Woofie

Never tried them as overripe. The only ones I have had are ones that I can see wont be fresh in a day or two. When I wrap them up they arent brown or anything. The brown bananas do simply make the best banana bread though.

mmmm.... banana bread

Remembered about this the other day. Just ate a frozen treat..... Yum

You skipped Tiekie today So lets do the hill

But even with my winter statement. The car will never beat a ride home even on hot summer days. When you are moving on the bike your temperature is fine because you sweat. A long stop at the robots or up a steep hill makes you drip a bit but just think about the good you are doing for yourself. Even in winter, put a few extra layers on and you are set. I havent had a car for the past few weeks, was letting a friend use it and I have had to cycle in this rough cape town weather we have been having. The first week was tough. But then you man up and learn to deal with it. You shower and change at work anyway so what does it really matter if you are wet anyway? If you sit in any traffic in the car chances are is that your commute is quicker / or not much longer than sitting frustrated yelling at the taxis cutting you off. Just one day back in the car opens up a can of road rage inside of me and I feel so miff from getting upset for no good reason. So get on that bike and forget about the car.....

Its winter?

So true. Even a 2 week break will set you back into dead legs first day.

Although I would much rather prefer real steel spikes.

Pity they couldnt just add more people into the race. I know the last few groups will start in the heat but at least they get to ride. Logistics gets more difficult with more people but a steep 470 bucks pays for that logistics anyway..... If they changed the date earlier in the year as well (Lets say Jan or December even) you will get a extra hour of sunlight in the morning so the front guys could kick off really early. But I have to agree with them though. This is the most fair method ultimately.

and again...... bliksem

duplicate post somehow....

I also heard it is going to use the stadium...

Why so narrow? It has been proven that wider tyres dont really have more rolling resistance. You also have more comfort and you will be able to run lower pressures compared to the more narrow ones. 23c gp4000's are probably your best bet all around...

I saw you having that pic taken with that big argus thing! That was right before I stopped to have a pee. I had given up on riding in L group with the monster crashes we were having. I have done the whole stop everywhere thing before and I must say that it is really awesome to do it.

maybe thats how he rolls...
