Sorry to hear that, get better soon and thanks for initiating all of this!

Personally I hope this group splits into some smaller, more manageable groups by the time we hit the M1.

That sucks, hope you can make it after all of this.

2014 94.7 was 3:25 Fastest one was 2:47 on the old, easier route.

Did it last year, rather save my legs for sunday this time.

It's Homestead I think, has this been resurfaced? Definitely needed it.

Guys lets worry about the weather on the morning. Weather forecasts are useless this far away from the day.

Couldn't agree more with number 4, VERY DANGEROUS section!

If you use the 'more reply options' next to 'post' then you should be able to attach files, even in a tab.

No you can't ride the 109 km route No you can't do two laps No they won't refund you your R400 No they won't come up with another long route before Sunday But be happy, Be happy that you are healthy enough and physically capable of riding a bicycle Be happy that you can afford to ride a bicycle Be happy you are able to plan and pay for a weekend to the coast Be happy that you weren't one of the people who lost their homes in the fire Be happy that you weren't one of the many animals that died in the fire Be happy that the biggest problem you have in life is missing out on the Argus cycle race, because apparently it is.

please go and tell these guys about your bicycle ride being shortened.

Don't forget your etags at home.

Will there be late entries for this ride?

Anyone still remember the bakwena challenge, out on the n4 toll road in PTA? Nice fast ride on a closed off highway a week or so before the 94.7. Good times!

Going through all these comments is quite depressing, I still remember the original dome 2 dome that started at northgate, 116km I think? Anyway seems there are less and less well organized and properly sponsored road races these days? Most of the bigger races have changed sponsors and routes, only think that hasn't changed is the race fees. Anyway well done to all, sounded like a tough ride.

Not his fault. I heard some pharmacist swopped his real bike with this one.

1000 posts... Whatever. I've been on the hub for nearly 10 years and bought and sold my fair share. What matters is this is my name and my photo which counts way more than 100 000 posts from a nickname and a cartoon avi.

The only party more disgusting than CS, and that's difficult to beat, are the attorneys representing them. I've seen people make their name ass on national tv before but CS really outdid themselves. You can supersize my burger combo at your next job.

New Bicycling magazine also came with a sticker.

Ride any bike - risk your life.

Now that's a good idea, are they available locally or did you buy it online?

Riding against the flow of traffic is a kamikaze tactic of note! The reaction time of yourself and the oncoming car is almost nothing, you are traveling at speed in opposite directions and if you make contact it's a head on collision, the most serious type of collision! Cornering and blind rises make it almost impossible to pull off safely. If you want to see approaching traffic when you're out exercising then rather take up running. Runners move a lot slower.

Pinarello charge that price because they can, and you know what they say 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...' If you want to buy the Chinese knockoff or the real thing then that's your prerogative but stop looking for approval.

RIP... my heart goes out to all who knew him. I can't begin to imagine what his wife and family must be going through! When so many people die on our roads each year we need to stop referring to them as 'accidents'. That's bull***t, it's negligence, weak law enforcement and lack of consideration for those around us! Government need to start enforcing the law and stop trying to profit from it. Sorry for the venting, I'm just sick and tired of reading about this unnecesary carnage every day.

I'm not too sure how they would define the setup in terms of the above but he did tell me its based around the methood that Greg LeMond devised. You can check out their site at www.cyclefit.co.za. Full setup was R550 and took just over an hour so its quite intensive, they actually film you before and after so you can see the difference in your body position.
