I logged in on Monday afternoon,submitted my return and this morning my refund is in my bank account.
We did this race last year. Some technically challenging rocky sections on the ridge were our highlight
Sjoe... yip, we definitely don't make white bibs anymore, can only imagine it's some very old stock that didn't clear (for obvious reasons) and got thrown in as a sweetener.
Glad they're comfy at least and thanks for wearing baggies over them
I second that.
I once had the misfortune of sitting behind some guy wearing white shorts in a spinning class. At the end of the class I thought it was just polite to ask him for his telephone number as I felt we had been up close and personel. For some reason he was a offish but he never wore those white shorts again.
Ok thanks, will check them out. Shows how thick my blinkers are. Have stayed in the area a while now and have never ventured off the main road that goes passed there(You have only just moved here and you already have tried them). And when I do go get takeaways its from karaglen or stoneridge from the mainstream places. Need to explore more.
My wife used to be the editor of Ride magazine so she was invited to the opening of the Anatomic Shop.
As I come from Durban and she knows I love curry she noticed the shop next door. So we went the following weekend - both to buy some cycling shirts from Victor and some curry from next door
An anatomic shop has just opened up literally a few km from me. Haven't been yet but my folks went there the other day. Definitely a lot more convenient than trekking all the way out to beyers naude
Added bonus if you like curry. The shop next door makes awesome bunny chows and chilli bites.
Ouch!! Hope she can be saved! Out of interest, how far was your seatpost into the frame?
I will have to check.
It is a standard Lynskey seatpost into a medium frame and at 173cm I am on thebottom end of the frame size so this should not have been the cause of the cracks.
My Gary Fischer built with parts from my parts bin at home. Loving it
This bike did some travelling.
I bought it in Dec 2010 and shipped it to Jhb to use as my commuting bike.
In Feb 2011 my daughter went to Stellenbosch so we shipped it back to Stellenbosch for her to use as she had no transport
In Feb 2012 my daughter got a car so we moved this bike to Cape Town for my wife to use when she went there on business
In Jan 2013 we shipped it back to JHB and gave it to my son-in- law to use while we found him a bike.
Then a few months later a hubber was looking for a bike for his gardener so I donated this one.

Normal practise here in Beer land.
Each dog has one tied to it's harness - see blue on photo. But my boy needed to stop more times than we had packets.
Is there an option for our vehicle to be driven from the start to the finish?

Front light - 2000lum on dim pointed downwards to about 5m in front of wheel
Body - hi -vis vest -
Back of Helmet - Blackburn red flea - set to random flash

I see that there are many knive makers at the Huntex show this weekend
Knysna forests. Magical place.
And the Garden Route MTB Park - lekka.
That top picture still has the ability to make my legs wobble from bad memories of the old Epic day 1- 1st climb
My male labrador making sure I don't leave him while he is sleeping.
They had just come back after 3 days in kennels. They were there during our house move as I did not want them stressed out by all the strangers and activity.
I had an encounter with a spitting cobra on Sunday while waking with my wife and our dogs.
We were on an overgrown path. My dog was in front of me and my wife and the other dog were a little way behind.
I felt something solid hit me behind my knee. I thought other dog had gotten too close behind me and bumped me with her muzzle.
But my wife , who is a snake fundi, said it was a spitting cobra that had been sleeping in the grass and had reared up and smacked my leg as a warning.
My HR reading on my watch spiked by +-30 beats
Luckily for me it did not appear to strike with its fangs as there were no puncture marks (or pain)
Perhaps we should promote Behardien to the top of the order, like his promotion to capt of the T20 side? [joke]
The one player that I can't understand how he got into the squad let alone keep his place.

My 1st mtb race back in 1999.
Rode it on a rigid steel hybrid bike with V brakes and wore takkies.
I did not know what the arrows on the marker boards meant and managed three dismounts on the big downhill.Luckily my previous sports taught me how to hit the ground without too much damage.
Hopefully financial year end schedule will allow me to go.
