I FLY

At least offer me a Lynskey titanium one to match the one on my SS

It's on the shopping list

My wife's SS just arrived back from Mike's Bike. I have wanted to get her a decent frame for a couple of years. Lynskey PRO29 - frame bought from a hubber.

A couple of years ago the Middleburg dam level was so low our eMalahleni engineers were planning how to get water from our dam to the Middleburg dam. Then it started raining hard and in less than a week the Middleburg dam wasfull Living next to dam makes one realise the effect drought and rainfall has onour dams. Our dam has gone from 38% to nearly 80% since November. Our usageis about 2% per month

The tables are turned this year. My wife has a torn rotor cuff so she has to watch me leave. Last year I had a broken collarbone and some fractures in my back

My SS is my go to bike for all my training rides up 70kms. Beyond that I get frustrated with the top speed of 25km/h on the flats. My geared bike waits in the garage for races to happen.

And in the world of accountants. I still have 3 financial HP calculators

Last year my refund was held back. When I asked why I was told that my 2007return was not on record despite me submitting manually twice( in the days before e-filing). It took me a week to find all the documents, redo on e-filing and submit documents. Payment then took another week. This year I did my efiling. Next day I was notified that I needed to submitmy supporting documents. Within two days of submitting my documents my refund was paid out. It was not large enough to cause SARS current cashflow crisis so I can't beheld responsible for your delays.

As was the case last year, the scholars who took part in this race last Saturday did not drop any litter along the route. Apart from a few waterbottles dropped on the rockier sections I did not find one piece of litter when we cleared the markers after the race. The majority of the race took place in our wildlife reserve and we would not get permission to use it again if one of our animals died after eating any foreign matter

I like the look of the Contraband with the polished finish. I had forgotten about this frame as an option.

I am thinking of changing my wife's SS frame I have a choice between Momsen STR or Cotic Simple Any views of which one? This is a rhetorical question as I know there will be many.

We run with an Absolute Black oval 34 chainring and 18 cog at the back Can get all the climbs in my area but flats are always a mental challenge

Agree with you. We rode on our SS bikes and were worried about all the flat sections but apart from one section it was up and down. Took some strain in the last uphill portion of the singletrack through the trees near the end

The fines can be a maximum of 10% of annual revenue and the commission actively promotes a " First through the door to give evidence" amnesty.

I am a CA(SA) and financial director at my company. My boss, collegues and other members of staff are in constant amazement that anyone would want to commute by bicycle ( especially in winter) but it appears that they take some reflected pride as I am often asked by suppliers and customers if I am the one who rides to work.

We also do some 3D compound bow shooting. One of the targets was a full size crocodile which was set up next to a stream. After one heavy storm it was washed down the stream towards the Kwena Dam. So if you see a croc it may or may not be real.

I go and ride in these valleys a couple of times a year and always go to this resort for a meal. There are some excellent forestry roads with serious ascents/descents. One section is about 8kms with 600m of altitude difference. Another is 2kms with 280m altitude difference. I look forward to seeing the Strava maps as I am there on 11-12 June with my bike. My profile photo was taken at the start from my friend's smallholding in the one valley

My wife and her team started building the track today. Slightly different from last year's.

I always have a quiet chuckle when people refer to CA(SA)s as boring, timid, risk-adverse people. Both my brother and I are CAs but have managed to jointly accumulated more than 80 visits to emergency wards over the years. After my last visit with a broken collarbone and three fractures on my spine my brother sent a message to say " Try harder". His last accident resulted in 8 fractures of his pelvis.

Not all traffic is stressful. Held up by these guys on my 5km commute home last night. No comparison in stress levels when compared to my previous commute from Sandton to Honeydew.

We have the AB oval 34 on both our SS bikes. My bike has horizontal sliding dropouts and my wife's bike has vertical dropouts with a chain tensioner No problems with chain tensioning or dropping chains.

I went through that same hurdle. Discovery and Retirement fund companies were very organised in getting me copies of my tax certificates. Some were emailed while I was still talking to their helpdesk staff. Luckily I had kept a copy of my IRP 5 for that year so the process although a bitter task was relatively painless. I got back my 2015 refund within a couple of days of filing my 2007 return

Mine took me to Witbank Mediclcinic with a broken collarbone and other injuries

Happened to my mate on the border. Bullet went through the back of his bush hat but missed his head. My mate could not talk for a couple of days he was so shocked. Shooter took much punishment from the rest of us for his stupidity as he did not clear his rifle when we returned to camp

At Joberg2C one rider had 4 GPSs on his bike
