I have had the 305 for about 14 months and never had any problems. But if I had the problems Tankman had, I would feel the same. But I am still thinking for a 705 upgrade for Christmas.

Had my 305 for a year now and has never switched off as described. Also had some initial problems connecting to PC but once I downloaded new driver its worked everytime.

You may ride a second lap but its real tight. You need to be back before the last group leaves which is at about 9:30 If you can get off in a ealry group it will give you time to get back by 9:30. The highway needs to be opened as soon as possible so very little time is allowed after the last group.

I hate reading headlines like 'another cyclist hit' but when you know the person involved its even worse. I have known Jeff for many years and he has done a lot for cycling in SA. I really hope he and his wife recover completely - I also hope the bar*&ted is caught.

For cyclists who race nearly every weekend, the medals mean little. However for a new cyclist (say doing the Argus for the first time) that medal is worth all the weeks of training. Should races continue to handout medals or look at way to reduce costs

This fee does increase from R30 to R35 for 2010 and all this money is paid to CSA and not the organisers. Also have no idea what value I get for this????<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

If you can make it to water point one, then you will be able to make it to water point 1a - SAB world of beer in the city. Although not an official water point it will help you get to the next WP.

Now how do we et Bob and mad Malemba to enter the Epic

Think Bike make a major difference to races especially the dangerous ones. Their ability to ride ahead to make sure the next intersection is clear before the cyclists arrives make a big difference in terms of cyclist safety. Also their experience keeps growing with every race and many of the larger races are now getting TB involved.<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Its always sad to hear of a cyclist killed while riding. Condolences

I see very varied replies to your question but I have a Garmin 305 and it works very well. I however use a Polar for HR because I upload to Discovery. But the Garmin is great!!

Lance is the best ever TdF ride, this cannot even be questioned. This year Contador is very strong and will be a worthy winner. But Lance never attacked Contador once in the last 3 weeks. I really hope he gets onto the podium.<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Contador looked so strong. Lance is still in second place which is still brilliant in my book!!

Them big mountains are coming, this will still be a good tour!!!

Phil is a legend and the Tour is richer for his commentary. It?s also great that he is so pro South African riders and our big races. <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I think he is great

No the standard DSTV decoder cant be upgraded to a PVR. Different unit

I have the 6.5 and find it a great bike, the components are great and its a nice ride. I am not a serious rider but I have enjoyed this bike a lot.

The costs to ride at Northen Farm is very low - R9.00 per entry if you get a card. I agree with cat-i, people like this spoil it for those that use the farm, pay and enjoy it.

If you dont like CycleLab go where you get good service. I am happy to pay their prices because I get good service. Its not about price, is about value!!

I hate hearing about a cyclist down and even worse when you realise you know the person. If anyone has news on Steve, please let us know. I hope he is ok.

It is strange that a senior person in the ANC admitted guilt. If he followed his leader example, this would be in court for the next 5 years or more.

I think this is a great idea and it would help if there was an easy method/place to check the latest hotspots.

I had the same problem on my road bike. Tried to glue it but I think the only way is to get a replacement.

Which is the accepted 'correct' direction? There are arrows in both directions (probably from previous races). I have generaly gone anti-clockwise around the farm which seems to be the direction followed by most cyclists.

My advice is dont go on opening morning, nearly 50% of entries are collected in the first few hours. Its not as busy on Friday or Sat.
