  1. Who is "My Mossels" and you're a brave man asking your wife to drop you off.. Jokes aside, Great news bud, You're a champion.
  2. You can't do that, Then you going to have to change your handle and we all know you as 'Dale 😉

  4. Fini's chain broke in the final 20m or so on the bend, Would've been a very exciting sprint had it not broken.
  5. Which restaurant serves these and are they for starters or mains? I am genuinely wondering though how many guys actually never entered as an E-Bike rider and rode in the seeded bunches. In a few years' time when meeting new cycling mates, as always the guys 1st qu will be "road, MTB or Gravel?" and then hearing then when hearing them brag about their sub3 CTCT times, pretty sure the next qu will be "Ebike?"
  6. Not sure how you propose that they tackle this "issue"?? Does everyone get like a few "tokens" in their racepacks which you put in your pocket and when you stop along the route you have to scratch through your pockets to find your tokens which waste valuable time for those chasing a time who maybe just need a little boost, what if you forget your tokens in the car, No coke all the way around then. And for those who don't use the tokens at all on the road, do you then claim all your cokes at the finish? On the route you get coke or water poured in a paper cup, often the coke/water is warm and it's about 150ml, at the finish you get a can and a bottle of water which is always cold, already 2 items. Not sure how many you are wanting to take, if you would be happy with 2, the next Oom would maybe want 4 because he is thinking of his post-race brannas, where do they draw the line? I'll be honest there have been Cycle Tours I've chugged the 1st 1 as I got it and taken another 1 at the end table without any complaints from the staff, However I've never attempted to take more. Again, Where do they draw the line then to keep the, well quite obvious minority happy?
  7. I was on Suikerbossie, saw a gentleman with a 1A seeding number on a road E-Bike flying up, Not sure if it's the same guy who is on the list with a 3:15 but a possibility indeed as my mates who finished in 3:15 or so were just ahead.
  8. I'm struggling to think of how any version other than @Jewbacca is a possibility. Pedestrian gets knocked into by cyclists IN THE ROAD on a day where the road is closed specifically because there is a cycling race happening. Did she push the little button at the traffic light and the traffic light went red and the little man went green and she thought it was her right of way or she was knocked on the right hand side of the road and perhaps thought that the cyclists had to stay on the left?? I'm struggling to figure out how the cyclists taking part in the race could be to blame by anyone with common sense in your neighbourhood LOL
  9. Get them to send collection driver to "meet you" at some shopping centre, then when he responds tell him you mentioned the wrong one but you're waiting at 1 close by, They will send the driver to there. Keep this going as long as you can, I've done it, feels great afterwards knowing they're actually losing out because petrol aint cheap.
  10. I know this is sarcasm and a did giggle and appreciate this as I was going to add at the bottom "Probably the cyclists fault", The irony is though that he is wearing the lumo yellow PPA top in the video.
  11. just use some duct tape and she will be good to go, if that doesn't work, you're not using enough duct tape LOL Jokes aside, Heal up champ and strongs with the physical rehab, Mentally I don't think there are many who are as strong as you, especially in the sporting world with it being your profession and with your success you have achieved in that department, So mentally I believe you will beat this, So heal up physically champ and pretty sure we will be seeing those sick sunrise pics again very soon. All the best.
  12. Seen this numerous times riding up Llandudno, Taxi's overtaking cars on the descent toward Town on the solid double lines, even as close as Bakoven on the blind corner just before the Bootlegger, Heard screeching tyres once from someone slamming on the brakes and 10 seconds later a taxi passed us.
  13. Just seen a video, Cyclist knocked down on Vanguard Drive, Taxi on it's side on the island, another car which looks to be almost in half also on the other side of the island. Happened in peak hour, 1 of the vehicles involved must've been going REALLY fast for that kind of impact to cause so much damage to both vehicles, and driving pretty recklessly considering it was in peak hour. I'm not a betting man but if I was, My money is on the taxi being guilty. Also hope the cyclist is ok, Seemed to be laying on his back, backpack under his head, assuming to keep him comfortable, but wasn't moving in the video(Not assuming anything bad, he just didn't move in the video), another cyclist was also on scene helping out. passengers still stuck in the taxi aswell. Not a nice start to a Monday morning, or any morning for that matter.
  14. My reply was in 2021, Josh has moved abroad since yes
  15. I PM'd admin once with nothing but the name of a bike which I was looking for which had expired and the managed to send me the ad and I contacted the seller.
  16. Yeah especially "that oke" who came 33rd but also 1st at the same time LOL...
  17. Must agree, At the golf course as you drive in you obviously see the 2Mill ,3Mill and even 4 Mill cars parked in the members spots, But I've never walkeed in and felt judged at a golf course for not wearing a Titleist or Nike or Under Armour top and shorts or if they done match and aren't of the same brand, same with my shoes(Even though they're quite fancy), Nobody check as them out to make sure they're "worthy" at the course you're at be it Westlake, Steenberg, Royal Cape, Rondebosch or even Pearl Valley. Also never had anyone check out my bag and what clubs I'm using etc so they can "categorise" me, however on the contrary, Pull up to a race or coffee shop on your bike and you best not be wearing Enjoy Bibs with a Ciovita top and a no name helmet and cheap shades with standard wheels and mechanical gearing because then you're almost "not welcome" in the peloton(Not by all, But definitely by some).
  18. Saw the video of the guys in the states. Will be interesting to see them with their massive goggles on whilst making themeslves a massive target for getting robbed.
  19. Saw that, Extremely sad. Also of SA's brightest young riders with previous national honours both of the road and track, Jessie Munton was hit by a vehicle whilst on a training camp. It happened 2 weeks ago and the last update from her brother Byron was that she was still in an induced Coma (this was the start of this week if memory serves).
  20. Yeah look credit where it's due. Several mates are there and none have any complaints of the event itself, the way it's being run, the organization etc etc so kudos to them for that.
  21. LOL yeah was coming out to post todays Podium Banner, Clearly enough was said on social media for them to feel embarrassed enough to change it!! Proper waste of money then!!
  22. Well well well, what have we here. We might finally see Russia at an "Olympics" LOL
