There is of course some truth to what you say. However sometimes a more complex story turns out to be the truth. On the Hub people tend to go by instinct and the first thing that pops into their heads is then defended no what what evidence is presented. If the Hub community decided all things based on this principle we would still think the sun went around the earth and that the earth was flat. After all the idea of sticking to the bottom of a ball sounds plain rediculous.

Sounds dodge I must say. But then I always have syringes around for various things. Would never inject myself though. Even a doctor injecting me gives me the creeps.

It's going to awesome. Can't wait.

I haven't done the 94 in the past two years. How much longer or rather slower is this route? I have done sub three hours on the old route several times and it wasn't so tough but I'm not as fit now. I have no problem riding hard for the group in the beginning to help and plodding home on my own when I pop. I have to ride home to Kensington afterwards so must save something for that I guess.

Communication is key I agree with that. What screws things up the most is people pushing too hard on the front when they have a turn and that shells people out the back. It will be cool until we leave then M1 then it gets complicated. Some people are faster up the hills and a group comes apart on hills pretty quickly. Not much slip streaming advantage on climbs. We may need to slow it down and regroup at the top of climbs. We will figure it out I'm sure

If I have this right we are going to try and get as many people over the line in sub three as we can? That would be great. I really need to work on my seeding. Going backwards at the moment.

I did it in 6 months. Beat that suckers!!!!! Hahahahaha. I guess some of us are just a bit slower hey..

Yep. I used one of those and still have the 460 version of it. The one in the image cost 60k in 1996 and produced a 1.4 MP image. No lcd and a battery that lasted about 12 frames.

A very arb info graphic. In 1994 Kodak launched a range of 3 digital cameras. DCS 420. DCS 460. DCS 465 which was a digital back for a Blad. They were the first successful instant capture digital cameras. Successful as in many commercial photographers jumped to digital with them and made a good living. Not even mentioned in this info graphic.

Didn't even know such a thing existed but I see the need for it.

Thank goodness. I was starting to worry a bit. Such a great team. Such a great story.

Amazed no one has mentioned Tony Impey. Ex pro cyclist who has a shop in Bedfordview. Been going to him for 19 years. Consistently great service. A massive fund of knowledge. He still personally test rides every bike that is serviced around the parking lot. Not to mention his son Daryl rides for Green Edge and has done very well over the years despite some awful accidents. A family run business and a cycling family. Tony is a hard man on a bike.

Feel free to ignore this or flame me. I will totally understand I read about a drink becoming popular in the States in the coffee places like Seattle. I gave it a try and really liked it. I don't drink so it's a kind of virgin cocktail thing. Fill a tall glass with ice. Add tonic water with a little space left over and pour a chilled double shot of espresso into it.

The meaning of this phrase is when there is a rumor of wrongdoing then there must be something behind it. It cannot refer to the syringe as that is not a rumor that is fact. If this phrase was meant to refer to the syringe then what is being said is; if a syringe was actually found then there was actually a syringe. Oh forget about it......

This always comes up and it makes me batty. I don't mean to pick on you Scott5 but think about this a little and you will have to admit it's about the most useless statement you can make. I will give you an example. I can say that Scott5 is a plonker of note (keep calm now, I'm just using this as an example). Someone then comes along and says yes they agree. You then say you are not a plonker at all. But hey, where there is smoke there is fire and you are now officially screwed. It is intellectually lazy and if taken to its logical extreme all it will take is to lay a charge against someone and he must go to jail. Where there is smoke as an argument makes anyone accused of anything by anyone at any time automatically guilty. It's what leads to mindless persecution, lynchings, which burnings and all sorts of other mindless behavior I guess that was a rant

Sold it on to a friend before I even paid for it. I knew he was looking for a good grinder so he got a real deal.

Just bought a Simonelli MDX grinder from Cash Convertors at Park Meadows. Brand new, never used, still in plastic, with the warranty card. I paid 10k for an identical grinder two years ago. This one was R1500.

Did your camera break? More pictures please. Are they set up yet?

One bike is a ride. Two bikes is a race. Thirty five thousand bikes is a flipping big race.

Mine is now sorted. Well so it seems. Took over a month and 5 trips in to the importers but it's finally done. I hope you don't have to go through as much difficulty as I did.

Oscar back after the fourth or fifth time after a botched service. Now I'm told they were putting in the incorrect element. Funny but that's what my gut feeling was from the start and I even suggested it to them. I'm not sure it's fixed but for now it's up and running. We will see. Thank you everyone for the ongoing assistance and advice while this was going on. V12 I am still planning on buying the Linea Mini at the end of the year. Would love to bother you for a lesson or two at some point if that's OK. Once again thanks all.

Imagine a family from Gauteng all want to enter and one of them doesn't get lucky in the lottery. Be a bit annoying really. I think I will skip it, again.
