  1. And here is Ranger. The definition of dog tired
  2. With my luck I'll find out I have leukemia. Oh wait......????
  3. Erikk If I place an order today do I pay the ZAR price as listed on the /za site or do you recalculate based on the exchange rate when it becomes time for me to pay ?
  4. Probably because it is ascension day. I know that Jonene is committed to her Christianity.
  5. Watcha think. A pink one and a blue one ? I went to fetch my Ultimate in Koblenz, maybe a post Covid trip should be planned.
  6. I don't have opinions of my own so I only like comments that the cool guys have liked, but I can't see who has liked a post anymore....
  7. Right.... We learned in Gr1 that TUE comes after MON and before WED.
  8. Because you are taking the p1ss..

    Geek funnies

    She should have taken the half with the Start button
  10. That doesn't surprise me. I saw the way he treated his caddy and was appalled. The way a "celebrity" behaves towards minions and/or when the cameras aren't present is telling. He failed badly.
  11. Of the few TdF winners I have spoken to, Eddy was cool, Greg LeM was cooler and was very encouraging to my daughters, Big Mig dropped back onto my wheel and laughed going up Llandudno, Chris was happy to chat, Evans looked hungover at breakfast the day after, but was happy to accept congratulations. Mr60% was a nasty drunk and the only guy not to have won but displays 7 yellow jerseys was so not cool that he was not prepared to mix with the rabble.
  12. Tell me more ?
  13. But just maybe if you had waited till you were 7 you could have added a TdF to your resume..... Or, if like me, you were inspired by "The lore of running " you could have stuffed knees like me....
  14. I have done about a third of my rides riding with family members and a GF or so in my younger days doing their first one. Memorable ones were the short one with my Sister-in-law and just popping under the 7h mark with my nephew who though playing first team water polo meant he was fit enough. When the youngsters start challenging you, you can use the technique I perfected with my brother. Push hard and ride him off your wheel once or twice. When he complains, suggest that it would be easier for you keep an eye out for him if he were in front of you. Sit on his wheel until you hit Three Anchor Bay and beat him in the sprint.
  15. This ^^^^^ From your name I take it you are aligned with those machines that stay airborne because they are so ugly that even the earth rejects them .......
  16. There is nothing stopping you from riding to GRTP from Sedgefield, enjoying the trails and riding back after a slice of carrot cake and an espresso or two...
  17. No, I'd also get one of the new 4-seater highwing Slings for that.
  18. Base yourself in Hoekwil and ride to Oudtshoorn, spend the night there and ride back the next day. Ride to Knysna, overnight and ride back. Would work for me.
  19. I have previously done overnight trips on the Oudtshoorn to Calitzdorp and Calitzdorp to Vanwyksdorp legs solo in both directions. A few weeks ago my girlfriend and I rode from Knysna to Hoekwil on the Seven Passes route and back after an overnight stay. Pudding joined us on day one and for a few beers in his part of heaven and I can attest to the beauty of the rides. Logistically it is easy to do an out and back overnight ride on any of the legs if you want to get a taste for the bike packing thing.
  20. Bliksem. They told me that they would do it discreetly.......
  21. Perfect. When can I collect for such a ride....?
  22. How old is old enough ?
  23. The basics. For a start: The route; The overnight accommodation arrangements.
