I think the argument is that if all riders were on identical doping programmes, 1. They wouldn't all gain 10% on their original performance 2. The strongest wouldn't necessarily gain less and the weakest more in order to bring them to the same level The effects of the doping would depend entirely on their bodies' unique responses to the doping. Edit:spelling

When I pull my one brake lever there is no response at first, then a sort of click and they start gripping. What could be the problem?

The way I understand it is that a clean race with the same riders would have had a VERY different podium and GC. They all cheated, all gained varying advantages, hopefully all were disqualified, but none can say they would have had the same results if they all raced clean.

Absolutely fantastic!

Good work, Ollie. Good read. Pity it wasn't your bike which was recovered.

Did he really emigrate?

Great story. Thanks for sharing. It's good to hear!

My condolences to his family.

Near the Silvermine boom this morning.

Agreed. Of all the races I haven't done, Trans Alp was much easier not to do than the Epic.

I know there are signs at Tokai that one may not enter after sunset, but are there any parts of the mountain (i.e. the whole TMNP) where night rides are allowed? It may be common knowledge to some, but not to me and I'm sure not to other newer riders. Thanks

A change is as good as a holiday.

Congrats, KathF!

This happened.

The meeting was short and sweet. Looking forward to the official report from someone official. Congrats to the new committee!

Ditto!

My condolences to you and your family.

Excellent! Just a small correction to the website of the rose foundation on pg 3 of your pdf: the .za is missing from www.rosefoundation.org.za.

I just got a tailboard from a place in Paarl, Trailer Solutions, but not including the number plate. Still, it was less than R500. I'll also have to shorten the cable and make it a bit more user friendly to tie behind the bikes.

Thanks everyone. I'll ride with the phone in a pocpac till I fall off and it breaks.

I have one of these biggish Samsung phones. Where is a safe place to carry them?

I wouldn't accept that. If I was your insurer I'd be very p...d off to hear that the cops weren't still looking. Looks like we need trackers and microdots for the bikes now.

I tried the Cobra today. Excellent! Thanks to all of you who put it together. Also, thanks to whoever left my water bottle on the side of the track. I picked it up on my second time around.

De Waal Rd in Diep River (CT). Between the two railway bridges. They are using two stores, one either side of the road. One seems to be for their specials.

Many thanks for your offer, but I'm in Cape Town.
