Kempton Benoni area

Went for a short ride with the wife on the East rand this morning. Whats with this cold miserable weather in Gauteng and the wind!!! Not nice

GREAT NEWS

Easier route and according to me was only 92km. Even me averaged 31km/h.

Did not have a great day on the bike but still managed a 3:49. Man, that wind on the Krugersdorp highway got to me. Was on time for a 3:20 when I got onto the highway. First uphill was fine, then it was over for me. Laboured back to the finish. What a pity that the TV coverage in the afternoon did not show more of the people that make the day, the social riders. Once again very well organised and supported by the spectators

Weather not look great for the weekend. Rain with 27km/h wind Eish!! Hope it will change dramatically as we get closer to race day

Point is, he should not have doped. He (knowingly) had an unfair advantage over persons not doping. Cheat. If caught out, ban person for life.

Bloody moron. The way cyclist are being caught out, I might end up being awarded the gold medal for 2011 Argus and 94.7. This is so bad for the sport I love so much.

Wife is still at work, so I am passing the time on the internet. Thought I would see what's happening on CSA web site and in paticular registration for 2013 seen that it is a fiasco every year. I noticed that registration for 2013 is open. First had a look at the conditions for registration and cost. Was I supprised to see that the cost for a social rider like me is still R75.00 plus R75.00 for affiliation to Gauteng. The best part was that I need not belong to a club anymore!!! WOW Thought I would try out the registration and within 5min had myself and wife registered and a printout of our registration. Im shocked It has never been this easy. to whoever suggested the changes and implimented it.

Jip.

N groep - begin 07:27

Come on Champion Chip. When will times be up. Not even a total of 1000 riders in both distances and no times up yet E mailed them and no response

Starting in I group

Will have an entry available. My son cannot do the race. PM me if interested

So it is over finaly. Sad day in the history of cycling. Bad for the reputation of cycling. Bloody dopers

We could not have asked for better weather. Did the race from C group. Bettered my previous time (8 years ago) by 30 minutes (3:34). Wife and son's picked me up at the finish and spent the day on the beach at Umhlanga. Road surface was a bit rough somewhere along the route but other than that, thanks for a well organised race

Plenty of climbing. Durban is not downhill from PMB. It's a mith.

Another delima. Have paid to have my number delivered to me by courier. Now truck drivers are on strike. No numbers yet.

RIP Agree with the murder charges. I know this will not bring him back, but something should be done to people having drinks and driving on our roads.

When will we have a race without wind???? This year is bad. Did the 60 with my wife. Just as well otherwise I would still be waiting for her. Thought the race was well organised. Agree that the start could have been a bit earlier.

C group See last batch (P) only starting at 07:28 Eish

EL for me

Scotty, should have taken note of your comment. Eish, it is even worst than 94.7, Argus, Amashova,...... Started in the B group and it went well untill we hit the first drag about 3km into the race which ended 60km further in Devon. I'm not a great climber, so ended up doing 90km solo battling with the drags and wind. This is not a race for social riders unless you enter as a team riding together. Thumbs up to the organisers. The route was clearly marked and the marshalls very friendly. Will I do it again. Maybe the shorter route next year or get a few friends together to do the race together.

Entrance fee expensive, but full road closure and the spectators make it worthwile. It is the additional costs to get myself, my wife and 2 bikes there thats getting to me. My 10th next year, so I cannot miss the race. Following year??, well time will tell

Entry done. The new process is awesome and painless. Well done organisers My 10th next year
