    Thank you.

    I will be travelling with my road bike (packed in the Thule Roundtrip box) from Johannesburg to Spain - via Doha. Few questions: - 1. I am flying Qatar Airlines. I know Emirates require pre-disclosure of bike. Is it the same with Qatar as I cannot find anything like that on their website? 2. Do you think it will be necessary to wrap the bike with bubble wrap or should I trust the box? 3. Should I buy pool noodles and put that in the box to stop the bike from coming loose (it should be sturdy in the box but one never knows)?

    Triathlon is on. Swim was challenging to say the least. Current was really strong which led to a 3 minute swim with the current and 9 minute return (this for the top swimmers). Wet cobbles are taking their toll, but main contenders are all together.

    We have more than a sniff at ladies' swimming 100m and 200m breaststroke. I also think we may have sniff at ladies' mountain biking and maybe the men's. The rest, except for the relay team, I am not sure about. Let ius hope. Start today with rugby 7's. Go South Africa

    What I find a bity strange ion this fall is that he has a massive amount of bruising on his torso as well as helmet damage but no visible signs of any scratches or road rash

    Cycling accident in Centurion. Down hill from the corner of John Voster and Olievenhoutbosch streets. Not sure of details as I just drove passed. Pray the cyclist is okay and heals up quickly

    So there was another bike jacking this weekend (Sunday morning at about 9am). This time at Fountains Circle on the road. Be careful out there all

    So there were 4 reported incidents in the Pretoria area. 2 were on Saturday in the Pretoria East and Bronkhorstspruit areas. 2 were in the area surrounding LZ Township and Red Barn. These involved groups of 8 to 12 riders. The crews were armed and dangerous. Stay away from the following roads: - R21 (St George's Hotel area) M18 to and from Red Barn (Red Barn itself is incident free and they have upped their security) M57 between R21 and M18 Moonlight Road (Link between R21 and M17) SAPS is onto the case together with security.

    All 3 incidents are similar in nature. 2 were at the area mentioned above. Last cyclists (dropping off the pace a bit) gets isolated. Walkers suddenly pull out a firearm or knife and hold up the cyclist. They then lure the other cyclists to come back and hold them up as well. They take bicycles, cell phones, wallets, watches, etc. Normally at least one cyclist is injured. Another incident, similar to above was near St Georges Hotel in Irene

    It is by the shooting range near Red Barn on Glen Road

    This was only 1 of 3 incidents in that area on Saturday. Please do not ride this road or offroad section.

    I agree. Complete disappointment for all the hype it drew.

    Be careful of the flu going around. It is bad. My daughter had it and the doc said that it leaves everyone with a post viral cough which they are battling to get rid of. What worked for my daughter: - ACC600 3 days of antibiotics (the one you take once a day) The equivalent of Celestamine (2 at night) Corenza C paracetamol

    Someone openly admitted on TV yesterday when interviewed that he had chucked down a banned substance to get to the finish because his knee was sore.
