Today, one of the Tour d'Afrique vehicles lost it's brakes and crashed. Both drivers survived. All bicycles in the van were destroyed. So, Cape Town -- 15 Tour d'Afrique riders are in need of bikes, to make it to the finish in Cape Town on Saturday. Also, we need someone to deliver such borrowed bikes to Elands Bay by tonight, so those cyclists could ride in the morning. Big task - any ideas, suggestions?? Feel free to contact Lynn on cell # 072 011 8652 www.tourdafrique.com | www.bigride.co.za

Shout on email ride@bigride.co.za if you're able to volunteer to help Friday afternoon at the Eco Park, and then again Sat morning till around 1500 - we need a few more faces, since no-one is quite sure how many people to expect. Tasks are simple, such as erecting / hanging branding, manage the bikepark area, and riding along as roaming 'marshalls.'

Metrorail in Cape Town are permitting bicycles on the trains, first time in eons, this coming Saturday, in celebration of the Big Ride In Cape Town - we'll continue pressing them for a more permanent plan. CL www.ridelife.co.za

Thanks Sir K, the only TdB volunteer off the Hub, and you did work hard. Deserved that spot on the final day!

Einde vd jaar....PM my as jy meer wil weet....

Hi, no, I am not on the inside anymore.....one thing that is a definite is that you won;t get your license, no matter how you ordered it, if you do not pay CGC their R75 towards their executives' remuneration packages..... If, however, you're not in Jozi, the crime capital of Africa, you should get your lic without too much of a fuss. (Always see CSA as a slow-moving government-mentality-agency, then it is much easier to deal with.) Carinus - enjoying it on the "outside" for a bit.

No, don't think so. Anyone tried this?

Boet, which u23 rider is close to your heart?

They know it will take a generation to close the gap, from where we are now, from 5-7% down to 1% (which is where one start enjoying a bit of luck, coupled with hi-level results.) CL

They were all on the juice programmes, if I remember correctly? Perhaps today's okes aren't?

Boet, thanks for your positive change in general attitude...it's refreshing to see someone attempting to live up to what he stands for. Carinus

How to determine that brutal fact - I can think of 8-10 riders who are better than him, but have no way to prove that attestation. Why, for a grootbek sore loser to be a role model? Again, how does one measure that fact? Such as yourself? How to measure that fact? CL ps: as you can clearly see, I was a bit bored today....

Julle manne maak ons lekker lag....changing the topic to CWGames...

Ok, the Saint wins....shall we edit this topic a bit for Common Poor Games instead??

Just heard RH is not racing, so we can delete this poll.

Oh, and a lekker way to judge how much hubbers know of cycling...(incl myself of course)

Bad blood....too old for athlete-envy, all the other riders are, however, brilliant athletes. Fact is, I love to draw him out....so a bit of a weakness on my side CL

Given Robbie Hunter's poor track record, and his propensity to complain, how many kms would he survive at the CMG in India, and what kind of excuse would he use for whatever happens? Not critising his early-season results each year, neither the TdF stage win against Spartacus, and any other result I can not remember at present. Oh, and the money, Rob, show me da money!
