Hi all. An afternoon tea hosted by Sally-Ann Creed. A great event to consider. Please read booking instructions carefully. Look forward to having you over.

Incorrect. The headache came from sitting at dinner a long long time (happens often), legs were just sore from expo etc....... The more I think about it it could be the culmination of a long drive down, lack of sleep before and on arrival and 2 latish nights to try get sleep going..........The day after the race I could have pedalled my Polo up Du Toits Pass.........On the day I was a baby..........Hope the 94.7 goes better.......

Now that is both interesting AND worrying............will try Paracetomol if there is a next time....

Thanks to all for your replies............I am thinking it was an off day. I did feel a bit cold at the start even though I had arm warmers........I had a throw away bottle but wasn't majorly thirsty and had only 100ml or so. I did start drinking early......as I said, for 2 days prior my legs were sore like when you have been standing long..........Yesterday I could have ridden the wheels off......I think I did too little in the last 2 weeks.........twice I have ridden better on the second day...........Maybe next year I will train right up to the last day (Maybe lol). Thanks again!

I drove down Thursday.................Off day could be it as had achy legs 2 days before.you know the urge to keep putting feet on table..............and I was helluva well rested, almost too much rest.wondering about the Aspirin.........

Thanks guys, I dunno............I rode 130km in the Cradle 4 weeks ago but in my last 2km could still climb from Lions side up to Kloofzicht on big chainring yet on Sunday I def. had an off day...........

I started in DD group and as I was reaching top of Smitties I was blocked by a slower guy (from I think Z group which started ahead of me) chatting to his mate on his left (ignoring the "keep left, pass right" rule, which is maybe unwritten but should be commion sense???). I was trying to pass him on his right AND coming under pressure from guys trying to pass me, so I politely (in years gone bye I have yelled!) said "Please keep left".he ignored me so I said it louder, and when he moved I politely said "Thank you"......he seemed to not like this and sped up to chirp me that at our level time doesn't matter etc........ What do you giuys think? I think I was in the right as no matter what my start, I am chasing my own time, not to mention the safety aspect as there were plenty guys coming through due to them being faster than their start times..........

I just got back from Argus and have been mulling........ I had a bad neck injury 15 years ago and occasionally get headaches from the back of my neck into my head (often if I sit at a table, head back). Nothing other than posture related and they very seldom occur. Two nights before Argus I took 2 Extra Strength Disprins and again the night before......due to such headaches. Reason for my post is that (even considering the wind), I rode a shitty Argus when I compare to my training rides, especially climbing............I am a big guy but have ridden any climb out at the Cradle on (Roadbike) 53 chainring front and around 24 on the rear, and can repeatedly do this, yet in the Argus I was soon reaching for my 39T front and 2nd at the back, (25T)..........I just felt on the back foot the entire day and was hoping someone could shed some light............the next day I felt I could have ridden better than on the day, despite slightly sore thighs..... Anyone?

Looking for someone to ride (Pref. Roadbike) with on weekends and odd weekday ride, possibly Wednesday mornings (Meet at Cradle/Something Country) at around 06:00. Not keen to join Cyclelab etc and ride in big bunch. Not too fast at this stage, around 24 km'hr. Cheers

I'm looking foir a team entry for two of my family members, can anyone help? (Please?). Thanks torsten@mwebbiz.co.za

I stay in Randpark Ridge but only ride at about 24km/hr so would drop off the back..............I mostly drive out to Valverde and ride to the Caves and back = 50km..............I would be keen to join but reckon my pace isn't good enough yet

Thats 226 Clories..........

I trained with 32G1 and used the juice and energy bars in the 94.7. Bars are horribly dry....and I have never farted so much in a ride.ever! And felt uncomfortable too. I found 32Gi doesn't give me the intensity I used to get with Cytomax, but am not as hungry after a ride....

Included Cumberland Rd bumps and the fact that (when I passed) in the centre of Randburg a brass band and pedestrians were crossing the road rather than use the huge pedestrian bridge..............While JMPD stood idly by and watched.........

Noted, have mailed HSP to advise them Cheers
