How did you find the maratime hill?

Hi Cant do Sunday, looking forward to having quiet roads on saturday. Enjoy your christmas lunch and dont eat too much pudding

Man it must have been tough if you only getting back to the hub now, I was waiting whole day... Did Vallie go as well?

Cant believe this is the case in Gauteng. There are so many Muslim MTB'ers in Cape Town , it seems most of the roadies have left the road and moved over to MTB, I plan to also take up Mtb'ing after the Argus.

Damn not sure how to deal with this, if you had taken him out the car and Bliksemed him, then he would probably just take out on the next cyclist.. One of the cyclists should go lay a charge as they have his plate, even if he just gets a warning from the cops maybe he will think twice next time.

Cant you go lay a charge against him with the new regs coming in is he not supposed to stay 1.5 meters away from cyclists?

Hi Airbender, thanks for the invite man, I did my own little jaunt this morning, eagerely awaiting update on this, I am sure you guys enjoyed. I hope to go ride it Saturday Morning.

lol, you not going to have much choice come the 16th Jan?

What time you guys think you will finish ? I still have to get to work, would like to do this though, Probably leave it for the weekend.

Any rides planned for next weekend?

Mine was going under the 3 hour mark for the PPA races and doing personal best on the Burger 2010, just missed the sub3 but am still very happy with my time. Did the One Tonner was freaked out about the distance but surprised myself and finished nice and strong. Also got the new 928 t cube frame so 2010 was a great year, hope 2011 brings even greater accomplishments. Looking forward to great Argus and hopefully a DC next year

I so much wanted to join you guys, I am away this weekend so cant make it. Damn

Hi Found some of my pics on the site. www.actionphoto.net

No issues with Chaunce, great guy to deal with

I would keep the carbon bits, they just look so good. Besides pushing the extra 400grams will make you stronger

1.66 meters and ride 170 crank

Thanks guys lots of valuable info there, I have a long term goal to lose weight, enjoying the racing and trying to move up the seeding ladder so my short term goals is to do well at the races. Was just trying to bring the two worlds together or keep the long term goal in sight while still making sure I am race ready and wont feel like I needed to stock up on anything else before hand. Have chatted to a few other hubbers that I have allot of respect for because they are quite far up the seeding ladder an driding sub vets and the general consensus from them are they eat like they do normally and dont "carbo load".

Its going slowly, I want to make sure what I have lost stays off and that I can burn off the last few stuborn Kilo's. I thought I would just get some ideas on what kind of meals people have to carbo load, besides the obvious noodle/pasta...gets kinda boring. Should you stay away from Pizza for instance and rather go with a pasta

Hi So 2 to 3 days before race day have to Carbo Load, but if your overall goal is also to lose weight, how do you balance the fat intake? Which meals do you have 2 to 3 days before and do you even consider the fat intake. Its great to think you can just load up with anything but surely there is a smarter way to do this?

To be honest I was so upset with this guy, he pulled off to the side, but I really did not want to go over there. I checked myslef out and did not realise at the time that my cleat was broken, I just got back on and carried on. In hind sight maybe I should have gone to give him a piece of my mind, but I think he was also in shock, so did not feel like making him feel any better by saying I was not hurt.

So after many close shaves, I got side swiped this morning on my ride into work. I am ok, luckily, I was in this guys blind spot and at the last minute he puts his indicator on and turns, I turned my front wheel just in time otherwisw I would have flipped over the car. So my sti scraped his car and my shoulder went up against the door and then just went with the car into the side street. Broke my cleat and the scrape on the sti, but otherwise ok.

Please, please please let it be a mistake when they did the entry

Serves them right

I just checked and noticed that the One Tonner results were up and included for seeding on the PPA website, the winners time has been adjusted by 19 minutes the winning time for the 1 tonner (even if it is adjusted !) is 3h42min ? When on RACTec it is 4h00m58sec. This sucks as effectively did very little for me now in terms of seeding. Anyone else also have the same???

Hi David, Keep up the good work man, I will take a ticket
