Yes, but if the entry fee is anything like it was for the Kayalitsha one in Cape Town, I can't blame the guys. R200 entry for a 45min crit!

You have no idea how glad I am to be out of those blue shorts...they were terrible!!!

pererace70: no-one said anything about suffering... for me is a genetic fact...due to me being built like a brick sh*thouse, I will just never ever be able to climb with the likes of Dave Garret on the front of Ou Kaapse (unless I give our mate Chunky a phonecall).. Even Chris Willemse Snr. jokingly said "jy is 'n groot stuk vleis".. I love suffering in a race where I'm competitive. I love getting up at 5am in the morning in winter, and commuting to work in the rain dressed in 4 layers of clothing, knowing the spring season suits me. This season, with "the wall" in the beginning of the race eliminates a lot of riders. Also, everyone talks about "getting back to the front group"...If I have Geddan there, there is no way I'm chasing, and no-one from the teams with riders up the road will chase, eliminating quite a bit of firepower from the chase group... Make sense??

We'll see what the man requires .. He better just be in the front bunch over the climb, so I can watch other people chase If I feel anything like I did this morning, I'm going to be lucky to be at 3w/kg on Sunday.. Just couldn't get going!

Have had 135gr SLR, loved it, then had the 125gr SLR Carbonio, loved it (wish I could afford another one), now have SLP XP, love it... Each to his own

Actually, try Q10, NOT Q20...I once mistakenly bought Q10 (thinking it's Q20)...I could be mistaken, but Q20 is a moisture repellent (we used it on the rifles during my national service). My 2c

I'm fighting a Radeon card thats dying...comes from having a Radeon and Nvidia card in one machine (and running 2 x 19" and 1 x 17" monitors)

Marco: you saying that about 101% is like the pot calling the kettle black

Happy Happy Beeee! Hope your cousins don't fly in to my helmet again this year

bruce: Did you have one of your @'s chopped off as well?

Fox! There's a reason they're R300 a set! Best gloves I ever owned. My current RavX's are 6months old and on the way to retirement...

No, 2713 people received at least one replacement bike during the year

I'm not either...but then I knew that already

TitusTi: and according to Tiger Woods, gholf is just a reason for white folks to dress like black pimps

Maybe TitusTi can tell us the tale of how he was 'educating' a Liberty Rider in the group by grabbing him by the helmet and saying choice words to him. Come TitusTi...tell us the story

...apart from powering away from the skinny buggers in a rainy and windy flat course with lots of guttering

I read about people complaining about 'Silver Ball' as a 'climb' on the H2H race, and then think about the joys of having to do Smits, Slang Kop, Red Hill, Ou Kaapse (from both sides) etc etc during the next few races...can anyone blame me for rather flying up for H2H???

nellie: you're next!

Yeah...look at what happened to poor Cashandra. She was looking for training group in Cape Town and ended up riding with fatty and SARA and Donkey and CVANC...she'll require months of therapy to recover

You pouring out your soul here young man? No not quite...I am thinking of New Port and coffee instead of this 'hell with fleurecent lighting'...

TitusTi: in my wildest dreams

She...*cough* PURRING TUMMY!! should have given it away

TitusTi: which elite? with a jean pant and a purrrring tummy?
