The Guy in Pink

They are Kremetart surplass, which the wife uses at the stables. I borrowed a few hundred from the municipality one year and distruibuted them to the marshalls. One a team of marshalls returned about 20 more then I issued them with - their mashall point was alongside N1 roadworks and when they packed up they picked up all the cones in the area !

Sfe hs settled down and is now part of the family. She enjoyed a picnic lunch and a long walk yesterday in Hanglip Forest . But how can any mammal twist its spine line this and look so comfortable?

It Looks like Marsie has it. Thanks Hubbers! Last night she had a bath and dip, and settled down very quickly in a spot near the horse tack section in the garage . This morning early she was introduced to Bubbles - who loves a game of catch me with a ball. She has to be introduced to the other two mutts later.

SPCA is covered - my wife is a committee member. Must be dumped at least 5km from the nearest house. Did not just wander off.

I went into Roodiwal forest this afternoon intent on doing a 40km ride at a good work rate. 24Km into the ride I saw movement under a pile of logs, a Labrador pup. I lured her out with a Mars bar and she was very soon very friendly. After trying to lift her on my bike (was like trying to balance a wobbly trifle on the cross bar) I headed for home on the sortest route (12Km) to get back before dark and managed to get signal to prepare the wife to helpafter 5km . Kath was waiting and we got back with the last bit of light and found her under the logs again. So it looks like we also have a new Royal Baby and she needs a name, so please help with sugguestions Hubbers! I

A Friday Story Woman mistakes superglue for cold sore cream Police in New Zealand who feared they were being called by a gagged hostage rushed to a house to find a woman had mistakenly applied superglue instead of cold-sore cream. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/australiaandthepacific/newzealand/10147716/Woman-mistakes-superglue-for-cold-sore-cream.html

I asked that question to the CSA CEO about 12 years ago : Tannie Sylvia replied in an e-mail to me " What do you expect for R50.00?"

.........or claiming that it falls under the heading of "Sponsorship" and claiming their 10% cut under their rules

I cannot claim they have contributed nothing to my cycling experience. When I started cycling all events were held under the CSA of rather (SACF supervision) . But that was a long time ago before there was such a thing as recreational cycling. They totally failed to respond to the needs of less serious cyclists who now are the overwelming majority of cyclists, but they look to them to supply the funds to manage a small band of "elites". The PPA obviously supplies the needs of their less serious cyclists so their members are happy to pay their dues. For 15 years we have been requesting the CSA to do just one thing for the less serious cyclist : Provide one National seeding ladder for all cyclists using the results of all events on the national calendar regardless of who did the timing. Despite repeated promises they have failed to do anything to achieve a Nationaal seeding ladder of all cyclists.

Last week in a poll 27 Hubbers claimed a income of more than R100 000.00 per month. Wayne has set the pace , but how about the other 25 guys throwing in 2.5% of one months income ? Fire is not going to get a lot of USD$ for it unfortunately, but It would give her some spending money and pay for a few tubbies.

Where does the freedom of association guaranteed by the constitution come into this? Surely if some cyclists want to associate with the PPA and ride events organised by them they may, without being forced to associate to the CSA. Similarly the PSA is free not to associate with the CSA if it wishes not to. The Licence fee charged by the CSA is membership fee of that association by another name. We are free to associate or disassociate ourselves from any organisation, and involve ourselves and associations in any legal activity. Recreational cycling or sport is surely a legal activity.

Some awesome skill. On site in the Jungle of the Eastern Congo (DRC) we had to knock some trees down to make way for a tailings dam. Some local fellas harvested the wood by turning it into planks with a chain saw.

I still have my SACF (CSA) Licence from 1967 , and the SACF (CSA) hd existed forever before that, so the CSA is much older thn the PPA.

ditto got two sets, one on each MTB , clip easy in and out regardless of the mud. I have replaced berings in one set after two years - easy to do and the bearing kit is less than R 150.00

The Zoutpansberger has story with plenty of info and downloadable pdf's with maps, road closures etc http://www.zoutnet.co.za/details/06-06-2013/kremetart_cycling_race_2013/19466 Weather still looking good , but a bit cooler at Min 12°C Max 26°C North of the mountain is always a lot warmer . Pack the sunblock!

It might still be nippy though the tunnels, but once you are though its gonna be warm north of the mountain

Since I converted to tube-less 2 years ago I have not had one puncture.

The weather is still looking like being scourcher Min 18°C Max 33°C Wind 5 knots side wind in the morning and 5 knots tail wind in the afternoon.

I can see that may be very light, but it lacks a chain guide , so you gonna end up spending lot of time sorting the chain out when it seperates from the derailler
