Did you brag? You know what, I guess I did...and it was stupid of me because the rules applied to me. So, at the end of the day I looked like a to$$er to anyone around. I agree that loading from the front is bad, especially if like you said you have been waiting around for 45min and then they just come and load at their last minute. That should be marshalled better IMO...

Seeding is a funny thing (sorry, I just caught the tail end of this thread so I might be posting out of context) Seeding it seems everyone has a problem with. I did last year when I wanted to ride in an earlier group in the FastOne. Even to the point that I used a rather stupid chirp trying to assert my cycling ability! But, at the end of the day, I had to ride in the cat designated to me because I had not done an event in a few years, so they had no seeding for me. My time at that FastOne was good for the group I had started in, and again at 94.7. The seeding does actually work, because when I came to ride FastOne this year (with only the previous FastOne and 94.7 as recorded times) I was placed in VA. I was happy with this as this is the category I had been licenced to race in for 2009. Seems the seeding was spot on, coz I did not struggle to stay with the bunch and finished in the pack. As for the length of different events and training...obviously nobody will train 100km of hills if they are wanting to do a 1500m track event. And vice versa. But, be warned roadies...coz I'm an overweight trackie finishing 100km events with you no problem!! (please read that as friendly humour) Thing is, like it has been said nobody needs to prove themselves to anyone other than themselves...and this is where the seeding comes in to play. If you are meant to be in A, you'll be in A. Dont panic. If your meant to be in Z, you will be...just work at improving. I know this is a bit longwinded, but years ago before the seeding came out cycling was a bit 'hit and miss' I was on a team that entered for the Giro Del Capo, and we were declined for entry, but were allowed to ride the Argus as a consolation prize. I was happy with this, but was then informed that because I had never done an Argus before I would have to start at the back. This was unfair, because we had no seeding to validate my protests, which were that just 5months earlier had been sent to race in the World Road Championships. The seeding was based on the then WPPA seeding and they would hear nothing of my wanting to race in A. Had we had the benefit of a proper seeding then, I would have raced in the category I was supposed to. I'm a believer in the seeding of events, and like I said I'm possibly posting out of context here. Just enjoy the fact your able to compete...

Yes Trubie, the guy you are referring to is the man in question. He often rides down south with the Lido guys. You'll have seen him many times in the groups.

Come on, lets vote for the guy! Who cares about gels and shakes and the like...he's a bikey on a show and he needs our votes! Seriously cool!

screw that. life is extremes. right' date=' wrong. black, white. fat, thin. love, hate. short, tall. shimano, campy. compromise is death.[/quote'] Well said...and Campagnolo still wins everytime.

where have you been the last 16 years? Its apartheid isnt it? cant be PS anything that's like saying Shimano is crap Ok...now I'm confused. Did this okey have a cr@p? Or drop his Shimano equipped bike in the pen?

OMG

A 45 year old guy is not a kid anymore. But Im sure he's got the mental capacity of a 2 year old. Either that or he gets a kick out of pooing infront of others. Point taken, I got so caught up in this stinking mess I forgot it was a Vets rider. That in mind, I blame Rave music. It screwed the nineties up completely, and taught the guys to have no respect for anyone. Now they just pee/cr@p/OD anywhere!

what did I do? are you now the fat thread police ? http://office-humour.co.uk/content/images/2008/12/10450.jpg Looks like one of our Metro cops!! Yeah, one of the crew that sit at N@ndo's on Michelle avenue most of the day...

I get nervous cr@pping in case other people hear and laugh...this oke sheds his bibs and dumps in public?! I'd say thats bold!

I blame PlayStation for this. Before PS1/2/3PSP kids had respect for others. Now they just pee/cr@p anywhere. Not good.

I see you still have not grown any... Damn nice ride Gav....damn nice.

Yeah, come on. Spill the beans! Or is that what already happened? Your a sick puppy dude!!!

Come Trubie...share details dude...you cant keep us waiting like this.

The thing is, its disturbing. How did he wipe up? I would not want to be drafting the guy, breathing in his fumes. BARF!!! I went to the local movies and had to go use the loo before the movie...and went to a cubicle...where I discovered a very big log, which had not been flushed away! The thing that scares me is this...there was NO toilet paper in the bowl alongside the offensive log! Some guy s#@t and did not even bother to wipe up?!?! Who does this? Maybe its the same guy from the starting pen?!

I usually have to 'wait' for my power to kick in...

heeeeeeeeeey! i drive a blue subaru and it was NOT me... im only 24... not my age catagory.. and wasnt there... You honestly thought you'd avoid public humiliation by driving a Subaru?!

not too mention coming ahead of angela "real person" day's visit. and don't have a lunch bar for afters? Lunch bars!!! Remember the movie "Caddyshack?" Thats flippin hilarious... But effing gross that some oke parked a bobo on the start line...

Dont post stuff like this if you dont know all of the facts. Yes its fun to harp on it on an open forum, but at the same time its a bad idea. What if you sentence this guy to death, only to find out its absolute rubbish? You gonna come on here and apologise publicly? (not likely) Leave it be....

Mark my words, on the first actual day you get to use the Gautrain...you'll find some guy trying to sell you Sim cards/chargers/sunglasses through the window while your stopped on the tracks underground somewhere.

And TIME?

Yeah, thats fine dude.
