Does he have a bike? Contermans is having a shuttle day on the 6th July, there is always a couple of lities there with their small rigs, pull in, let him meet the youngsters and have a jol riding down. Those youngsters is also seriously fast! Start small, take him to G-spot and build confidence on his bike (seen a dad and his youngster there a while ago), dirt jumps?

Needles had a great run, out qualified Mr Min! Hopefully he can keep his 4th position in quali and repeat tomorrow.

Needles did not qualify, punctured and could not finish. :-(

Don't they put atheletes in barometric chambers to heal up?

Nope, Giant Trance 29er still in production for 2014. Love my 2013 Trance 29er but it gets clumsy on steep sharp switchbacks.

8_Mad, Majik is free to ride and it is an awesome spot.

Not sure where I read it, might have been here, but apparently (I have not tried it) if you add some glitter to the inside of the tire with the Stans it helps seal bigger holes. I think the reasoning would be that the glitter pieces block up the hole so all the Stans don't get blown out. Not sure id any particular colour of glitter works better

Thanks for sharing! Super usefull tip. You should post it in one of the bicycle mags where they have a column for such usefull tips, think Bicycling Mag used to have and usually have some nice price for the best tip. Thinking of it and looking at the Bike Brake site, a good use for those old Livestrong armbands nobody is wearing anymore.

@helenzille I know there was plans to develop the vinyards between Van Riebeeckshof and the Protea Hotel into a business/residential area and extend the road from Jip De Jager to where that Pampoenkraal dirt road comes out, dual caridge all the way up to the robot at the M13, but that was out for punlic comment a good few years back (2-3 years if I remeber correctly).

Hayley, Just want to say well done! It takes guts to go down the mainline, even with a DH bike I don't think I would make it down. Respect! PS Met your nephew on Saturday and he is very proud of you and shouted when you were coming down a practice run. He just could not understand why you don't want to do some of the jumps when you can jump over lamp posts!

Got myself the Jura Impressa F7 and is absolutely loving it! Only thing is that it makes it hard to have a coffee now at a restaurant. Also makes better coffee than 90% of "coffee shops". Sure it is not semi-automatic, but makes great coffee.

Hi, PM sent.

Guess I have to start saving for this one! Now I just wish something can happen to strengthen the Rand again so it is even remotely possible to save up the money before I can't ride a bike anymore.

Thanks V12man, I was also thinking that the smaller bean hopper might be better for our use. Beans should stay fresher. Coffee for breakfast and at supper time and a bit more over the weekend.

Hi guys, I am looking at getting a Jura machine, but not sure if it is worth paying the extra R5k for the Impressa C90 OT over the Ena Micro 9 OT. It will be for home use, 2 people and moderate use. Any opinions? Thanks!

Rodriguez not looking very happy.

See Fernando Alonso congratulated Costa.

Wonder what Rodriguez said to Costa, but sure it was not nice.

Nibs pulling hard.

I see NASA just used a 3D printer to print a rocket nozzle, imaging just printing your ceramic prockets.

They interviewed Greg on Capetalk last night and he was asked if it is worth it for him money wise to be a pro DH'er or must he suplement his income. Greg's answer was that he can make a good living and compared it to what the national cricket guys get payed, but he also said thay you can't be a pro in South Africa and that you have to be in the US or Europe to make a good living.

Do you know how much Crown charge Meezo? EDIT: Just checked their website and see it is on sale for R569! Maybe I should take a drive through!
