New addition to the Family. Lily is a 10 week old basset. First thing my son wanted to do when we got home was to read Lily a bedtime story.

We used to leave the office at 3 once every other week and ride the spruit. Now I'm scared of "insulting C&C's sport", so I guess that's over. From now on I only ride on "real trails".

I think we have the same Boss.

My wife lost her wedding ring and the claim was paid out. We found it 6 months later in the boot of her car where it had fallen into the spare wheel. Called my broker and according to her the ring is now the property of the insurance company. They have people that they sell the lost&found and damaged property to. My wife would really like to keep it as it is sentimental, even though her new ring is worth more(women??? ). Now the negotiating begins.

I made a decision a few months ago that i will take the stairs at work(3 flights) instead of taking the lift. I regret that decision this morning. I started interval training on the IDT in the mornings a few weeks back and this morning I read an old school friend(Body-Builder-Tough-Guy) post a complaint about the dreaded leg day on facebook. Thats when I came to the realisation that for cyclists, thats everyday. What are these tough guys complaining about? Don't get me wrong I completely respect the dedication and commitment these guys have, but if i see one more post on facebook about "cross-fit vs pumping iron" or "homegrown whey vs store bought supplements" I'm going to go bos. We all know you're training....we can see it...but i don't want to know that you weigh 100kg and aiming for 110kg. Rant Off Edit Spelling

I'll give you a shout when we hit it again. We usually do it early on a Saturday morning. I just started riding on monday again after a 4 month absence(Lazy-ass-syndrome) and not in any condition to hit those climbs. I'm sure I'll get there in a month or so.

You need to know someone in the estate. I have 2 family members and a few friends that own property there. Unfortunately only 1 friend also rides and I get to ride with him on the odd occasion. There was also a race there this past weekend at the Klipkoppie Fees.

Hey G Are you referring to the fence next to the Reading interchange (R59/N12W)? If so that is part of the reserve connected to the Eco-Estate and the residents of the estate have access to it. It is an awesome trail with some very tough climbs.

This really sucks. I'm going to the EP in October and was hoping to ride Baviaans. I dont think my wife will do a support trip with me.

As far as my research goes most people actually encourage you to take the kids to a bmx track with big jumps before they can jump. Just to roll over the jumps and acclimatise to the orientation of the fiets when taking off and landing. In my skateboarding days the thing that most late beginners got wrong was their centre of gravity when launching and landing. That being said...99.999% of my research was around bmx racing. We live in "Ve Souf" so the alrode track is 5 minutes away.

This is what we do too. I ride to Rietvlei and the wife takes the car. We do a lap at her pace and then I ride back and ad some miles to the session.

You're all riding with your lights on when the sun is clearly still shining.

There is a huge difference. Not buying an e-Tag is in protest to economic injustice from a corrupt government. Are you protesting against the traffic act, which in your view is an injustice to cyclists, by running red lights?

Actually it is. If the light is red stop. Nowhere in the traffic act does it say "If the light is red stop only if..."

If there is no-one around get off your bike and walk through the pedestrian crossing and get back on and ride. That is not an offense.

Don't do the 94.7 MTB race unless you don't mind standing around in the blistering sun for 2 hours because of congestion.

Sunday Afternoon 15:20-17:45

The DH also repeats sunday morning at 6:30 on SS2

People please. This is pure propaganda to get votes. They know they are not gonna get 9 "Black" players in the rugby team or 6 in the cricket team any time soon, and forcing it will result in some serious revenue losses for the country. In school sports you can see a huge rise in real black talent because kids are being exposed to sports other than soccer and athletics, but only about 5% of these talents(black, white, indian or coloured) end up as professionals because there is just way too much competition. Eventually these numbers will start filtering through to the professional teams and then we will see a balance(read "accurate representation"). Why do you think this political conversation only comes up every 4-5 years???? Lets get real. The ANC isn't dumb...arrogant, but not dumb.

I buy all my fox stuff from buycycle.co.za

This dude is making a mockery of our bowlers. Think he's just out to prove to CSA that they should've taken a closer look at him.

And it's a freaking Safa knocking the sht out of us...

Rietvlei is nice and not overly tech. If you want tech just ride your bike up the road to Thaba and do a loop and ride back to rietvlei.

I like Nike DriFit or Elite running socks, in black of course. Its thin, but comfortable and handles the sweat well. Sportcene 60 bucks
