Thats funny HR!

Ok, so I'm seriously confused... I deal with loads of Afrikaaners every day, and their names just make no sense! I know names are shortened..ie, "Fanie" is short for "Stephanus" But there are some I just dont get... Frikkie? Wim/Wimpy?! Flip? Org? Koos? Tobie? Jampie? Sakkie?! Santie? Kallie? Surely these cant be names on their own? I'm just curious to know where they come from... And why is the 'Book of James' in the Bible called "Jacobus?"...Is 'James' non existent in the Afrikaans language?

Corima rock. Full stop. Where you getting those for that price? What Corima's are they?

I did see Nic Whites BH with new DA...nice!

Ray Mac should start cycling and work off his weight! I dunno how long we were stoppped waiting for those cars to cross over? Eldron, there was that white bakkie with the trailer for bikes, the white VITO, the black Dodge and a couple others that were sitting in the lane right behind the cyclists they were following. I must admit, I did think that you were gesturing for the DODGE to come through and pace! Very funny!

Hey Eldron...was a pleasure meeting/suffering with you! That was a pretty cool ride, I must admit. The one thing that bugged me...how many people in groups like M, N, Q and the like have following cars? I lost count of cars sitting following right behind their loved ones and getting in the way of all the cyclists. Its ridiculous and should not be allowed(I'm sure its not) But otherwise it was a good fun day! nicely organised, well marked and a good event. Although I am sure RHEMA south's congregation were being taught a lesson in patience!! Ha ha!!

Jules...that little lady who was helping you was rather pretty, but had a bit of an attitude! Oh well, I did promise myself not to lose my temper...and maybe I need to come down a peg or 2...so I'll start in R. My problem is that just because I did not ride it last year...despite having done a 2h32 with a puncture in 2007...I now start in R! I just feel that they should be more accomodating...I have licensed to race as a Vet, 30-34.(which they could see) So I should be entitled to race in the cat that I am licensed in. But, obviously not?! Was it just me, or did it feel like the stock in Cyclelab was a bit minimal? Its all the same uninteresting stuff?

Wierd hey?! I'm exactly the same height as LA, my saddle height (BB to top of saddle) is just 5mm lower...and I ride a 54ctt Pinarello, 12cm stem and only 1.5cm of spacers beneath my stem. LA's reasoning must work...I mean he's kicked @ss all over the world. But, in hindsight...someone should have told Sean Kelly his set up was WAY wrong!!!!

S2L...I'm having a laugh at Dash's expense here...but it went kinda like this... Saturday morning he arrives at my place, I'm scoffing down my pre ride meal...I ask him if he has eaten and he replies "No...Should I have?"...see the problem?! Dash...I'll bet that Bar One was the best tasting Bar One you have ever eaten? Even though it was from the roughest cafe this side of Lagos?!

Barf!

Hey Di CPD...make sure Dash has eaten before he rides!! He sometimes forgets!!!

OMG...I need to change my pants...

Thats an awesome looking bike dude...nice colour spec. Those are killer looking wheels as well.

I rode on LANCO with Brent...really really cool guy. Was a school mate of Malcolm Lange as well...

Thats priceless...BMW should hire him as a aero technician!

The Stig transcends superhero status... He's more Daywalker than BLADE, More JEDI than Luke, But still thinks the Matrix is something made by Hyundai... Close runners up are... The Stigs African cousin...The Stigs American cousin...and TOP GEAR STUNTMAN

I have a red Pinarello...???

Yeah...Michelle is right! Definately them pink Giants... And Cervelo...

Cervelo's are kinda camp. My opinion...

That Killers song is dodgy... Chevelle "Comfortable Liar"

Go with SRAM...its gonna be the Tour winning grouppo this year, so it will be worth more later!!!

Seether "No Jesus Christ"

How much? Holy cr@p! My car is still on motorplan, but my service detail reveals that my car is cheaper to service than your bike?! Whoa!

Nah...I dont see a problem. Some guys ride Mavic wheels with Campy...so who cares if you ride Shamals on a Shimano grouppo? However, if you do it while wearing a TuTu...then you have problems!

Take pictures of your girlfriend stripping? Or stripping the Ergo's? Some clarity needed Mud Dee...
