Our vehicle was so busy helping other teams by the time they got to montague we were already thru.1st pitstop was Ashton garage for water Note to self-6 guys at 50km mark is not enough

Just do it our way,no backup vehicle for 165km

I'm sure a lot of positions will change after winningtime have sorted out all the queries.(In about a months time,still busy with 94.7 queries my email says)

So far i must say i'm impressed,Myrace and Carinus are on the ball.As it is new i am sure there might be a few teething problems but so far so good.Just another question myrace,i cant remember been asked what cat i want to register for(vets,elite etc)What if i am 32 and want to race elite?So far the system has far less hassles than the new HDTV

Hope so too.I believe we need Teus and Wed.Caters for 2 different kinds of cyclist.Both good

Just heard that money paid to rent track on Teus was paid to whoever is there to collect it on Teus and was never passed on to the higher powers at Killarney .Heard no cyclists or those organizing Teus are at fault but those employed by Killarney.Might all be BS,like i said just rumours.

Rumours of someone with their hand in the COOKIE JAR,and it's not a cyclist.

In the current financial situation in the world i think we will find a lot of teams struggling for sponsers and money next year with a few teams folding.Even my team has tried to cut my sponsership from 3 bags of oranges to 2 bags of oranges.After many CCMA meetings i'm back up to 3

Well i'm stillwaiting for something so i can approve my own application,maybe it takes a few days.

So far it all looks good but i have a question for Carinus.When applying for a license there doesn't seem to be any check that you do actually belong to a club or have paid your club fees.As long as you can upload a photo(2MB or less)and pay the money the license will be issued.

He won a 27 mile race against a bunch of nobodys.Don't know why everyone is getting excited.Dont you believe it WH,his coming back for his ego.

Bought from WE

Just bought some to try from a LBS.At R20 a pop you going to have a tough time selling.

Had oro puros,great brake but i think they might be dropping them for 09.

There is an agent for Formula in SA so spares are not a problem.I think they make the best brakes out and can't wait for the new R1. 240g

Ronelle can you please confirm if you are going to be at Killarney this week as it is the only reason that i and a lot of others go.(what can i say,i'm a camera SLUT)

Always use gel.Finds it keeps my hair nicely in place for Ronelle's photos.Find goo works best for that spikey look.Others don't wash out so easily.

I looked at the wasp gel and was very interested especially with the caffeine content but i got put off by the flavours they came in.I only use gels for 3hr plus rides and the thought of taking kiwi or berry blaze for 6 hrs just doesnt gel.I prefer a neutral flavour.Sponsering of individuals is a wast of money IMO.I don't use GU because xyz uses it.I use it because it tastes good,and works for me.Why not rather sponser an event,mtb local RR or triathlon.Sponsered riders only look at what is in it for them,not promoting your product or company.The content of your product looks good and the price is good,so for me it is just the flavours and exposer. Good luck m2c

I think this post must be moved to Friday funnies.

I think icycling is the agent.How about some prices of the Grace and Lord icycling?

Seen this myself on the scale.Often the diff between a company Top of the line carbon FS frame and bottom of the line Ally FS frame is less than 100g.They will all tell you how much better the carbon FS rides but all marketing BS.Huge diff between carbon and ally HT but not much when you go to the FS.Not worth the extra 10-20K that they are asking.Giant has done a good thing if you ask me.

If you have a 104/64 4 arm bcd(xt,new xtr etc) you can't go lower than a 34 middle because the chain catches on the spider.Specialities TA make a ring to fit on the granny gear 24,26,28,29,30.Your big ring then gets put where your middle ring used to be.Better chainline,gears work perfect.I'm running a 28/42 up front and it is perfect for mountainbiking.

Been doing this for years,works like a bomb.When mtb goes 10 speed we will only have 2 blades in front.Current setup with campag rd FD saves about 100g.
