Ja dude. You get elevation so easily down here. Also means you're absolutely farked by the time the fun stuff starts. But I need to get better at it. Oh and thanks. Won't lie, I was seriously thinking of not doing the Contermanskloof loop when I got to the crossroads. Glad I did though.

Need to do more of those.

Conters to hoogies and back. Excl trail Z & Q. Parked at conters then ride through to Hoogies, did the normal loop with Cobra and headed back to Conters to do the normal loop of Supertubes and Die Kloof, ending with Tree Charge and a coffee & bran muffin at the Dairy Shed. Was bloody warm out there today. Was interesting riding when I last ate at 5pm. Legs weren't anywhere once I'd got back to Contermanskloof. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What's he whining about now?

we all live in a....

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Yes, Mr Gunn... BTW - what about that was entitlement?

yeah, surface does look pretty flat doesn't it...

If I had the space for a large workshop, and the money to stock it with the tools I want, then I'm afraid I'd have to say the woodwork would win. It's a bloody close race, though.

3d printer, and it was Wayne iirc

or, the sentence began with an F (ef). Or an M (em). Or an N (en). Or a Q (que).

sound is eff. Sounds like an e. therefore, AN F15 if it was Fabulous 15, A Fabulous 15.

Nope, you're both wrong The real rule is as such: The rule states that “a” should be used before words that begin with consonants (e.g., b, c ,d) while “an” should be used before words that begin with vowels (e.g., a,e,i). Notice, however, that the usage is determined by the pronunciation and not by the spelling, as many people wrongly assume. For example: AN hour (o sound), A hotel (Hard H) A unique (y sound), AN underpass (hard U) Another example which is particularly pertinent: In American English, Herb is pronounced with a soft H, or as we would say "erb". Therefore teh correct grammar would be AN herb (an 'erb) In English english, Herb is pronounced with a hard H, therefore A herb.

Yep.

yes. Team rewards came to an end last week

our gypsey had a considerably modified centreboard. LOADS of epoxy & glass. For a family cruiser, it was hard to beat. But we let it go and got a halcat instead.

I think it will be with you soon. And that sort of delay is the norm, I'm afraid.

Lasers are wonderfully raw boats to sail. SO simple, yet so unforgiving. But also easy to get going again once you've capsized her. And you WILL capsize her. Repeatedly. And then carry on doing it so that you can practice righting her.

The Moth? That thing is mental... yeah, agreed on the others. I used to race a dabchick back in the yesteryears (wasn't that great at it though) but a laser & halcat were my normal boats (family boat was a halcat, family friends had the original laser) whenever we went to Midmar. I remember seeing the first 49ers to hit the shores being tested in the Durban harbour. That was the pinnacle at the time.

nah, hobie 16 is fine as a 1-up. Just don't get too greedy with the speed stakes, and keep a firm hand on the main! EDIT: If you're going offshore or in a howler, then obviously you'd need a crew. But for normal sailing a solo mission is absolutely fine. Just keep the sails properly trimmed for your weight and the wind speed, and be ready to let it go into the wind at the shortest notice.

It's COD. That's an automatic NO.

yep. Notorious for their BS and utter ignorance surrounding tyres that they don't stock.
