Bad as it may sound w.r.t. the police investigation, I would still like this individual to be made aware of what the cycling community thinks of his actions. So regardless of the final outcome, let's stage something huge when a court date is set !

Just check with Crede - they stopped distributing a batch that had a funny smell (and I don't think they have started selling the deflavoured version after that again), so you may have one from a bad batch there and you may have recourse for a refund or exchange.

Heart rate spikes caused by a malfunctioning HRM or strap would usually go quite high, e.g. up to 220 or above. If your HR hits "peaks" below that and you are concerned, see a cardiologist who can do a VO2Max test and preferably one who has a cycle (since that is our sport) and not a treadmill. There are a multitude of things that could cause this, but top of my head fatigue, too low protein intake (over time) or overtraining seem to be common causes of that. Having said that, the aforementioned would often also cause a rise in the resting HR - best you see a professional !

Nope, in an oven pan in the oven, easy peasy !!! Google e.g. "roasting almonds" and you will get the temp settings, etc. Turn or stir often and keep an eye on them, they burn quickly !

Strange that some of the other threads have survived completely intact... someone know a mod that can have a squiz for us ????

I also prefer roasted and as you say there's no diffs in the content, so if you prefer the roasted taste, go for it ! (Home roasted is actually quite easy to do if you have bought a lot of raw nuts like I did at one stage )

You meant "cured", right ?

Just heard that the man will be charged in the Kuilsriver court tomorrow. That will determine the provisional court date, so that is what we need to be on the lookout for if we want to make an appearance !

Is the old thread completely lost ??? As in no possibility of recovery ? Its all a bit deurmekaar now....

Here's the article from Die Burger from this morning, which puts a slightly different spin on the "good policework" theory: Man gee hom oor in Roux-saak RAYMOND WILLEMSE STELLENBOSCH. – Dit is alles te danke aan ons vriende, nie die polisie nie! Só het Beth Roux gesê nadat ’n man hom gisteroggend in verband met die dood van haar man, dr. Koos Roux (59), aan die polisie oorgegee het. Lt.kol. André Traut, ’n provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder, het bevestig ’n 51-jarige man van Brackenfell is op ’n klag van strafbare manslag in hegtenis geneem. Dit volg nadat ’n kennis van ’n vriendin van Beth Roux die polisie aanhoudend ingelig het oor ’n beskadigde wit VW Polo Classic wat by die Georgian Palms-kompleks in Brackenfell geparkeer was. Die kompleks is sowat 3 km van waar Roux op 5 Mei in ’n tref-en-trap-ongeluk op sy fiets gesterf het. Hy en sy seun, Kobus (19), het op die Bottelary-pad fietsgery. Hulle is oorkant die Soneike-winkelsentrum van agter getref. Kobus het ligte beserings opgedoen. Stoffel Fourie en Francois Raath, vriende van Roux, het nadat die polisie die misdaadtoneel verlaat het moontlike bewysstukke, stukke van ’n voertuig met die bloed van die slagoffer, opgetel en dit aan hulle oorhandig. Die laaste leidraad wat dalk tot die inhegtenisneming gelei het, was toe Bridgette Mills die polisie verlede Saterdag oor dié beskadigde Polo gekontak het. “My dogter het my gesê van ’n motor wat in die kompleks staan en wat van voor beskadig is. Soos ek verstaan, het die polisie na ’n wit bakkie gesoek, maar my nuuskierigheid het die oorhand gekry. Die polisie het na die kompleks gekom, maar hulle is daar weg sonder om ondersoek te gaan instel. Hulle het gesê hulle soek na ’n bakkie, nie ’n motor nie.” Mills het egter aangehou totdat die polisie weer Maandag opgedaag het. “Vanoggend (gisteroggend) het ons die nuus ontvang dat hy hom oorgegee het.” Traut wou nie op dié bewerings kommentaar lewer nie en het gesê daar is op die motor beslag gelê vir verdere ondersoek. “Die man sal eers in die hof verskyn as hy aangekla word,” het hy gesê.

Roux1 - Disaster Master, thank you. The hosting company of The Hub should make you an offer for Disaster recovery Manager !!! Baie dankie !!! :thumbup:

From what I have heard there was footage obtained from the Eskom substation that captured the entire accident. Undoubtedly the GoPro footage assisted as well. I would like to put a call out at this early stage that, once a court date has been established, we organise a massive number of cyclists to be at the court on the day of this man's appearance. He should be 100% aware of the way the cycling community feels about what he did and how he acted. Even if it is just a silent protest - let's show that we have had enough of this behaviour !
