Lucky Luke.

Is Silvermine West already open / opening this month? It's not clear from this extremely vague statement.

Now I know why I haven't bothered with the level of debate on this site for 2 years.

You cannot be serious

By way of contrast, I submit to you the example of one Pieter Calitz - ex-tennis pro, now coaching for a living. Pete cycles as a secondary sport, drinks a lot of beer, but can still out climb pretty much everybody in Cat 2, and keep up with the elite bunch as well when necessary. This year he gave half ironman a bash, just for a hoot, having never done any competitive swimming and just one half marathon and just missed the podium with 4th in his age group, 58th overall in an international field of about 2500.

Who are we talking about? Anything else is off topic.

Are you still forced to walk up the stairs and hunt for an exit, or can you grab your entry and GTFO the front door if you want?

Are food sales still policed by Pick n' Pay? ie. no food for sale if it's not Pn'P food.

Does the expo have a bike park yet? Might be an idea if not - parking seems like a stupid problem to have.

Anyone know when WP Champs is this year? Presumably in the next month, but there seems to be zero info online as to the dates. Just trying to plan my life here and the wife is demanding I let her know in advance, but clearly the organisers don't agree that we should get any kind of prior warning about this - usually under-subscribed - event (I wonder why no-one comes?).

I'm holding out for the BMW range. Then when I ride like a **** at least I'll be sitting on top of the right bike for the job.

We asked JP to let you guys go, and at first Aurecon let it stretch out, but I think he realised he needed the points. Having done the maths myself he did the right thing as it looks to me like Andrew Payne is still winning this thing by 4 points.

We just trimmed the bunch down trying to make life easier for our GC guy. We were not keen for a big bunch sprint down that narrow road. I put it in the gutter, then when I came off the front Moolies attacked and a small group of us rode an echelon off the front. About 10 to 15 guys came across to us after that.

Sorry about that! it was a bit more than 50. I think I was around 8,9 or 10th in the end.

I thought it was a great race. Smashed the **** out of it and it felt grand. The weather was lovely and sunny with a gentle breeze. Did not notice or care where the PPA mats were - which was lucky as it seems to have ruined some people's day.

Yes, I'm aware of this - I thought my last post made this clear - I don't eat much grains or wheat. Yes, I'm aware of this too, which is the reason I put the blame on corporatisation of food, how it's processed, packaged and marketed. I don't eat big brand muesli for exactly these reasons. I did say sugar and wheat free muesli in my previous post. based on your post, it sounds like I'm already doing it, without having read any books on the subject Ok, fair enough
