  1. I bought two pairs of these a while ago and I'm suitably impressed. They're stylish and extremely comfortable. Great job and best of luck!
  2. Those look good.
  3. People cheering on Jens Voigt in another thread and then complaining about dopers in this one...
  4. Hi guys, Is there any other road cycling within a few hours' drive of Johannesburg that's similar to Suikerbosrand in terms of its semi-closed, virtually car-free roads? Other nature reserves perhaps? Cheers!
  5. Thanks for all of your hard work, Gerald!
  6. So it's looking like a shootout between Buster Bluth and NovakSA. How do their two teams compare?
  7. Looking forward to getting a team together. WIggo's a certainty.
  8. That's simply not true at all.
  9. Cool.
  10. Thanks a lot for the explanations Gerald! Just a few questions to satisfy my inquisitive mind: At the end of the Tour, am I correct in saying that the overall winner is awarded an extra 32.432 points, whereas the most combative rider for the Tour is awarded an extra 396 points? For the daily jersey classifications, if the points go something like 1, 0.995, 0.99, 0.985..., etc., what happens if there are only, say, 50 riders in the young jersey classification, for example? Will the points still go 1, 0.995, 0.99, 0.985..., etc., with just a higher minimum, or will they be higher for each participating rider, i.e. 4.00, 3.95, 3.9..., etc.?
  11. Perfect, thanks! Hopefully when you post some examples it'll be crystal clear.
  12. Thanks a ton for organising this and going into so much detail with it, Gerald! It's much appreciated. Just a couple of questions to get an idea of how the scoring will work: Will there be only one rider who scores points in each of the categories apart from the daily placings? What will the actual points amounts be for each of the other categories? Is it be about 50 points for each of the daily jersey wearers and about 1000 points for each of the final jersey winners, or a lot less than that?
  13. Thanks for the advice, shaker! I'm thinking of parking at one of the spots within the Cradle, riding out to Magaliesberg and back and then finishing off with a loop within the Cradle.
