  1. Support cars frustrate me. Joe Average with someone driving behind causing even more mayhem for vehicles also using the road. I had to overtake a car following some guy who was slooooooow. I am in middle of road cos they cant drive properly in the yellow lane (in the Cradle cycling area ). Drive the car normally and shuttle up and down the road if you must. Or like a saw for the Slovakians training for Ironman, drive 4 km's up the road and wait for them to reach you. Or, sit at the top of a downhill and wait till last rider is out of site, then drive up to them again and park and wait. Or Or
  2. Exactly the same thing happened to me (also old....). Will look at resting for 4 days and see what happens as indicated above. Tx
  3. Car guards are offering special deals on watching you car for only R50....

    A Batch pen actually looks quite large compared to B to E, perhaps they are 200 to 250 each. "F" batch stands for = "F" up

    Looked at the layout for the start groups on the web site. A, B, C, D and E are small. F and G are like twice the size of A to E together. Not keen on that congestion and argy bargy, Scroll down a bit to see the pics. http://www.cycletour...start-line-101/

    10 flyers for products with tenuous links to the Argus race or cycling in general. (Estate Agents etc)
  8. Nah, just some pepper spray. I can refer you to a video if you like...... Also need a new smiley of someone holding their halo behind their back....
  9. What has been posted on Facebook, stays on Facebook (somewhere in a little corner of their data servers). Its like VD in Vegas, that sh#t stays with you.....
  10. Cyclists are chops. Had a pack of 5 or 6 overtake me (Pink club jerseys) on the climb from the chicken farm up to the bridge over the N14 on the road between Fourways to the Cradle. Elandsdrift Rd i think. The leader was fast and i have no problem being overtaken. My problem is they did it 3 abreast, incl one guy pushing his chick on her Tri bike cos she could not keep up with the pace. Then there were the bigger chop clingons at the back from Cycle lab looking for the free pull. They took up the whole road on a blind corner where ALL cars and bikes gun it, huge shouts from someone behind me shouting CARS. She was a bit "concerned" as a car was coming. Do it single file and dont be a dumb ass when you do it. Rant off.
  11. A Beast is "Reborn". Nice one. Welcome to the club. Waiting for Cliff to let me know what is happening to my replacement frame. Minor issue which they are assisting in fixing. Still think the brushed Alu frame looks the best.
  12. Wanna drop to F batch and tow a few pathetic wannabe's along?

    Us poor suckers in Joburg cant see the billboard. Maybe it needs to be bigger.

    Yup, kinda my feeling as well. I found that their times are based on a zero wind situation performed by someone a Suzuki 500, not an actual cyclist. But this being my second Argus i should be able to do a couple of checks on the calculator

    Split time calculator is on the pull down menu on web
  20. Only reason i would dislike this is because they are a pair of steeyupids, just like the off camera person. I will just keep on trying my best to obey the road rules and also not get dead on the roads.
  21. Entries re opened and Team Dusty Bottoms have signed up.......
  22. Watch out for thorns and punctures. Two smallish hills on the track. They are cutting more single track through the bush which is a really good move by them. Nice track on the whole.

    From my seeding, they used both the road and mountain interchangeably and treated them both as one list in the Road and MTB seedings..... go figure.
  24. Far Canal... Now that is a bike i can fall off in real style. Not just legs anymore, now its legs and my neck getting stuck in the spokes...
  25. I am a billionaire.... I am 204 cm When are the 36er's coming out???
