty of cyclists still around at 11:30.

For years I have battled with my weight. Discovery health considers me over weight, or slightly obese. I cycle more than 1000 km a month throughout the year. I have an enlarged heart from too much endurance exercise, am almost tea total and don't eat badly, but my weight climbs at the slightest reduction in exercise.So this year, I decided to cut out all refined carbs. Gone are the occasional chocolate or fizzy drink. Nuts, biltong etc all OK.I have not had a chest infection this year after 14 bouts of cold/flu last year and ...My weight is in free fall. Its dropping too fast to be considered healthy, but I will worry about that when I reach my goal weight, since I am not starving myself .... I might even have a chocolate then .So for those in a similar situation ... Tim Noakes may be right

Gerhard Genis was fantastic at instigating discipline in the Outriders peloton. He has been sadly missed after a bad injury (broken leg) and moving to the northern suburbs, but has left enough of a legacy, such that we remember how it should be done.
