    Argus 2014

    I really hope so... i would hate to ride an alternative route on my first Argus...
  8. Will this be aired anywhere?
  9. The powertap also have batteries. In most cases you would need a special tool to open the thing up.
  10. So how's about another YAWWWWWWWWN there.... did it work?
  11. It is also contagious to yawn... you see one person do it... so will you... Just reading about it here had me going about 3 times
  12. Get the Cyclist Guide at Sportmans Warehouse... The book costs R180 and it gives you all the info on all (or at least 98%) of both MTB & Road races.
  13. There are pretty much 3 tiers of membership involved in the whole racing licence thing... 1. CSA (membership fee applies) 2. Provincial, such as CG (Central Gauteng) cycling (membership applies) 3. Club fees (whatever your annual club fees are) And then it's still R350 for your licence itself. The whole thing is R500 per annum
  14. I'm in the market myself for some carbon wheels and have my eyes on the 38mm Dark Horse wheels. I hate riding in the wind at the best of times, so those ones should be perfect for me. I borrowed a set of 50mm some while back from a friend, and although the ride wasn't all bad... i could still feel the wheels drifting in the wind... I'll be much more comfortable on the 38's
  15. Very good initiative. I'll be sure to contribute as things become available on my side!
  16. Oh yeah!! Finally I was starting to loose all hope in this shop, but glad it opened up. Would have liked to be informed of the opening weekend, but rather late than never Thanx for the info Wez-O
  17. This must probably be one of the most descriptive stories I've ever read... Well done! You should be writing novels or something Thanks for a very entertaining read
  18. Thank you
  19. My biggest dream was to ride with my dad and we still said that the 94.7 this year was the year that we would ride together. Also just to mention i'm a guy. He was a cycist his whole life and extremely fit, however he had a heart attack a few years back and had to go for a heart bypass. This of course scared him from getting back onto the bike and he started keeping himself busy with other hobbies and stuff but slowly got back into cycling... this is when i said i'd ride with him (never having cycled before myself) so i started cycling towards the end of last year. He sadly passed away last year November, but i kept on cycling and started doing well.... and still rode the 94.7 in memory of him. I managed to come in at 2h:28m. The picture shows my kit that i had made for the day... this will now be framed. Hayleyearth I'm interested to know what your dad's name is as my dad was also very involved in road and track racing around the 70's/80's
  20. I wish i could be offered all kinds of team packages... would be awesome to ride in a team rather than taking on each race as a solo guy I'm more than willing to share some race results
  21. Ons moet bietjie 'n biertjie se nek om draai na die race as jy gaan rond hang
  22. Actually yes... strange as that sound.... 2 on the bike.... 2 in the team car
  23. Ola boys... Just to let you guys know, I managed to source some carbon wheels from a generous friend of mine
  24. How is it then that one will work and another didn't? I also ride with my canister of direct stream pepper spray, but thankfully never had to use it yet. I did pull it out once for an agro taxi driver than opened his door with a srew driver in the hand... but he got back in the taxi an spat off when he saw i had something in my hand. I've read somewhere on the hub about this direct stream one and how affective it is, hence i got one
