Dont know how to post the links, but i really enjoy Hallelujah from Loenard Cohen and then the remake by Jeff Buckley

In the norff, sorry. But i could make a plan to heard down South on a Sat no problemo. Not for next week. Will PM to co-ordinate. Like the way the options are going, looks awesome.

I think 1 x shirt is required. Sign me up. If possible i would like to see the cut. Sometimes Xl and XXL are built for really small people, and not me. Caucasian is too d@mn tall. PM when you get final final final colour options....

Aaaah, i missed this thread. Can i ask what the difference is between a fake and a grey fake (again.....)???? Please......?. I miss all the chirps and punch bags.

I get the aspect of bragging rights. That is seen in how the Epic has progressed, both in stature and the obligatory entry fee rocketing each year. It is also clear that the average Epic Rider is just doing it to say he did it. Joe Shmo has 0.002% chance of winning, unless they are a Pro with plenty of training opportunities. The Munga is a new race, unproven in logistics, sponsorship, routes, profile, fun, challenge, stature, entries, HUB support , etc etc. The prize money is currently disproportionate. The entry fee as well. As has been mentioned in the thread earlier, the average Hubbers get the challenge aspect etc, i just don't get the manner in which the race has been promoted in a "blazing glory" manner into the MTB race program, or how the business model will work in the long run. I would love to do the race, but there are other races that i can compete in for a lot less of the cost and still have a similar experience. As for the bragging rights, to my mind a lot of "bragging rights" are just an ego trip. It all depends on how you want to boast. Edit : minor details and format

Will the teams that won free entries get a full refund? 1) Full refund in $ for actual entry cost = $ many 2) Full refund equivalent to the amount they gave the organizers... = $0

Only if you live in Bloem

Had a similar incident regarding our Blue Light brigade if i remember correctly. Motor bike incident, but still close enough. Seems South Africa is on a par with first world countries after all.

Yip, it could be two Pyga's.........

Now THIS is a bike with a seat post tube extension i can RESPECT. A 9 ft 3' rider would love it. Need a similar tube for the handlebars.

Damn that Pyga is sexy from the back in your top pic... not so sure about the rider though.

'smeee. The WILD wife with a Momsen that does 60 kph downhill in the dark (without lights tooo!!!) Haha. there was someone else that was emotional. not you, would have noticed you guys, and helped with the lights if you had chirped me again......... I did not even notice that i passed you. The pard mentioned that we passed you and you came in just behind us. Note to self: be nicer to people who look like they need lights....

You must have been just behind me as well. Glad my lights lasted. Was behind some guys with virtually no lights. They let me past. Dont know why, they should have stayed in the light...... Well i would have anyway if i was in their position....

Not sure how many riders we ere eventually. 6 or 7 as i heard other voices behind me. Think there were a couple of groups stopped on the single track. One bunch of two riders and one of three. Clipped someones handlebars as i went past. Too tired to keep balance and wide handlebars too. Sorreeee if if was you. There were some sore and grumpy people as well on that section (apart from my partner). One lady had an emotional outburst at her mate who stopped just before i passed you.

Good job matchstix. Came in at 3:15 and feeling sore. Pard was not happy from 70 ks in. Had to pace and focus on finishing. Beautiful parts of the kloof i must say. Bit frustrated that i did not see MAC during the day. Would have been nice to *** myself looking at that accent. However really cool looking at the lights at the top when you at the bottom. Also never been called a gazelle before, but thank for the compliments. The bike, she likes these compliments. Will be back, but not next yr.

fixed

have you checked the distance of the gpx file? I am getting probalimsss.....Have you been able to open the track on the Garmin PC software to see if its correct?

Ja... Not so sure about that anymore. Just did the Tracks for Africa download of the 2014 TB onto my Bryton..... and Its 738.10 km. Seems i have to go back to the start and re-ride the race 3 times or something....... Might not make that 8pm Sat night beers appointment hey....

Where does all this cycling i have been told about happen? All i see is turning, eating, drinking and checking in. This ride is gonna be E A S Y.

Has anyone else tried to book a massage at Chckpt 5. They did not bother replying to my mail so i had to phone. Then i was asked what time i want to book the massage for.......

AwesomeJust so i know its you, please confirm that its you in the 37th row 42nd from the left. http://www.rwc2007.irb.com/mm/Photo/Tournament/0/pienaar-600_1101_SQ_MEDIUM.jpg

Naas, can i get your autograph?

As much as i think the situation is a complete stuff up. I am not 100% on the ball either on my actions. I have seen reasonable service from the Joburg Water guys We have had a water leak outside our house for quite some time, which we did not report cos we were stoopid as well. Even though the meter reader dude could see there was a water leak himself when he came round monthly (i saw him in the road 5 am on a monthly basis so i know he was there). Eventually i got hold of a number from my boet and reported the leak. Within 2 weeks the problem was fixed. Will try find the number, but i think it was the standard number available on their web site. Its not theft related issues agreed, but some areas have worked.

Close.... Too many f%$#wits to my mind.

Will this work with my Futurelife as well? The Crunchy chocolate one?
