very cool, you can even watch your own @ss with the correct camera angle

well done SL for your effort Bike Polo is a lot more fun to look at, than what it may sound! For those that are interrested - Note my photos (full album url at the bottom) in this post: https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=49131&KW=polo Fixi assit you during defensive moves

Same here with the ego , but my 39*23 hurts a bit on this Gallic country roads that go straight over the "bumps" and thinking about alternatives that dont include less Guiness Ooops, I meant 53/39, not 53/46! I used to have a 39-25 as my best spinning option, but adding just one extra tooth for a 39-26 makes a big difference. Chuck on a 27 and you don't need a compact! Seeing that you're older than me you could always go for a tripple funny bliksem

WH, what gear ratios you used? You expressed a need for compact couple of months ago?

So it wasnt her behind the door(s) with bikini that glow in the aquarium lights?

Pun accepted SVan WH, used Ryanair last week to join the queen in her celebrations (and some red lights... ) - but was thrown out of a cycle shop in Edam What a control freak owner that dont allow "self service" ie walk the around in the shop after already paid for 3 days of bike rental

Please dont believe all this Europe spring, sun, fun *** stories. - Ireland put out its best weather for my club spin yesterday - almost freezed and wet to the bone. Note to self - never EVER cycle without rain jacket here ok, today was nice, marchalled at a corner for arace that our club presented.

Bicycle polo was invented (1891) by Richard J. Mecred in Ireland, dont know if that is good or bad But anyhow, the Bicycle Polo Association of Ireland is hosting the European Championship this weekend. We went to spectate today, and it look like al lot more fun than what it may sound. -And actually less dangerous than the bats used in hurtling Spokes as thick as 5mm round bar. Rider size, err... that is bigger, does matter in this game, so mountain goats, keep away for once Some pics: You'r not allowed on the field if you dont demonstrate the skills: Tradisional horse: Modern horse: Hold your horses: Knights, start the game - attack: The combat: (The Irish in Lance blue vs the French) The french team is build around one oke, he can pick up the ball at full speed and keep it bounching on his bat while doding all the defenders, pretty impressive... Here he is hiding the ball with his body, while bounching it: more reading: http://irishbicyclepolo.wordpress.com/ More pics of the actual bikes and components: http://picasaweb.google.com/gert.conradie/20090424_PhoenixParkPolo?authkey=Gv1sRgCOaGm4C56OH0fw# straatvark2009-04-25 17:21:43

Now that is the perfect tea party intro...

I agree. Do a good handshake 500m out - and then start sprinting WITHOUT leadout each other.

Nice pics Ronelle!

Thanks Splat, I'm in Dublin for a 2+ year period, so I should be removed from the list.

JB, maybe start a thread specific for the course dates, which you bump at specific "days to go" periods, for example a month & 2 weeks before the course. To everyone struggling with the quality of wheels build for them - I can strongly recommend the wheel building course. It save exreme frustration and is worth every cent with return on peace of mind!

Thanks for the pics R&R! Silverboy - would some of the footage be available on the web as well?

Ok in daai geval, vier ek die lente sjaam met jou, maar ek bly patrioties skerp Hier is nie blomme nie. Ek gaan vir my 'n klawer blaar soek...

Anyone can help me with this please: I'm looking at the Garmin 265W or TomTom Go 730, but would like to confirm this: 1) I can NOT record routes and NOT store them to PC on these models? 2) Is it possible to retrieve the current GPS coordinates via Bluetooth from another device? 3) If the device is not visible, could i listen to voice commands vie Bluetooth headset? I would realy appreciate comments, or recommendations to other models/devices

Im so glad to see this! (ok and a bit sad Ronelle... )

You might of heard of my great grandfather harry wolhuter?killed a lion with a knife after it attacked him in kruger[/quote'] ok, now that i know your name, i will watch your results matie!
