  1. Congrats to hof27. He popped his cherry and promptly podiumed!! Welcome to the clan. Remember the tubeless conversion...
  2. Chatted to a few of your members on route today. Nice guys. Will try to join you one Thursday. I was the Ninja in long black clothes.
  3. I am really angry. Angry that I have never done this one before! It is GREAT! Very well organised VERY well marked Lots of game (including wild boar ala Obelix) Mix of surfaces (possibly a bit much powdered sand) Some really sharp climbs (not long though) Single lap A must do! The cherry on top is the fact that I am now going to be super fast. I met Vinnydabutcher and James. These guys know a thing or two about racefuel. I had a long chat (and a beer) and they are passionate and knowledgeable. Using their stuff now and expecting to fly. All and all a great day out and a great alternative to the crowds at "the other race".
  4. Froome has been very carefull NOT to be aligned with SAF too much. His team's support base is UK. It worked well - I feel less and less as if he represents me. Having your girlfriend fight your fights in public is certainly not my or my mates' style.
  5. Obviously I dont know either of these guys. All my perceptions are formed by the press but surely they have an input themselves. Based on that very limited basis I found myself slightly warming to Brad and at the same time thinking Chris is whinging a tad much. The net result is I just see them as an UK team with no real emotional bond. For this tour: OGE as a team and Alberto as a rider for my vote. And that is what PR does for you....
  6. Thx Barhugger. 9y old 1, nutty neurosurgeon 0 !
  7. If you are a serious cyclist your Ertjies will be rubbed smooth by your saddle. Waxing blah-blah-blah
  8. It is at xdirt dot co.za, but you can register on the morning. It will be COLD. Check it out. Think about it (you will be waiting for me for a while) and PM if you are keen.
  9. He-he , it is the name of the venue. It is a Sat morning race.
  10. @hof27 : I am going to the Blue Moonlight Race on Sat from Rietonale. I can take an extra bike. They have shorter routes too. I will be doing the long one and will be out on track for a while but you are welcome to join if you like.
  11. Great thread. Thx.
  12. I have just had confirmation about the route. One technical descent. Will be cold but I think I will give the masses at Red Barn a miss.
  13. Surely you could recover the Landrover by following the oilslick?
  14. If not you can contact Nick from Hollard. He loves hearing from Hubbers.
  15. Jay. I will try to enter the realm of e-gaming
  16. Did you say WALK on the Hub???
  17. I dont know what is left of the kitty. I have a thing about drinking and driving (and helmets) - can we add a driver for the evening so that Francois can have a glass or two of wine. If you guys know how to book those Buddies/Drivers I will pick up the tab/shortfall. Please PM me when the date and time is set. Also I have never booked it before so guidance will nice. Edit: Sorry eddy - I did not read properly! Great idea. Will happily chip in.
  18. The Condor vs Contador. I like
  19. Now this is funny. Lekker man
  20. 3:08 from C? Hell your seeding needs adjustment!! Well done!!!
  21. I found it at xdirt.co.za (I dont know how to post a link - sorry)
  22. Any Hubbers done this before? Is it still on?
  23. Jip. Expecting Pro standards when you are cruising along at 25km/h. Still quite can not work out what the kids have to do with this.
