Really good arguments!

I hope so too . You know the drill, hang on to the bunch for dear life.

AL for me. Another day of suffering...

That all depends on how fast you go.... The elites will finish in about 2:30. The slowest riders about 6:00. I guess the mean is about 3:40.

3 broken spokes on the last 2 rides, so I need a wheel rebuilt. I am of the understanding that the skill of the wheel builder has a big effect on the strength of the finished wheel. Who do you think is the best wheel builder in Gauteng? Some recommendations I have read/heard: Nevil @ Lynden cycles Anton @ Summit cycles Spoke and spanner

Ah, I just checked, and tags don't show on the mobile view, which is what I typically use on the weekend.

You can see where the water points will be on this map: http://www.dome2dome.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/routemap.jpg

P.S. I do hope you find it.

It will probably help if you specify which car park.

Yip, they are a very good lbs. PS it's spelt Linden. :-)

I saw what you did there.

Sorry, I don't know her, but I'll look out for her at Sunday's Audax.

The section on convoys from the NATIONAL ROAD TRAFFIC ACT 93 OF 1996 with all the up to date amendments: The act is very clear on which part of it applies to "motor vehicles", "pedal cycles" and all "vehicles". As you can see, this section only applies to motor vehicles. From the definitions: So 1 motor vehicle, and 100 bicycles operated in a group does, by the acts definition, not make a convoy of motor vehicles.

That's a bit harsh, and a personal attack. Lets just leave it at wrong.

No verge, blind corner. Even if they were single file, it would be very dangerous for a motor vehicle to over take here. If there is an oncomming car around the corner, they will have to pull in, and force the bikes of the road. You know why I hate some motorists: they are so dam impatient, and think they own the road.

Eish, not cool. Please can you give us a link to the pics on facebook.

1. ) You are lying to people that look at the bike, Yes, it does no harm, but it's still lying. 2. ) It breaks trademark laws.

I assume you borrowed the helmet at the the start. Any description of what she looked like? What kit was she wearing?

Indeed, I have met a number of Complete Cyclist riders, some from thehub, and I think highly of all of them. And I've had good service from the shop. But what about the van driver?

So the Vuelta team is 66% African. Doug Ryder talks about the composition of the team in this video: play from 3:12 until 5:17 youtu.be/SF5mv_bwYVI?t=3m12s http://youtu.be/SF5mv_bwYVI?t=3m12s You can see the whole series on MTN-Qhubeka here:

Eish, when I think back to remember if I saw you, it's all just a blur. I had a Northcliff cycles jersey on, black with a wide white strip across it. Black BMC.

If you asked be before the race if I were to be dropped, where would it happen, I would have said on the hills from 28km - 32km. So I was shocked when I got dropped at 20km. Thinking about it afterwards, I was on the wind side of the bunch, which probably was the straw the broke the camels back. My bad for not picking up on the wind there. I was able to revive my pride later in the race at about 61km when the front of the BL's, who had caught us earlier, attacked in a cross wind. I managed to make it into the echelon. After the obligatory turn at the front, I looked back, and the 60 man group was whittled down to 10, with the rest of the group far back. Finished in 3:16:52. I'm disappointed in getting a 25% index, but I guess it's not to bad given the conditions.
