You did what?????? Havent you heard the saying, "mense kom van die Oosrand af, hulle gaan nie soontoe nie"?

Strength to the family. May God comfort you in your time of need. RIP Edit: spelling

This blog post, I think, sheds proper light on the subject.... http://www.bicycling.co.za/blogs/olis-epic-blog-ride-every-stage-like-last/

Yep, I'll definitely go for that!

Rediculously awesome!!!!

You had to go there? Ouch

You recon if we keep this thread alive till tomorrow that it could be seen as a Friday thread?

I picked up my road bike for 2k here on the hub. A very decent Silverback Arizona. It was my first road bike. I have put almost 3000 km's on it since i bought it about 10months ago. I love it. My point, you dont need a super bike to start with. Get something decent and take it from there..

Bumb....the iron man is this weekend. Lets help the boy ( both rider and kid).

Dude, the dropout rate at the argus was also different from last year but the route was the same. Difficulty is not the deciding factor when it comes to dropout rates....

I cant find me. Action photos have 8pics of me, so my number is displayed fine. Did you only take pics of the front runners?

My penny is in the bucket. (R226). Its through FNB, so should reflect tomorrow. All the best Rich. Lets hope we can get enough for that chair.

My pleasure. I'll drop something in the bucket on payday. You are doing a good thing bro!

It reminded me a bit of Ou Hels, with a sea view. It just became my favorite climb in CT.

We rode Red Hill for the first time. What an amazing climb.

Bumb

I met one of those idiot motorists today.... My father-in-law and I were riding paceline past Noordhoek on our way to Houtbaai via chappies. My father in law overtakes me to take his turn up front. A motorists comes past and the idiot passenger lady hangs halfway out the window shouting SINGLE FILE. I mean WTH! I also met a few awesome motorist, who let us have right of way, waited at crossings and patiently rode behind is up chappies. Its a pity the one idiot will spoil the good work of 5 good guys.

You asking or bragging?

Have it sent via the post office. Then you miss the import duties and taxes.

It's the Friday thread! Haha. Get a road bike. Issue solved. Edit: seriously though. Check the multitude of 27.5vs29 threads. All the info you'll ever (or never) need.

I think that was you. You were a couple bikes behind me when you dropped. I saw people running to your aid so I kept going. It was funny, yes, but I also know how you felt. It happened to me on krommerhee with the Burger, luckily I could get my cleat out. Everything went super tense and hurt like hell! This time I took a load of Rennies with. I cramped a bit on Suikerbossie, but the Rennies sorted that out for me within a minute. I'm glad you didnt get hurt after that swan-dive!

No complaints from my side. Compared to other road races, the Argus is the best one yet (from timing to organization). I agree with the seeding though, I rode in Z and passed a few 'visible' cyclists with very high seeding and couldnt work out how they got there.... I'll definitely be back next year to break 4h00, maybe even 3h30...
