  1. How can you say that about the venue. I have done many races from this venue and this is the first accident that I know of. I always enjoy the races from this venue eventhough there are no timing and due to the low entry fee compared to other races. I have never felt unsafe on the various routes the organisers use from this venue. A friend of mine got taken out by a caravan in front of me(thankfully not serious). The driver came back from holiday, was tired from driving and forgot that the caravan is wider than his car. Accident. Cant blame organisers for that
  2. Crazy if you ask me, but hey, who am I to comment. If you do go ahead with this crazy ride, enjoy and have lots of fun
  3. Man this is the best read for some time. We serve an Awesome God
  4. Was wondering myself how to remove this sticky sticker
  5. Last year my bombs were confiscated on a flight from CT to JHB. This year I put it in my check in luggage without any probs.
  6. Nissan wanted to charge me R1000.00 for a roof light not working. Opened it up and adjusted the contacts and wholah - it's still working to this day
  7. Wife is very happy with her new Rudy. Bought glasses and got helmet for free
  8. A biokineticists will firstly evaluate your problem. If required he will refer you to a physio, but in most cases he will be able to help you
  9. See topic on biokineticist and rather go see one. A biokineticist will evaluate you and recommend problem related training
  10. I bought my wife a new Merida before the Argus. I ride a Giant TCR but I must say, the Meridas are good value for money. I was suprised how little these alu frames weighed. My wife is very happy with her Merida.
  11. And so the CAT3 bunch this time caught the A bunch Thanks for a very well organized race. Eish that uphill drag back to the finish line from where we joined the short route, got the better of me today BUT still managed to do beat my previous PB by 18 minutes
  12. No problem with the organization in our social group. Was seeded in the CL group but rode with friends in EL. Pace was hectic but no incidents and thanks to the guy on the motorcycle. Eventhough some cyclist at some stage crossed the white line, he was totally in control and no shouting to get back. (situation was not dangerous I must say) Must say I fail to understand why people ride licenced when they get caught by the EL group before SBR. Waste of money if you ask me. We passed a few C3 and C4 riders.
  13. From the day you are born, you live to die. Make sure you are ready for that, whether it is today tommorrow or at a ripe old age.
  14. I have been using my thule for about 5 years. I have become used to the bikes rocking in the rear view mirror. I have not had any damage to any of my bikes. I have a 3 rack carrier.
  15. The same question again. Was the race 99km. My computer shows it as 104km

    FAST ONE

    I knew something was wrong. Our bunch must have done the wrong route. Our route had continuous rolling hills, more ups than downs. Trust me, for us social riders this race was much tougher than the previous route.

    Never even got to a parking area with mud. We were diverted down a side road to park in. Parked, rushed to get ready to go to the start. looked for the official to give directions to where the start was but he had disapeared. Had to guess which way to go. Looked like the Dakar rally with cyclist going in both directions LOL. Fortunately went in the right direction just to get to the chaos at the start. Bunches were mixed due to bad, very bad parking arrangements. Please organisers, tell us if the parking is a problem. I allowed a hour to park get ready and get to the start. Needless to say I was late. The organisation on the route was good My wife only complained that 2 waterpoints in the heat wasnt enough. AND NO WATER AT THE FINISH. Think of the diabetics aswell please. WOW Times are up already Amazing Racetec
  18. A BB drop is very serious You will have to stop, risk loosing your bunch, dodge oncomming traffic in order to pick up your Black Berry In outa here
  19. Starting in L at 07:01 Up from R last year. Eish
