Hard hitting and honest. Tells it like she sees is it without all the PC niceties including shedding the bloated staff complement. https://www.sowetanlive.co.za/news/south-africa/2019-10-30-eskom-board-member-slams-interference-says-there-should-be-load-shedding/

I've had shocking service from a LBS on the East Rand who's mechanic used to wrench for one of the pro teams. No bike shop repair/maintenance is perfect all the time and can make errors on occasion. but its how often and the manner they deal with it that sets them apart.

Last person over the line in just over 6 hours, that's vasbyt.

Fixed.

Road race results are out. http://www.racetec.co.za/featured/

3rd place in 60km is a youngster I sometimes ride with. Last year he came 3rd in the 34km distance.

I was close to the start on my road bike, then decided after my comment and avoid any physical harm to me to put safety first and hightail out of there.

Did my drivers renewal without any glasses, but for reading and close up I use them. Frustrating sometimes when I forget them and browse bike shops but cant see the prices properly.

Is there a bike park like last year.

Spacers on a cluster are there for a reason.

Best year in a while, save for getting a cold a few times. Usually I get whatever strains of flu are going around which end in complications and lengthy periods of no riding.

LoL moment of madness comment on my part. Having been involved ( if fixing potholes, painting warnings at dodgy sections and been route marshal counts) previously with your race i should have known better.

Do you have the phone on the bike or pocket.

The fact that there's free flowing traffic through robots, stop signs etc, a seeding race for CTCT and 947 then beer and boerrie rolls at the end which I will not get with otherwise. #hopethatanswersyourquestion.

R2500 is what I paid.

Following on from been prepared on the Amashova thread, if the wind continues like it does today would switching to an e-bike count.

Road seeding is out.

I'll take my smack like a man.

Sorry Frosty that came across as harsh, I know its well organized and entry fees go to good cause. I am doing the road race though.

Nah, not doing it. I ride the trails regularly enough for free using my own water and supplements. Not sure if Carnival charge for hosting it but race cant cost much, except for having metro on hand for the road cross over from Carnival to Dalpark, timing (I can time myself), medals (don't need, don't want) throw in a couple of WP's with coke, energade or water, the trails are all open and can be ridden anytime.

You should be fine, the trails are flat and fast with no technical sections.

Not a comment you would expect from someone who is tasked to steer the ship. At a media briefing yesterday to explain why load shedding has returned and what Eskom plans to do about it, Mabuza responded to a question on whether he is the right person for his job by explaining that he didn’t apply for it and was there due to the decisions of President Cyril Ramaphosa and Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan. “Am I the right person? I would have applied for the job if I had the qualifications and I wanted it. I didn’t apply for this. South Africans and the president and the minister must make the call,” he said. https://citizen.co.za/news/south-africa/load-shedding/2193152/eff-calls-for-admittedly-clueless-mabuza-to-go/
