  1. What is the consensus Orange seal Regular or Endurance in GP5000TL ?
  2. What is a portion of fruit or veg and how many should one eat ? When doing the health checks Discovery asks how many potions of Fruit and veg I eat a day, but there is no indication of what constitutes a portion. Also, what is the optimum number of fruit portions and how many vegitables ?
  3. I have a contact called BeGearA Watch 🤣
  4. Go and see Richard Baxter and do it properly the first time : https://forum.bikehub.co.za/search/?&q=Baxter&search_and_or=and
  5. I know it doesn't count as after Alpe D'huez they would never have let him get away again on stage 14, but I did back of a cigarette pack calculation ....... On the cobbles of stage 5, Louis lost the bunch that contained everyone else in the GC top 10. Tadej took 3:21 off him and the rest, including JV, 3:08. But for that one stage (and yes I know) Louis would be in second, trailing JV by 1:16 and leading the one TP by 1:19 and the other TP by 7:43 Not bad for a lone ranger against the big teams.
  6. I have used CRC in the past but not for the last year or two as the shipping was quite dodge, whether using courier or standard shipping. What is the current situation ? How do the options - Standard, Priority tracked and Express differ and how do each get dealt with in South Africa ? I'd appreciate help if anyone has had recent experience. Ps. I ordered stuff from Merlin recently and received it three days later via DHL.
  7. Married a cheapskate and moved to Canada.....
  8. Long story short. Many years ago, just after university 6 of us went down from Jo'burg to run the Two Oceans. Four guys and two girls. We were heading up the coast for a week afterwards. One guy had his eye on one of the girls and on the first night we went for Fish&Chips and a beer except Alec (that is his name) decided that he would share a seafood platter and a bottle of Chardonnay with the girl. When the bill came, he calmly suggested that the bill be split, popped in his 1/6th (and another for the girl) and then grabbed the bill so he could claim it back at work. The other four of us are still mates. We chose to never see him again when we got back to Jo'burg. ps. I hope you read this, Alec. We haven't forgotten

    I'll contribute 20% of the entry fee if you ride your 20" for @Reinet. I know she will be facing a new and possibly harder struggle. I had my last Chemo a month ago and got the all clear yesterday. I know the toll the last year has taken on Sue - watching, waiting, supporting and living with the constant fear that we may have limited time together and then a lifetime apart. @Cois will not be forgotten but Reinet is sure to need our ongoing support.
  15. 500 laps of the walking track around Zoo lake. 😉 500 over 8 days is only 62.5 km a day. Do 100 on the 24th and 26th and it drops to 50km a day. Easily enough done if you get ahead of the run-rate. Edit: Go everywhere by bike - to the shops, to visit you family, etc. Take a short detour there and on the way back and if you only do 10km like this a day, you can easily get a free 80km in. Do your 2 100km rides and all you need is 37km a day.
  16. I know Ti is harder than bluegum, but leaning a top-tube against a pole, ag sies man......
  17. I don't know if one can still substitute. If so, I have two entries free to a good home.
  18. They may be retailers but as far as I know Ikambi are the agents.
  19. @the OP If you are not taking the p1ss, you could not be going about this more badly if you tried. Stop worrying about gear ratios and average speeds, and contrary to what TNT suggested, I don't even think you need a structured training program or a coach at this stage. Just ride your bicycle. Do so regularly, mostly slowly and go further before you try and go faster. When you find that your weekly ride around the cradle is becoming easier, and you can do two laps without struggling, get a coach and get faster. Your current approach, if you are not taking the p1ss, is just plain pointless.
  20. Yip PM me please
  21. And that was only Std 6......
  22. That doesn't mean that the Sunday Times must print your letter just because they have letters page, and if they don't they are acting illegally.. I suspect it means that were the Sunday Times to choose to publish your letter, it cannot be precluded by the state in doing so. I think it also means that within the bounds of the law you are free to start up your own website, make your own rules and impart your own information and ideas without state intervention.
