    Thread appears to be going a bit wobbly, some good pro and cons mentioned but i have entered, (will be nice to win 1st prize) as i believe one can also get the "masses" on bycyles and in doing so identify the talent they need to, is to have someone they can relate to, and no a Malcom Lange or even a Robbie Hunter will not do it, but rather a Philemeon Radebe or Sipho Mbuse will.
  2. You might not have a nice car, but you sure got nice pics
  3. In action on the MTB bike With the road bike, me on the left, JJ my cycling rival partner on the right scotty2007-07-10 08:23:29
  4. The guy in the middle in yellow appears to have lights for dangling earings.
  5. The agreement earlier with CGC was that for 2007 R75 cyclosport would cover all diciplines road, MTB, track and BMX and that 2008 one would need separate lic (at least that is what our club informed us). Now things appear to have changed, without proper communication. Not very well organised. Having said that at R150 direct afilliation would still work out cheaper than paying club fees, club kit and for a lic.
  6. rad006 contact Noelene Puntis regarding lic. Oh and clear out your inbox.
  7. Late i know but someone only sent me these pics recently.
  8. The western cape does not count as international territory (although they play rugby as if they come from Bellarus)' date=' neither does Benoni. [/quote']
  9. Yup, if you have a good LBS that knows there stuff. I do quite a bit myself but i have a good relationship with my LBS for the more difficult stuff.
  10. Dont forget to also include the Hill Climb GW champs into that mix 1hill .
  11. Dros is my only motivation for doing it under 3.30 , otherwise i would be in the cut off risk category.
  12. Not much they can do bar at least having at least rolling road closure which i dont believe they will be able to do.
  13. Got the bike, aint got the speed. Perhaps a sub 3.30
  14. Would rather say it does not pay if you get caught.
  15. It was earlier rumoured Hunter had not yet signed, when in fact he was one of the 1st.
  16. Enjoy IanJ, put all those Sugarbush sessions to good use and keep us updated with ride reports.
  17. I think it falls on the same weekend as crater cruise, at least it did last year.
  18. Yes Wannabe, some cyclist underestimate that last stretch (like me on my 1st time) and if there's a wind from front it can be quite tough.
  19. Looking at the Supercycling website, the 4 main international stories are.... yup, all dedicated to doping.
  20. Most likely not, but still time to change my mind. Problem with this type of race is that your seeding is inflated, then when you have to tackle more difficult races, you battle to stay with the blue rinse grannies on shopping basket bikes. Rather do races such as Vodacom, Dome2Dome or Monte to get a more accurate seeding.
  21. It will be difficult to manage the handing out of colour medals (such as Comrades), the 1st ten is easy enough as this is across the line, but not for 3 hours as even in the last batch, which leaves 2-3 hours after the 1st guys get off there are sub 3's. Perhaps rather issue gold, silver and bronze certificates based on the official timing.
  22. Not overated in my opinion, but ability to multiple vote will skew the results.
  23. At the price of biltong in the shops a few kg worth will cost almost as much as sponsoring Tiny in the cape epic.
