F*k...WAAR ry jy???

spoken like a true Capie!!

yes! unless the roads are closed....

On the matter of PPA....I've seen from a "reliable source" that the PPA bank balance currently stands close to R20m ...can you believe that?? I diod bot realize that the PPA's mission was to create a surplus fund to generate massive interest from?? . actually - one can get their past annual financial statements and verify this for oneself.

The two MAJOR costs in an organised race are (1) timing and (2) traffic control. medals make up but a small portion of the cost(s). oh, then there are all the things we expext to have but not ealize thta they cost big bucks when added togeter...portable toilets for example - anybody have an idea what it cost to hire, say 10 portaloos for a weekend? On-line registration - website set-up etc. this also does not come free / cheap... I'm also assuming that ALL event organisers are dpoing this for the caharity and that they are NOT getting paid for their slog... oh, and i haven't even mentioned hiring a beduin tent of some sorts...in 2009 it cost us R2500 for the delivery and set-up /removal (tent rental was free/sponsored). So, you can see - that without a serious mainline sponsor (in order of R50k) to kickstart the proceedings...it's a difficult task to make any money from an event!!

I ALWAYS stop for female riders in distress that have their tops zipped down juuust that extra liitle bit.... It's a bad habit but I just can't kick it!!

Wayne, we are thinking of launching a new event here in somerset west one of these days... after some enquiries - if we cross just 1 x road...bearing in mind it will be a MTB race...1 x road...there need to be traffic officials present....and the MINIMUM fee would be R11 - R15k. That equates to almost the first 100 entrants' fees of R150 going straight to traffic police...then we havent even asked a parmedic /ambulance to be on standby. They do not even supply their own pot of Vaseline with that....

Maybe the shop guys diluted your stans with some water??? that would not be too ethical...but hey, one never knows...

Maybe a trial by social media??? perhaps not a bad idea to post your observations & facts on the FB page of the tow truck company...dunno how /what effect that will have though...

I HOPE THAT DRIVER KILLS HIMSELF (ONLY HIMSELF!!) SOMETIME VERY SOON.... the world will be a better place without him... might be harsh...but that's how i feel about his action & attitude... Please report his details to Ntida as well...hopefully he can get sued for damage to fence etc. shocking behaviour...

There is also only one way to learn...the HARD way...plenty of time to think about it while you walk back!!! It will only happen once, I can gurantee that!!

Vettes, I blame YOUR WIFE!!! WTF!!! keeping her phone off like that....AND WHY THE HECK DID SHE NOT PACK YOUR SPARES CORRECTLY?? Surely you would not have willingly go ride without a pump and spare tube etc.??? Fire her ass, I'd say!! She's not a good team manager... :whistling:

True MTB'er spirit!! :thumbup: Hats off to you, sir...

Nothing to shoot down!! It works....well...period....what moer do one need? Google Ghetto tubeless and for R200 tops you'll be "converted" !!

Have some fun ith the scammers...scam THEM!!

GROOT ongelukke...soos wanneer jy in die hospitaal moet oorbly; ICU ens...die R100 000 rekeninge...dit die ENIGSTE voordeel..enige iets anders betaal jy maar self!!! So, hospitaal plan + versekering is dalkjk betre opsie...

THAT'S WHY NFL FOOTBALL PLAYERS SIT IN THOSE ICE BATHS AFTER THEIR GAMES?? {sorry for shouting...too lazy to retype..}

my bodyweight rainer's advice is that one should always try and attend the next session after a hard workout...this combats the onset of DOMS and I can really vouch for that!! it's a biaatch to strat going again...but afterwards the effect is very rewarding!! I'm a big advocate for the 'continue with excercise but just at a slower pace..." it get rid of the excess lactate in the muscles most efficiently...

Just don't ride up front!! :whistling: Seriously, though...it's time we take some action and just mace whoever we find alongside our trails...that will send the message clear!!

do you wnat nice looking weels OR proper working ones??? seems you can't have both...

Google...Rogue riders...on this here Hub...I've been debating this scurge for some time now!!! you can also see some of the idiotic comments left there... :cursing: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/133479-rogue-riders-how-to-find-a-workable-solution/ edit; made it easier to find...I pasted copy of fred...

Hmmm...some interesting statistics... http://www.moneyweb....is-the-new-golf And alas,...with the numbers explotion...comes the unavoidable segment of the population that we would rather not meet on the road/off-road...they should please stick to golf...

eish again!! and then to rub it in... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBFLsIOah-E&feature=player_detailpage this hillarious ausie bloke ...google kevinbloodywilson & they beat me..... I just hope they don't come up with something similar after the SA tour!!

By all means..this will be an extreme race!! good luck to all...me, i'll hide in my swimming pool... :ph34r:

SO, What's the issue?? HUGE saving on his viagra bill??
