We didn't. All the way back to the foreshore on the M3.

I recall that 3 cyclists died that year. One of them lay on the island between the M3 lanes just before UCT where SAPS had erected saw horses across the road to stop participants. The organisers had run out of water on Ou Kaapseweg as the earlier riders had used the water to cool themselves down.

I like it. I wish them success.

A heads up to cyclists using MAIN ROAD, HOUT BAY. I received a notification this morning from the Hout Bay Neighbourhood Watch. On Sunday 11 Jan at 11:00 a cyclist was robbed of his bike, cell phone and garmin by seven knife wielding youths (about 20 years old). The incident occurred near DARG opposite the informal settlement. The attackers tried to stab the cyclist as some of them were recognised. The notice said that the bike and garmin have been recovered, but nothing is said as to whether or not the perpetrators have been apprehended. There is a lot of traffic at that time of the day.

Yeah, when it's not wet it's windy and the mountain spoils the view.

heard this on a bus while traveling down the Champs Élysées last week. Pretty cool.

How can you tell?

That is a very broad brush you are wielding there.

Lets see what Darryl does now. I'm sure there will be a press release at least.

There is a very large police station not 1km from this spot manned by the worst kind of retards who spend their time in the shebeens across the road. People in IY township are being gunned down not 500 metres from the front door of this glorious institution while the idiots we arm wolf down KFC steetwise 25s.

There have also been two attacks on solo runners in the last week at the same spot. In the first instant the runner was attacked by 6 assailants at 15h30 in full view of road users. It appears that the purpose of the attack was assault, not theft. The idiots in blue could not give two flying f**ks. I am tempted to lay a criminal charge against the Hout Bay station commander for aiding and abetting criminal acts.

Nada.

He's one tough kid judging by the photos. I might not have been so calm about the situation as he appears.

If you are after a French classic, have you considered Laguiole?

I can't really comment on that, other than to say that I normally wear a size 44 and the 44 Suplest is a good fit for me. I also have larger size Shimanos (also carbon), but the fit is a bit too loose.

I have a pair of carbon soled Suplest Zero. I find them to be well made and a great fit. I have wider feet with very high arches so Sidi etc would not be for me. The Suplest have a nice roomy toe box without being loose.

Thank you for the heads up. Hard luck with your bike. Heal up well.

I know what is being discussed - very interesting in fact. I was just wondering why you would have us "take Messi for example"?

is Messi currently on growth hormones?
