Phatman

A rare gentleman with a heart of gold. RIP. And thank you, for making a difference in a loved one's life when they were close to giving up.

First female over the line. No live feed, no fanfare on the Munga Facebook site, nothing. And the hub so busy arguing over whether the guys did the right thing that nobody noticed.

In what fantasy do you live that you think it's acceptable to run stop signs and traffic lights, ride multiple abreast etc?

Totally. There's nothing technical, just jeep tracks. You might go through one small area of deep loose sand though,just a few hundred metres.

Hi, Could you please give us a spec sheet which is a bit more detailed? Trail 5 fork (air or spring) , number of gears and any other info you may have at hand. Thanks

No point in taking this further. Doc Shaper suggests 2 weeks, cut and dried, shut the thread down and let's all go have a beer.

Eat Clen, Tren hard, Test the limits Anavar give up.

Your cat says it tastes like ass.

Um, no, you see, ah... This is a er, emergency meeting to discuss the financial challenges that we are experiencing. We, ahh, cannot discuss these items which are, eh, not on the agenda. These issues need to be discussed at err, a separate meeting for that purpose. We assure you our eh, valued member, that we are dealing with this um, internally. Right now we must uh, focus on our athletes' safety and focus on getting this insurance reinstated, as the safety and well-being of our athletes is CSA's primary main number one priority. We assure you that we remain committed to cycl... etc.

Pics or it didn't happen!

Thing is, this is SA Champs, and cycling is what CSA do. Paarl 6 was a privately organised event (to the best of my knowledge) and that ran beautifully, so it is possible.

This is SA Champs, not some minnow event. If they're using volunteers then CSA seriously needs to get their act together. There was a crash during this morning's team pursuit (Chrispin Fourie and Robin Harris fell hard) and the other team kept lapping and trying to squeeze between riders and medics as nobody could tell them what to do. The last straw for us was the MC saying "And it's umm... I'm not sure because I don't have my glasses on..."

Total lack of organisation, last minute rearrangements of schedule, no control of the track when crashes happen, and would someone please organise the guy on the mike a pair of glasses as he's clueless. They should have watched Paarl 6 to learn how to organise a well run track event.

Yes true, I should have said "timed sections".

Will probably take at most 10 minutes riding time to complete all the stages. Did the last one last year and I'd estimate 1-2km per stage.
