Race day = Number 1 MAGEU, Start, Cytomax, Banana, water, Jellybabies, finish, Epic Pro. In that order.

Splinters of glass and hydrogen peroxide

I'm sure I saw Kevin Evans blubbing in a tv interview after Brandon Stewart cut him off during a race? Anyone remember that?

I'm sorry but this has to go down as the funniest thing I've ever witnessed on the hub. You may as well close the hub down cos it's never gonna get any better than that. Bye now. MBP out.

Babbas.....flat, fast, some sand.... minimal single track. One thing, after the neutral zone on that tar road.....it is flat out until you blow. No such thing as warming up in the bunch.

Next time....copper slip on the threads....but for now stop being a p#ssy, with enough force it will turn out. If you need to, take the crank off submerse it and the pedal in boiling water, the alu crank will expand faster than the steel pedal thread, take it out quickly and then turn that sucker out, don't take NO for an answer.....I know fokkol though so whatever....

1) Burn more calories than you stuff in your pie hole. 2) See point 1.

I need lots of bike stuff....send munny please.

As my doc said...."I don't suggest riding but if you must then just don't fall"

Ja agreed, was there yesterday. Very lekka riding.

none of the doctors are willing to take blood or urine samples for fear of catching the dreaded "Gingervitus" !!!

Yes, with the right exercises I'm 95% in a couple of weeks.

the only clean rider on this years tour? Speaking GC contenders....

K@K

Well um..... you will more than likely be seeded near the back. There are too many people, too many bottle necks, and it really isn't a very interesting route compared to what we have on offer in other races around JHB. Go there with the idea of it being a fun ride, nothing more. You will be way fitter and stronger than your eventual finishing time suggests. I have done this race with my 9 year old neice to introduce her to fun riding and I suggest you do the same with a young family member. At least then when you are beaten by 3000 tannies and kiddies in takkies starting in 2 groups ahead of you, you will have an excuse. I may sound like a snob but seriously there are a dozen races inbetween now and the 94 that are waaaaay more fun, challenging and prettier. As I said, this is only my opinion. Other may think it's great. In the end we do this for fun.

29.

40.....btw if you do a few more races before the 94.7 mtb race you will find you are going to be left extremely disappointed by the 94.7. Riding a bike is never k@k but that "race" is about as close you get to experiencing a k@k ride IMO.

Rouxtjie, download this (Maaaarten's upload from our ride yesterday), ride it, call me afterwards....... http://connect.garmin.com/activity/199502543#.UALw1D0BjE8.email

Probably your ABS kicking in, trying not not brake so hard on loose or wet surfaces.

Road bikes? Or 29ers?

If you are running Hope hubs yes.....the rest i dunno....but i dont see why not

Pop rivets work for me.

Pofadder at Van gaalens...... but the wrong way up. I've had vultures circling me there

I think Sagan should do the following when he wins another stage. Turn around on his saddle to face the peleton, whilst pedalling backwards do a no handed wheelie over the line, Right hand in the shape on an "L" on his forehead, Left hand giving the bird, mouthing the word "Loooooserrrs!".........cos that's what I would do if I won a Tour stage at 22.

Please don't listen to this. There are already enough okes I battle to beat in races.
