TALUS

Nobody else?

I can proudly say that I have not entered any ASG events after the time they screwed us over with timing at Sondela and then made the cyclists out as whingers. When their races comes up I pay my R40 and go cycle Suikerbosrand. No stupid registration nightmares and peace in my heart. They don't want me and I don't need them.

Last year I bought pink Breast Cancer socks for my trip to the Giro. Now I have an excuse to buy new socks for this year's trip!!

After three years I am now legal. And no one got hurt...

I have done quite a few laps there lately. I am convinced there are much less animals than before. Anything to do with the Vets Trucks that were there a lot last year?

There is a specific downhill T-junction at Suikerbosrand where I have been real life brake testing for years. No rain. No Peleton. Just my skin on the line. No way you can compare rim with discs ever.

A hint of logic filtering through...... 3 years max and you will see lots of rimbrakes in the classifieds

The calm voice of reason.

How big is the pool of regular race riders in South Africa? 50K?.Surely we can organise via a focused campaign targeted via ad type peeps a stay away for races not being cyclist friendly. I only do races where I don't have to loose working time. They don't miss me but they may miss us.

Worse is: "Look - no hands...."

You girls love to exaggerate...Foot surgery is a relatively new field of Superspecialisation but all the major cities have at least two recognised and experienced colleagues. Unfortunately waiting lists are long for the more established guys. Fee structures also vary wildly. Because of the small area with many different structures in close proximity it is easy to misdiagnose without careful examination. Beware the surgeon that does not touch you...

Damn. I forgot this overlaps with Panorama. Already committed there. I really want to take my Slate to a race that is actually friendly towards my friend.

I am in. Like the new date.

Agreed. It is his race and he makes the rules. Clearly there is a market for gravelgrinding. This protecting the rider against himself with dropbars reminds me of the no sleeveless rule...

As soon as my Slate is welcome I'm in. Until then it will have to be Panorama. Roadbike for the road, MTB for rough stuff and gravel bike for gravelgrinding. Sounds about right?

I am ashamed to admit that I actually spent many hours explaining to people how stupid this concept is /was. Clearly we should allow stupid people to proudly wear their traditional clothes without harassment.

Yster. This is my likely scenario if ever I had the guts to enter. The best I could hope for is to see how far I could get before I get pulled off. These riders are inspiring.

Hi, my name is TALUS. I have been CSA free for one year now. I feel good and can participate in all the races I choose. I continue to take it year by year.

Jeez it is what being "HANDY" is all about. Congrats

Dit gee hoop aan (regte) dikgatte reg oor die wêreld. Inspirerend. Yster.

Wow. Just frikking wow...

I ordered on Tuesday. Received my complete order this morning. Business as usual. Thx CWC.

Maybe go to the Vuelta rather?

I think he is reinventing himself. Dropped some weight last year and surprised everyone. Hoping for stronger team this year. I will be rooting for him big time. Sadly he cannot beat The Dawg and the Borgs if they are in full flight.
