As a Lions supporter I'm happy to be proven wrong but I think the Stormers have got this one in the bag. Fleck has done a very good job of moulding them as a team and a number of their players are really shining.

Really enjoy it, best series on at the moment.

Doing the Carnival MTB short and road long, will be a good training ride for the 947, plus its right on my doorstep.

**Bump ***

Want to do as little road races as possible and all close proximity, Emperors, R4V around Sept then Carnival (although this one does not count for this years 947) and I should be good to go.

It is expensive but I need to do some seeding races, last one I did was 947 in 2015 and I don't want to start this years 947 way back. Another plus is that its quite close so I can cycle to the start and back after.

Explained quite well here, taller does not always mean longer and vice versa.

Cyclelab Boksburg did the MTB route on Sat, speaking to some of the guys that rode it the trail is looking good so now hopefully the rain stays away.

This was the first real tough team the Stormers faced, good win against a NZ side who had not lost previously but that's how you get to the playoff rounds, win your home games and a few away.

Doing the road race which will be my first 100k road race since 2015 947.

Nice bit of tar section in the beginning to let the race snakes get ahead, then plenty single track through forest section and some wide dirt roads. There is a drop off which can be quite tricky especially if wet, if unsure rather get off and push.

Lions Well played Sharks, hard to believe that they struggled against the Kings few weeks back, pushed the Lions the whole way this match.

Unreservedly fitting video, following the same route Barry used to take after working at the bike shop to Grapes.

The lady from Husky said it's better in the long run that they be split up, I know the St Bernard has a home, PE i think.

Bump, every bit helps.

Usually do my own marinade and seasoning but decided to give pre packed a shot.

Billions season 2

Watched the first, second not yet on our telly.

I think overall the women's standard and quality has increased this year. When I look at Theresa Ralph who in the past was runner up and podium she's out of top 10 in all the stages thus far.

Overlooking Kareekloof

Looking like a giant next to my mates Giant.

Not quite an Epic stage elevation..ok nowhere an Epic stage elevation but still quite a climb to the top of both radio towers in Heidelberg

Ireland have beaten the worlds no1 and 2 rankings, while Boks cant beat teams below them.

Not a dog but still in the St Patrick's theme.
