Check what results they used here: results.racetec.co.za/findme.aspx?ss=1 (Ignore the ppa branding, it's a lie.)

Race numbers have been sent. AL for me.

Spiting hairs - is that like worrying about the difference between a Pinarello and a chinarello? (I'm just joking. No need to get in a huff)

The article on "Sense" in Wikipedia is about the physiological capacities of organisms that provide data for perception, e.g. for humans, sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. It's very interesting. But what is the connection between it and what you are talking about???

Interesting read on cities, cars, public transport, and self propelled transport (walking and cycling:) www.theguardian.com/society/2013/nov/01/secrets-worlds-happiest-cities-commute-property-prices I wish we could somehow bring this into the political conscience.

If this is happening, I'm sure that something is wrong. For this to happen, the distance between the two cones is decreasing when you tighten the skewer. Are you sure the axel is in one piece? What model of hub/wheel is this?

My 2c from a mtb noob: what he did is wrong, but I think the punishment is too hash. 10min would be appropriate imo.

I would recommend Linden cycles https://plus.google.com/117098065384127837185/

You must feel like a proper chop for mistaking a woman for an oke!

Workshops have a booking system for a reason. If the workshop staff have to drop what they doing for everyone who wants something done while they wait cause it will just take a minute, then the speed and quality of their work will take a serious knock. Out of interest, what type of BB is it? The old cup and cone BBs that I have worked on have hex heads, so you just need a std ring flat spanner of the correct size, of if worst comes to worst, a shifting spanner.

What browser are you using? I know it does not work in IE versions older than 10. Try using Firefox.

When will the surprise be reviled?

So I tried sanding a bit more of the treads away. This did not help. Went back to the shop. Got a pair of Shamino PD-M520. Much better. Chalk and cheese. In other words, the Ryder pedals are just really crap.

TITS? The results on Google search are enjoyable viewing, but not really helping me out.

There was also a tree down over the line on the side of the Delta Park school field.

In another thread, someone queried what I said about Vets and racing license. So I went and read the CSA rules. The following is quoted from this document: www.cyclingsa.com/App_Resources/Uploads/FILE00003111.pdf CYCLING SOUTH AFRICA RULES AND REGULATIONS Part 3: Road Cycling. In this matter, there are different rules for different categories of race: This seems a bit inconsistent to me. Why would one need a racing licence for provincial classics, and regional events, but not for national classics. It's maybe worth somebody clarifying this with CSA.

No That was my hearsay understanding of the CSA rules. Now that you queried what I said, I decided to actually go read the rules. The following is quoted from this document: www.cyclingsa.com/App_Resources/Uploads/FILE00003111.pdf CYCLING SOUTH AFRICA RULES AND REGULATIONS Part 3: Road Cycling. In this matter, there are different rules for different categories of race: This seems a bit inconsistent to me. Why would one need a racing licence for provincial classics, and regional events, but not for National Classics. It's maybe worth clarifying this with CSA. Anyway, according to the CSA event calendar, Wilro is a grade C event, and so following the `letter of the law`, a racing license is required. Whether this is actually followed in practice, I don't know. I've never raced in vets (my goal for this year is to get quick enough to race VA next year.)

You need a CSA racing license, and a seeding index lower than 20.

I'll make a video + map + profile like I did for the Argus tonight.. Edit: Yhea. A scan of a photocopy of a 5 year old copy of a flyer in 2014 is piss poor. The route is the same as last year. Here is a basic map: https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=210392285426069616757.0004da7e9c0713112073b&msa=0

You never know where life takes you. Who knows. Circumstances might change, and you might get to ride the Argus again. However, I'm glad you got to ride this year.

Or a boat....

I froze my ass off waiting at the start. They need to organize better weather at the start for next year.

Yip, silly of me to buy the cheep stuff. Ends up costing more in the long run....
