  1. Anyone from the Randburg area want to share lifts?
  2. Route profile: Track statistics: Distance: 109.5 km Elevation gain: 645.4 m Elevation loss: -645.4 m I'm also worried about the bump in the middle give my current lack of fitness. Other race profiles on the same scale:
  3. I think I have found the correct start: https://www.google.com/maps?saddr=R101&daddr=R567+to:R101&hl=en&ll=-25.249664,28.414421&spn=0.257422,0.445976&sll=-25.250441,28.374081&sspn=0.12871,0.222988&geocode=FULYff4dqJ-vAQ%3BFaSiff4dkvmzAQ%3BFULYff4dqJ-vAQ&mra=mrv&t=m&z=12
  4. I tried to plot out the route on gmaps. I get 133km??? https://www.google.com/maps?saddr=Ou+Warmbadpad+Rd%2FR101&daddr=-25.256595,28.2912279+to:R567+to:-25.246267,28.2921037+to:Old+Warmbaths+Rd%2FR101&hl=en&sll=-25.406958,28.286963&sspn=0.016068,0.027874&geocode=FU9LfP4dfI2vAQ%3BFW2dfv4dm7CvASmdvr_hjr2_HjFKzrzj4-UbFw%3BFaSiff4dkvmzAQ%3BFcXFfv4dB7SvASmdvr_hjr2_HjFLzrzj4-UbFw%3BFVxLfP4dIo6vAQ&mra=dme&mrsp=4&sz=16&via=1,3&t=m&z=16 It seems my start location is different to the pdf. Can any one point out the exact start location on gmaps, or anyone have a gpx/kml from last year?
  5. possible match: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/112043-stolen-colnago-giant/
  6. What's up with Thomas Voeckler? Any reasons for his lack of performance?
  7. For those in the dark like me: http://www.bikemojo.com/speak/showthread.php?t=38960
  8. I think you only have to do official team registrations if you want to start in the pro/elite group.
  9. On that point, can anyone recommend a good red tail light. I would like to upgrade mine.
  10. I agree. I have a bright light, so I make sure that it is pointing at the road. I also cover it will my hand when approaching pedestrians.
  11. So his talk is about 'What is the true price of winning at all costs?' and talk about 'The power of truth'. I also agree that he does not deserve a cent, but I think that there is much to be learnt from what he has to say. For this reason, I downloaded a copy of the book.
  12. I do agree with what you are saying. And I do need to explain my position better. I'm going to have to do that tonight - work deadlines :-(. No debating on thehub for me today.
  13. Some older pics of the F-Dawg: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.514276948628477.1073741825.387866654602841&type=3
  14. There and the Netherlands. I love watching videos from this channel: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC67YlPrRvsO117gFDM7UePg . Maybe I can emigrate there one day.
  15. Yhea, finally someone who is trying to contribute to the discussion in a meaning full way. Now this site that I keep linking to, cyclehelmets.org, (that clearly nobody visits,) has on it a comprehensive list of scientific published & reviewed papers, as well as meta analysis on the papers. The paper you link to is on there, and guess what, I had previously read most of the paper. So on that paper there have been a number of peer published criticisms which are relevant: Now how do I know that no body has clicked on any of the links I have provided: One of the pages I linked to has this: Had any of you click on that link, I would have received a firing of quotes, but yet the only person who has posted anything at the time I started writing this post, the only person to have posted anything of the sort was beertjie. I'm hoping you guys will go do some reading and then we can have a proper debate, and lose the need to post all the personal attacks.
  16. I call this blind faith:
  17. I actually don't think I've totally made up my mind about this. (Which explains why I send so much time reading dry scientific papers on the topic.) Yet no one (except me) has posted anything supporting helmet use other than blind faith, advertising campaigns, and anecdotal evidence.
  18. All this blind faith being posted just reminds me of the religious people on the atheist thread.
  19. If the helmet split open, it did not help. Please read http://www.cyclehelmets.org/1209.html.
  20. Please note, that is not my reason.
  21. Yhea, I was going to ignore it, until you started lecturing me about etiquette. Then I lost it.
  22. I do agree with this.
  23. Not sure I understand what you are saying.
