Rider Rob

Go watch a race 9real of on TV) and then enter one, best way to learn. Go to TSA (http://www.triathlonsa.co.za/) for race dates. Go minimal for the 1st few and dont get caught up in all the hype about kit and stuff to start with. Find a GOOD shop that knows what they are doing and dont just want your money.Use the WEB to find LOTS of info. Then just DO IT and have fun.

580 odd. http://www.timeslive.co.za/local/article314585.ece They need your pic's though

Hey BG, Bulgaria....... i'm in. When you going to put a tour together?

Ditto and level 5 is tough for me. Anyone know how to get over the boxes?

Correction. I should look at my mail before the HUB in future! Droo has been it contact.

Except Droo has not contacted me! May he's sorted, if not here is my e-mail again. rermes@cellc.co.za

Hi Droo, Can I help? My mail address is rermes@cellc.co.za. Let me have any details and I'll get your problem sorted. Rgds Rob Ermes.

Lance is going to whip ass and do it clean. GO LANCE! Oh and yes, it has nothing to do with money for cancer

If you go 'soft' then Commencial have specials at the moment. Mate and I both bought last month and did Trans B over the weekend. What a ride!

Its not cold in PE at present (clouds = warmer temps) so I dont believe the -5c but then again it is the Karoo. Leaveing at 2pm to see for myself!

Same GREAT service for me. Sent my (very old, 10+ years) unit in when it started letting water in after gathering dust for a couple of years. A week later on a trip to JHB I collect a NEW (referbed I think as the model was out of production) unit FOC! VERY BIG UP Polar. I have upgraded since and will NEVER use a.n. other!

Hey rider rob glad to see you over the flu and riding after all. I think the pasta evening is at the registration. Not over it yet and its 50/50 at the moment. Going to come through anyway and make a decision on Friday. Need to have an option for my team mate.

Where is the pasta evening and what time? We will be a few k's out of town, but if time alows, might make it.

Bike in the lounge!? I think the bedroom would be better

Whats the name of your shop MintSauce?! A NEW bike is the way to go. Ride what you have until you have the moola to buy what you want. Upgrade will take time and when you have finished, all you want is the new, new stuff!

I'm told (not sure its true) that 1kg bike weight = 5kg around the tummy! Light is GOOD. Ialmost bought the Silverback but it was a few K over my budget. Commencial 4.1 for me!

Was in the same boat over the last month. Ended up with a Commencial and they have BIG discounts at the moment. Is Bike of the Year in UK. Go look at some stuff under Chit Chat, Commencial vs Orbea.

how do you see where your going with your behind 6ft above your head?
