Radiolab is king Dabbled with: Freakonomics, This American Life, In Conversation with Jeff Garlin, SModcast. The ZAR one is interesting interviews for local economy and state of nation etc. They do take up a lot of time though!

yeah, it was a massive bump but, it came up in a general google search for "is pronutro actually healthy" or something like that...

Interesting comment, I would have thought Giant (along with Specialized) less sensitive. Quote from a review of Trance for Aus market:

THREAD RESURRECTION I just had it for the first time (free packet in race goody bag). I have questions: 1. will it ever stop expanding in my stomach? 2. will I ever be able to **** again? 3. why is this a thing?

That is completely bizarre!

Good news is that I still don't have kids and the week ends early because its Origins tomorrow.

yeah, its well expensive. Im just ticking off a few "have to do once" things in my life

Will let you know in 15 mins...

I just sign with a ">:(" or "unnecessary fuckery" these days.

Checkout people actually work in Aus and NZ. A single person can swipe your groceries, put them in a bag for you and handle payment pretty quickly. Mostly because they are standing instead of sitting down and focused on their job instead of talking to 3 other people. Otherwise you just go to a self checkout and do it all yourself in a few seconds. And how I miss paypass! Just tap your card on the register for any purchase below $100 and its done. None of this swiping/signing nonsense. (buying groceries in SA is perhaps my single biggest peeve, I'm sorry)

Red trail is pretty great. It got a lot of wheels over it today!

Fargo season 2 was great TV. Also really enjoyed Master of None - really great comedy making salient points about family, relationships and identity (targeted at the 20-somethings/early 30s). iZombie and Last Man on Earth are our "switch off" TV right now.

sounds like discovery is one social marketing idea away from administering electric shocks to the little lab rats who fail to meet their quotas for the month its almost like someone took on a social sciences masters student's enthusiasm and turned it into a business model... Nah, I actually know little about it - probably fine, I'm just a skeptic (or cynic, depending on what mood I'm in).

Yep, can ride wherever on the weekend. Climbed up past canaries to do the 2 sections above never ending story (part with the "compulsory portage"). Gave a really nice view of the new trails, can't wait to ride them. Seems most people there are just riding the jeep track anyway, so doubt there will be any problems...

Cool, if any changes announced on Facebook could someone post here for those of us who don't use it. Otherwise I'll assume the red line is closed until then.

I'm going to head up tomorrow - if nothing else open can do neverending a couple of times.

Australia 389/2 (88.0 ov) vs NZ, Day 1. Fair enough.

oh yes, the weeping.. I forgot about that part too. cool, thanks for the pics as well

yeah sorry, that was a poor comment on my part. guess I meant my experiences with the XC orientated ones.. RoRo wasnt a great front tyre for me, and RaRa was ok as a rear but it wasnt the most heavy duty

Although nothing about Shwalbe tyres inspires confidence when you hit the rocky terrain....

Anyone ever run a Rocket Ron as a rear? Looks like it could be nice and grippy over loose on hardpack (which is what Western Cape is going to be all summer). Just have a spare one, thinking of using it up before putting on another saguaro..

Oh you know, just conserving a National Park right next to a major city... Sorry to hear about the ordeal though, shitty people.

So, that big sign at the gate showing the red and green areas has either been taken down or updated then? Because I thought all the canaries area (and more) was still off limits - workers there or not...

how you still enjoying that parkwood? as my q above - hows the rider comfort on the longer rides?
