Poison Ivy

Thanks Ronelle and Raymond. Great Pics...but I think I have to say that this one is my favourite. I'm with you on this looked at this one far longer than the rest and the others are very pretty

totally agree the only thing thats boring is me having to wipe the drool off my key board

hhhmmm now that you mention that....I just had a look at yesterday's full results

Maybe they might shorten the stage today again, like 2 years ago when it was jsut too hot to continue.... 12h00/13h00 in this heat over Vissershok.....is

Oh

The latest update I got is that Reinhardt Janse v Rensburg from Toyota Cyclelab had to abandon today due to illness I'm getting the info from the our Hub photographer from the road as it happens

there aint enough epo in the world.... Mmmmm, I don't think EPO was his choice of brand...he was a sprinter remember

theres a road sign at the bottom of Helz (Pniel side) that says the road will be closed on Friday 6 March from 10h45 to 12h00 for Giro del Capo

the situation is currently as follow: just past the 30 km mark and the bunch is already split in 4. Barloworld and the Polish team is motoring. There's about 15 guys in that front bunch besideds B/W and Pol, also 3 Medscheme and 1 Neotel rider. second bunch is mostly House of Paint and one B/W rider that didn't made the split. Third bunch is Tiaan Kannemeyer in the front and the 4th bunch is being driven by Phen. The wind is is very strong and about 30 degrees out on the road.

One thing that I've learnt over the years is that you'll never be able to please everybody....but as long as the majority is happy.... There was this particular Dad that swore at me last year at WP TT champs, and Saturday morning he chatted to me as if we were "old" buddies.... you win some....you loose some....life goes on !!

ag my goeie ffffffffff flip....

you'll be missing some vital body parts by the end of this tour

You don't perhaps have a side view of that MTN rider so that I can see his nr....guys in the break wanted to know who he was

Thanks Ronelle, also for all the updates today....made things a little more bearable this side

luckily I don't have those too

Is the front wheel raise or on the ground? Try putting a phone book under the wheel. Otherwise' date=' think of it as a great excuse to get out of the house and ride! [/quote'] Yes I have the phone book under the wheel and everything else is 100%, set-up, saddle, shoes/cleat-position, good shorts etc Maybe its just me, I tense up even on the trainer But I also prefer the road, but my coach has my on my trainer every Friday morning. He calls it me weekly stress release

Lately my hands go "dead" (needles and pins) on the trainer after only a few minutes. Don't know why

Fantastic....love to hear stories like these.....

Thanks Ronelle, voel sommer nou baie beter Awesome job, stunning pics !!

about 2 Saturdays ago, we were returning home and there is this silly little traffic circle not far from where I live and a lady from a driving school and her learner got to the circle the same time as we did.....now remember the same rule apply to me as a bike on the road as if a car, yield to the right, lady instructer instructed her learner to continue driving through the circle totally disregarding us as bike riders in the circle at the time.....obviously I made a big racket. But the point I'm trying to make is that the people teaching people do drive, don't have clue...

Really glad you guys are OK and able to tell the story....

thanks Ronelle, couldn't wait to see these pics this morning...wanted to be there so desperately, but have this tiny thing standing in my way called: work
