  1. whaha not going to comment on this one. banana and inside whaha
  2. lol as dit musiek van die 80's is dan pomp dit of self lekker afrikaanse musiek. Is mos in die oos rand
  3. yip people will def moan always. Just think there is more to it than moaning
  4. agree with you and def on the lacking of communication about the race. Then also did I see with races before where motorist and residents do not obey even if there is clear early notifications of the race, marshals, metro, etc. For me it still comes back to even if their is an event with proper notifications and public communication people will still not accept it as they are directly affected. One do need to also have a bit of patience but most people only worry about there own needs nowadays.
  5. 1. I do understand your frustration. We experience it as cyclist also on a daily basis by the "hate"we get from motorist, etc. You also decided to be on the committee of Germiston Wheelers and must have know that extra scrutiny would have come to your side in the event that any cyclist or passing through of an event you will be asked questions. 2. the same can be said of cyclist also using the road and breaking the rules. Motorist is also up in arms about some cyclist behaving bad I was not in the area to see what notices was up but also the same are for other races. But people knew about the race as it was widely advertised. As also said on previous comments the event is needed for cycling as a whole. You say Kakaranda, that's an personal feeling to the radio station but at least are they getting involved in cycling. 100Cycle, rock in the something at Redbarn that was in April, Kremetart cycling race that died out due to no sponsors last year. Rather look at the positives of the event. Then also just by the feedback from so many cyclist is that the event was great and that they will def be back next year if it goes ahead. Let's hope iyt does
  6. dankie tog ek was nie daar om so embarrassed te voel nie whaha
  7. Just what I read on fb. The majority of the riders was happy and confirmed they will do the event again. Yes their was not full road closure for the whole route and yes people will be unhappy about it. Lets also be honest that all of the races do have a risk involved. Let us not try and target an event and look for the wrongs only. Thats just wrong to do. I will also be able to do it to each and every race and find fault with it. All of the races do run somewhere along dangerous roads or dangerous road surfaces and no race or organizer got it 100% right or close to it.
  8. I also forgot to enter before the deadline. My stupidity!! but also did not enter because I could not enter for the VA race
  9. look on the bright side. You will almost double your yearly total in 4 days
  10. Good luck to all doing the pano Just hope that stage 3 will be a safe one. So many trucks on the R40 and if misty even worse as alot of the trucks and vehicles use the yellow lane for others to pass
  11. That will always be an issue. sure all events do experience it. R500.00 for an line entry is still steep but acceptable if you look at the normal entry fee. R800.00 is crazy
  12. talk to Token now to exchange it for the C36. 36mm wheels
  13. prata van goeie vriende lol!! het hy darem n koue bier vir jou gegee toe jy oor die eindstreep gekom het?
  14. yes, thanks sometimes the luck is on your side but those wheels I passed it onto my gf as she will def make better use of it and get good results still, the wheels will def help her alot in it
  15. lol and you did look like you are dying when you came past me after I also blew completely maar well done met jul result
  16. yip agree and congrats on your time was a really nice hard day. All went really well for me until the big climbs and then all of a sudden I was a beginner again
  17. R800 for line entry. That's just crazy
  18. going to be an interesting day out racing. Can't wait for the race
  19. whaha bog man. soos vir Swadini, jy gaan na phallies area toe vir n training ride whaha
  20. when you going to ride it again?
  21. windgat!!! probeer om ons te vang whaha
  22. see you there if it's Proud beginners team
  23. only section that don't fall in Ekuhuleni. New route of there web as you cross over the N3 on the northern boundary of Suikerbosrand on the R550, turn right onto R103, left on to R23 till the next intersection of R550. In total about 15km. So small section that I was wrong on
  24. Well your choice at the end if you want to support/ride it I just look at it. Big sponsors coming aboard especially like Jacaranda FM that will do alot of promoting on a race but more importantly for cycling in general that will give more exposure for us to grown cycling in SA and most possibly awareness for cyclist. Road safety etc
  25. If I remember correctly we where warned about the Heidelberg chief of traffic. As far as I know the route will stay the whole time in Ekurhuleni borders. The border run south to Suikerbosrand north fence line, West into Alberton and East Past Springs. So if I follow your map supplief of 100Cycle then all is in Ekurhuleni
