  1. finish line pic of Clint sneaking in. Thanks JL Spirit Rider
  2. Apologies for getting back now only was away. 10 speed micro shifters Alex rims alu frame
  3. I have a Felt F85 10speed for R6500-00 if interested size 56(L)
  4. Just a name change now that Business Connexion and Telkom has finally reached a new name BCX.
  5. I have to reach 1200 points per week however with Discovery removing my TomTom from the system this is impossible yet they recommend to me to do some gym sessions using my heart rate monitor and running the park run. Still leaves me at 900 points only and how do I measure my heartrate when they DQ my device? Vitality races are a rarity in Gauteng and when you do find one they not linked to a timing company affiliated to Vitality. I mknow this is just a value add but somewhere along the line the company must question their integrity of endorsing TomTom devices only to eliminate it now. DV Response: ""Please remember that there are various ways to earning points towards your Vitality Active Rewards goal, such as completing parkruns, Vitality races, recording your steps and/heart rate using any of our compatible devices/app listed on: http://bit.ly/1TtKOZo Regards, DV""
  6. To all the cyclists wanting change within CGC why not attend the AGM and see for yourself what happens at the meeting and how a select few clubs manipulate the meeting and any proposal they not happy with to suit their club needs CGC can only be as strong as you the member want it to be as your involvement(You and your club) is vital to it's existence. EG. The three big clubs in CGC outvotes all the other clubs put together with their voting powers. ( X amount of paid up members gives you X votes) hence they will always out vote any proposal they not happy about. They is a few persons on the board trying their best for the sake of the sport Remember any club hosting an event must have finances to put it together and have manpower to ensure it is a success and herein lies the problem where "event organizers" come along offer the club a guaranteed fee to host the event in their name walk away after the event smiling. Just look at 94.7 cycle challenge with origins was with MCC I doubt they get close to half a million from the event compared to what the event organizer walks away with for hosting the event. At the end of the day MCC is happy with what they receive for minimal effort and the event organizer is happy with their share as well as a few charities benefitting from the event. Hoe sustainable is the CSI effort coupled to this event? who knows. Looking at PPA and the events they run one notices an immediate difference from start to finish especially with the CTCT event and the charities as well as the CSI programs they been running for years.
  7. 30000 target points met on Vitality already. and receiving full point allocation on Vitality active which gives me two smoothies per week for our group effort. Easy
  8. Running for ages.I have done 10 Comrades several Loskop, Om die Dam and Two Oceans and 100km races as well as cycle since 2003. 11 94.7 and Argus many other fun races Run on Mondays and Wednesdays during week cycle Tuesday and Thursday . On Saturday morning do your long run if not racing the Sunday thereafter get on your bike for your LSD. It works If you race on Sundays then cycle for 50km only on Saturday and run 10-15km on Sunday after your race. Mondays rest day. Depending on your race build up you will stop the one code for few days and concentrate on the build up of other . Not a fast runner at all Best Comrades 8H54min. Argus and 94.7 best times 3H12min. In my group of bandits I have some who have achieved the following: Comrades 8H35 and a 2H40 94.7 Comrades 8H46 and 94.7 of 2H50 a unique 8H59m58s Comrades and a 2H59m47S 94.7 The mind and body is a wonderful tool if used correctly BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT please get the buy in of your spouse on the training regime and the amount of crap they have to put up with once the bug has bitten. Enjoy
  9. Guys the youngster that was been shoved by the two guys was not suspended at all, Luthando who intervened in the spat was suspended and yes it is Chris from Prince Albert. Please note Chris Dusty and Luthando race against each other on a weekly basis (Westvaal and Bonitas). There is something missing from this article. Why was CSA adamant not to lift the suspension of Kaka and forcing a second court appearance? One wonders
  10. The sad part of this is that both Chris and Dusty know Luthando very well . Tyler and Kaka are good friends on and off the bike. What is strange is that Kaka gets suspended as well ( did he say/do something )that is not reported.
  11. I like to know what will happen to the officials at the event as most of them are CSA officials who do duties at all the major races. They also UCI license holders as is the team managers. This boils down to PPA not wanting to be sanctioned by CSA due to the rider levy charged for all races in the country. What other sporting code in the country has two bodies controlling a particular sporting code. Why should CSA sanction only the racing cats not the whole event? R6-00 per rider x 25000 riders. Makes you think
  12. You will qualify for your points still. I received my points for the Kudus 15km race on my vitality log
  13. PPA should simply become an affiliate of Western Province Cycling and pay their nomal dues as any other club/affiiate would do thus ensuring that CSA cannot take control of any event they host with the exception that they woud have to pay CSA the normal fees as per requirement for events they host. We all know PPA is the cash cow that was keeping CSA on the go at some stage. PPA should be seen in the same light as Comrades Marathon Association running the Comrades under the KZN banner and Two Oceans committee running the Two Oceans underWertsern Province Athletics who all belong to CSA. Thus PPA as and affiliate of WP Cycling who inturn are registered with CSA. CSA then has no right to control what PPA does as it is an affiliate of WPC and follows their rules and regulations. A few years ago ASA tried same trick with Comrades and Two Oceans.
