Argon18

I do not know who this guy is but he was traveling up and down the cradle route this morning early in his Move Insurance Caddie. All he does is stop if he sees some glass on the route, gets out and sweeps the area clean and carries one. I also passed him while he was helping some fellow cyclist with a puncture. Apparently today was not the first time he has done this. He came past me about 4 times while I was travelling towards Rhino and Lion Park. I do not know who you are dude, but thank you very much.

Did you see who finished 6th yesterday, well done : NOR 1 BOASSON HAGEN, Edvald (SKY PROCYCLING) 4:03:32 AUS 2 MATTHEWS, Michael (ORICA GREENEDGE) BEL 3 MEERSMAN, Gianni (OMEGA PHARMA - QUICK-STEP) NOR 4 HUSHOVD, Thor (BMC RACING TEAM) ITA 5 VIVIANI, Elia (CANNONDALE PRO CYCLING) RSA 6 JANSE VAN RENSBURG, Reinardt (TEAM ARGOS-SHIMANO) FRA 7 BOUHANNI, Nacer (FDJ) GER 8 VOSS, Paul (TEAM NETAPP - ENDURA) FRA 9 CHAVANEL, Sylvain (OMEGA PHARMA - QUICK-STEP)

Did a 2:45 hour ride in the cradle area here in JHB, 961m climbing in 68 km's an no hassles at all.

My new project, thinking Ultegra Di2.

Only issue was the seatpost clamp, but I got it to work. That is the only thing I found with the chinese products, the seatpost clamps are dodge.

I have also got three frames from Jerry at http://www.aliexpress.com/store/206707 Service was good and frames are great.

Just finished my FM015 build from Hong Fu Great Ride. 7.1kg as is.

Yes DAM it is possible, I just exported the route.

Send me your e-mail and I can make a plan.

PVR the upcomming TDF and transfer it to DVD, worked for me. Or you can do Interval taining sessions, then you won't get bored.

Alec, It was an pleasure! I'm sure you would have done the same.

Just did my second Cycle Tour with mine, I'm 90+ kg's and not a single problem.

I tried to take a picture, but at 4h30 not much to be seen, darkness,LOL

Please be careful in the Cradle route before the Rhino/Lion Park. We went through there this morning at around 4h30 and we had 2 punctures in the group due to black thumb tacks on the road. Not just one or two, we removed about 50 of them!!! The Berge & Dale Race is going past there on Saturday so is the Tour of South Africa!!! Whoever put the there should be jailed or worse.

I think I lost about 500km worth of rubber on the tyres because of the sudden braking in the A bunch. The route was very fast and enjoyable and the marhalling in our group was 100%.

"A" group was shocking, it's not just the C4's we caught but there where a number of guys riding with no numbers and no chips in the group, (two from Edenvale Pedlars and one with a Hills(Dog food) Shirt on. They nearly caused a crash when they pulled of to the side of the rode at one of the intersections.

I use that route a lot. The speed limit has been changed from 120 down to 100 just before you get to this section, travelling towards Krugersdorp. I believe this should indicate that it is not a highway. I believe you are allowed to cycle on this area. Just be careful of the junction at the robot. The trucks come flying down there.

I know, if you make the 2 pictures the same size, the top one wil also say "Raleigh". Must be the font the spraygun.

I have the Edge 705, <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Cadence sensor stopped working after the Fast One (Wet weather). Bought 2 more sensors @ 500 each, now another one is not working. Garmin online told me to return them. Month and a half later they recon they do not repair out of warranty sensors I have to buy a new one. My advice for those who are looking at buying Garmin, be careful, their service SUCKS!!!!!

Same here, I have traded with them a couple of times and every time it's the same, VERY GOOD service!!!

Am I the only one that was not impressed with the finish at the jock Cycle Challenge? <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Got there within the time limit for the first Bus and --- No bus and no cool drinks at all. Imagine after a 6 hour trek over the mountains and nothing except a medallion at the end. Must say that all the water points along the route were brilliant just the finish sucked. Had to catch a return lift in an Empty Coca Cola Truck!!!
