Mud Dee is daar van daai liquid rubber in daai tannie se tieties ook?

So M, hoekom gebruik jy Stans? Ek is seker sludge is 100keer goedkoper

OK, fair enough. En wat nou van die arme bliksem wat sy hydration pack met sy spare tube en sy race fuel regtig by die huis "vergeet" het. Moet hy nou maar die race uitsit nadat hy 100km ver gery het omdat niemand glo hy het genuine need nie. Ek het ook al geld gegee vir die proverbial ou in die wit BMW. Dink hy was van die Paarl. Fact is, jy volg nie daai ou nie en assume dat hy regtig die geld vir die noodsaaklike 10liter petrol gaan aanwend. As jy hom m?re op dieselfe plek sien dan bliksem jy hom, of kry ses fris fietsryers om dit te doen

Hmm - If you have unlimited funds, just buy the expensive stuff - you get what you pay for, not? Most funrides you DON'T need any extra carbs anyway, so CvanC's water approach could very well get you there. I use Clifton HYPOTONIC, and for a proper sugar spike I'll resort to Coke. PS: Clifton is dirt cheap

Nah, not going to help you any Chris. The winner time is still 2h53 and that would be adjusted, if it changes due to DQ's. The seeding index you get will stay exactly the same. The only seedings that will be affected, are those of the DQed guys, who will not get any seeding for the event. The elites are the ones that don't need the seeding anyway, 'cause most of them start where they want to already.

But will it make you faster tooHot?

At the DC, it is another problem altogeter. The road near Suurbraak is very narrow. Teams are not allowed to slipstream other teams so you need to pass as early as possible. The team at the front is using up all of the left lane - what do you do? Then some a$$h0le with his bakkie (obviously a backup vehicle because there are bicycle wheels on the back) almost takes out one of our riders by passing us while we're passing the group in front. One would expect a backup vehicle driver to have more sence. PS: The road ahead was 100% clear, no solid line in the middle of the road, so we were good to go. The backup vehicle could have waited one minute.

One would think that the "Elite" guys should know the rules of the road. I was at the top of Helshoogte when the pace-car and the leading group came passed on the left side of the road. The next 2 or 3 bunches were all riding on the wrong side of the road and some had some near misses with oncoming traffic. The rest were all riding on the left, they way they should. Helshoogte WAS NOT closed for traffic, therefore you stay on the left. I think these idiots that think the road belongs to them should all have been disqualified - please see pictures and there's more

I've got the PPA calender up to Argus 2007 (Excel). PM me with an email address if you are interrested.

The only PVM I ate was before Swellendam. After that I could not eat anything that chewy while still managing taking on oxygen. I had at least 3 ripe bananas while riding - I'd recommend this for anyone that breathes heavily as they almost melt in your mouth and the skins are bio-degradable, so you're not littering when you chuck it away. Peeling them on the bike is also easy enough. The final 60km the thought of solid food made me nauseous so it was just Coke and nothing else. Worked very well.

I took a 3 week break over x-mas last year - SWAMBO's orders and no she's not my coach. I had one hell of a time getting my interval fitness back. Wanted to puke half way though each spinning class and that's only 45minutes. Don't even mention the first few funrides trying to stay on Marius' wheel up Ou Kaapse Weg. PS: Marius did not take a break last x-mas, did not lose any fitness did not pass go and did not collect R200 bucks. But ever since that 3week rest of mine, the little bugger tends to kick my a$$. This year my bike will not get any rest! Oh and did I mention, I get more than enough rest by training only once or twice per week, excluding funrides.

a wheel has very little in common with a bucket Seuss. The slime will most probably try to stay at the bottom due to gravity. Some will however go round and round with the wheel but that is more a function of its viscocity than of the centrifugal force you see with the bucket experiment

Hmm, lately kan mens nie vir 'n oomblik jou oog van 'n thread af haal nie dan begin Fatty die dames se boude knyp

I honestly cannot believe the amount of bull$h1t that is flying around this thread Get off all your lazy a$$es and start training for the TDF. Lack of "Natural Talent" is the only reason I'm not training for the TDF thank you very much. You can only train so much, and then the little bastard who was born with the cycling genes is gonna kick your butt.

En luister vir jou MA!

Ek dink M&R gaan vir oupa fire. Ek kan nie glo hulle het 'n ingenieur op hulle payroll wat nie kan tel nie.

Dankie ewep. 18 bladsye later kom die tweede helfte van die storie tevoorskyn. So sal ons try vir 30 bladsye om 'n oplossing te vind? hu, hu, any takers?

It seems we will never know, will we Spinnekop? It's been 16 pages and still nothing, nada!!! But I'd guess that oupa's real name is "Gerrie Koetzee" or something because I can't think of anyone else that will moer 6 cyclists at the same time, who then at the same time think it is necessary to resort to self defence

Kid, how will we know it is you? What will you be wearing? I'm sure there will be many guys/girls out there hiding behind camaras...

Ja dit was ek en die oom en die sous en nou soek ons nog net drie maatjies dan kan ons 'n Pollsmore DC span inskryf
