  1. Hi. What has become of the Trinity Sports series of duathlon and triathlon events at Germiston Lake? Not seen any change to the content of their website since January 2022. Apologies if this is covered elsewhere or earlier. Tx.
  2. Free to a worthy home: '42 Peaks : The Story of the Bob Graham Round'. Book. History of this great English Lake District challenge. One of the world's ultimate solo running undertakings. You must collect, I live in Atholl, Sandton. Russ
  3. Geomark, in the top image and vertically above the wing mirror, is that Compassberg in the hazy distance? Just wondered.
  4. Yorkshire: God's own country. Enjoy. ????????????‍♂️????‍♀️
  5. Running: 1142 kays. Cycling: 2590 kays. Push-ups: 25001. I'm 62 yo.
  6. Alex, you are one of the hardest blokes I've ever met. Well deserved. Russ (and Heather).
  7. That would be Tommy Simpson. MHDSRIP.
  8. Hi, Post #12 below, refers. (The one with the maps). Has anyone ridden the gravel road from Tarkastad to Cradock past the Commando Drift Nature Reserve? If so, please advise about conditions - rutted? steep inclines? much/any traffic? Any input would be appreciated. Ta.
  9. 'I suppose that everybody has a piece of landscape somewhere that he finds captivating beyond words and mine is the Yorkshire Dales. I can’t altogether account for it because you can easily find more dramatic landscapes elsewhere, even in Britain. All I can say is that the Dales seized me like a helpless infatuation when I first saw them and will not let me go. Partly, I suppose, it is the exhilarating contrast between the high fells, with their endless views, and the relative lushness of the valley floors, with their clustered villages and green farms. To drive almost anywhere in the Dales is to make a constant transition between these two hypnotic zones. It is wonderful beyond words. And partly it is the snug air of self-containment that the enclosing hills give, a sense that the rest of the world is far away and unnecessary, which is something you come to appreciate very much when you live there.' - Bill Bryson, Notes from a small island. From a tyke.
  10. Well done Frosty. I looked for you at the start, but didn't see you. Did the 10k in 52:19. So now perhaps you should consider Durban Ironman 70.3 - ? Russ.

    Always referred to them as 'radiograms', when I was a lad.
  13. Morning. I ran my first race as a Grandmaster on Saturday: Garsfontein Icebreaker 21k. Finished in 1:58. Chuffed. Life in the old dog yet ... . (Oh, plus free entry as a GM).
