Weight Weenie

Thanks for the effort so far guys App seems to be a bit buggy, I can't send any invites out via facebook. Regarding the gear, part of the prize is 10k's worth of Oakley merch so I'm sure I can't use all of it. Will have a draw for those who voted from the hub or something... I see one guy allready has 200 votes, yikes. But I'm sure we can whip him

Hey all As some of you may have seen I am looking to do a marketing internship as I am finishing my degree at AAA School of Advertising this year. So far I have not found anything but an opportunity has presented itself and I'm very excited about, but I need your help to make it happen.... Oakley SA has launched an internship competition on Facebook, where you submit a CV of some kind of weird but awesome job that doesn't exist and that you've never had. The "CV"with the most votes gets an internship in Cape Town to manage their social media, attend events, blog for them, meet the athletes etc. This would be the ideal opportunity for me as I can then combine my love for sports and adventure with my marketing training. Maybe I can even meet Burry some time... Now I'd like to ask a beeeeeeeg favour from y'all. Please, please, pretty please with a cherry on top go to Facebook and visit the app at http://apps.facebook.com/oakley_intern/ and then vote for my entry. It's called "Zombie Apocalypse Advisor" by Luan van Schalkwyk. Part of the package is some Oakley goodies so if I win I'll ensure some of it ends up in the hands of hubbers that voted Shot ! Luan.

Thought about doing weekday rides from the Moreletapark area. Start at 5am, ride to groenkloof, do a lap or so and ride back home to be there by 7am. Anyone keen ?

Nice shoes

We have challenge entry to sell if we can still do that ? We won't be able to make it either. PM me and we can negotiate

Ja i've forgotten, they are open from 5am again from September aren't they ? And close at 7pm ?

AWESOME !!! Well done to all involved

Thanks for the PM. Bike washes can be organised, but then we need to have a "meeting" with them as well afterwards About the spelling - I'm sure it will improve if I have less work and can get some sleep. Posting in the wee hours of the morning is not really conductive to spelling accuracy. Will mail/pm you as soon as I get feedback from my institution. Cheers, WW.

Thanks will do a search for him.

I'm looking for an internship in marketing/brand management in the Pta/Jhb area for a month, November-December. It's compulsary as part of my grad year (I need to be avaluated by the company) for my BA Marketing Communications degree at The AAA School of Advertising, I'm specialising in Brand Management. Drop me a PM if anyone knows of something. Shot! WW.

YEah always a bit weary of the python when running past the bat cave where all the dassies are

We still have our challenge entry for sale if anyone is interested.

Ran past a mozam spitting cobra in Groenkloof a while back, scared myself sh!tless ! Heard a rustle next to the path, kept running and when I looked back about a meter he was standing there hood flared and all.

They have been replaced by the ztr race gold wheelset. Not really sure what the difference is but it should be on the stans site. Two Wheels Trading are the local agents so would be best to inquire with them or via the lbs. I know you can also buy the wheels directly from the stans website so consider that option. Though last time I checked they were about 1000 dollars so bit above your budget. They are also race only wheels so you'll need a 2nd pair to train with on the mtb

Gotta love Kenny Powers !

Haha Ok Xander

Ray Maker has so many straps as he tests and owns allot of gadgets, would love to do stuff like that

Awesome bike ! Why did you go with "The One" and not "R1" brakes though ? And Shimano rotors ?

Same thing really, sure they are sold under many other brandnames as well

No. Just obese

They had some merch on the Rush Sports web shop at some point

This excites my inner gadget nerd immensely ! http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2011/07/tip-of-day-how-i-manage-15-heart-rate.html

Coming in 2012 so TBC

Ritchey has just the ticket for Weight Weenies, a 100g alu stem in 100mm guise that's also 4 times stiffer than previous 4-axis stems. That's well done guys !!! http://www.bikeradar...neak-peek-30996

so just wondering - aren't you impacting negatively on your training if you use a different drink than racing ? Or is that to do with intensity ie. water for short rides and some carbs for longer rides but for racing you are going 110% so you need some more oomph ?
