Stii waiting for him to reply to me. Didn't see him today.

Second that, bit pricey though.

They are descending a long way at high speeds, after perspiring on the way up, you get cold, and the muscles stiffen so keep warm for that reason.

Bull, you were sick already, and the symptoms appeared after your ride. Have you been stepping up your training a lot lately?

It'll be cold by the time it gets thereB)

Messaged my buddy, will reply here when I get a reply. May see him Sat.

and I swam across a few days after sighting of a big un :wacko: Wondered why I had shivers up my spine...

Notice beer featured prominently in both

Wouldn't expect SASCOCk to fund them, then they wouldn't have money to go themselves Tim, was PAW on the other forum no? Rode Wild Ride SS too IIRC Some specials for worlds Peatys bike Sams Helmet

When I see that Healthier Choice sign, I run edit, also then you know there's sugar, or fructose

Eldron, the BP coffee used properly is just a tool to up your fat intake. I eat little, and consequently not enough fat to get to my target KJ for the day, this is a problem for me, because I do a lot of physical work and walking though the day, and I don't want my body to go into fasting mode. BP coffee in the morning and then two healthy, nutritious, albeit fatty/oily meals later in the day. Small protein and a plate of green veg salad, or cooked veg. My BP coffee, home made butter, I know it's good, because I make it from my own cows milk, 30-40g, coconut oil 30-40g, so much goodness in the cold pressed coconut oil, rather than MCT oil, that is made who knows how, 50g fresh cream, so thick it cannot be poured 50ml full cream raw milk, fresh from the cows, 1 double shot espresso Not to every-ones taste, but it gets me through the morning.

I'm not sure, best to get hold of the Ocean View Hotel in Coffee Bay about the Mntata River, and Umngazi river bungalows about the Mngazana and Mngazi Rivers. I'll find out from a buddy about the Mtakakie River, he has a house there.

Well done Fanie, It's bloody hard, even after 8 1/2 years I still get the urge to have a drag at times, but luckily the oke that I used to bum smokes from has had to give up. Stuff that, I hate it when people smoke around me, and I'll let them know it.

This would be one of the best trips you could undertake, Ive done the Imana a few times, and the route is spectacular. Take camera's with. The rivers will depend on the season, it's best to do the trip in the dry season, winter, as then most of the rivers are fordable. The Bashee is scary, but I've swum it a few times. Get hold of The Haven Hotel and let them know what time you'll be there, and they will organize that the ferry (canoe) operator is there. All the rivers between The Kei and Coffee Bay are fordable, but the rivers between Coffee Bay and Umngazi are big, and ferries will be required, The Mntata, Mtakagie, Mngazana, and Mngazi rivers are all too big and dangerous, read Zambezi Sharks, to cross without ferries. Check the tides when you are planning your trip, and work out that you get 1/2 way at low tide, springs are better, but not absolutely essential. Another thing to watch out for is your time, this will be a slow trip, I was reasonably fit, and finished each day in about 3 to 3 1/2 hours. You will be doing a lot of walking on day 1 and 2, and will have to push/carry your bike up the mothers, they're that steep. Make sure that you get permits for the game reserves, Dwesa/Cwebe at the Haven, and Hluleka between Coffee Bay and Mngazi. https://amatolianmountaindog.wordpress.com/, I wrote about 2 Wild Rides here. Get hold of Wil6, I know he also was wanting to trip the ride

What a good innings from Marsh. Some of those shots were outrageous. SA still have to win this game, go for it

Liked this comment from ESPNCrickinfo

In my opinion, the Ride has gone the way of Bicycling, become irrelevant to the experienced rider, sad that, I enjoy reading Steve Shapiro's and Grant Usher's columns

I sometimes enjoy reading Telford Vice's column http://telfordvice.wordpress.com/2014/09/02/can-we-trust-sa-to-win-when-it-counts/ Esp

I miss those views, I lived in Riviersonderend about 15 years ago, and rode all over the Greyton, Genadendal, Riviersonderend and Napier areas. There were some seriosly steep 4x4 roads up into the Sonderend mountain that I used to ride. Killer up, but so much fun down.

Useless Fact of the day: If you could fold a piece of paper 42 times it would reach the moon. Each time you fold the piece of paper, its thickness doubles in length. So a 1mm thick piece of paper folded becomes 2mm, then 4, then, 8, then 16, etc. The exponential increase in width means that, mathematically, after only 42 folds, the paper would be 384,000 km thick: approximately the distance to the moon. (Disclaimer: we're not suggesting that this is actually possible. But nothing like a bit of maths on a Monday morning.) Courtesy of the Daily Maverick

Or disassemble an old cassette, and find the cog you need. Even cheaper.

Mine is 30-40g butter, 30-40g coconut oil, 50g cream and a double shot of espresso, I cannot stand it sweetened, just seems to make it even oilier, love it like this. I'll often put a teaspoon of coconut oil in my coffee, or coconut cream if there is an open tin in the fridge

3 Wickets. 2 to Phangiso 52/3

1st was by Eddo Brandes, who was once chirped "Why have you got so fat" by a frustrated Glenn Mcgrath, to which Brandes replied, "Because everytime I make love to your wife she gives me a biscuit". One of the few times Mcgrath was outchirped.

Look at Georges ears, they say come any closer and you are in trouble. He's a big cat, bigger than the dog.
