Neverfit

I get your argument, and agree, in part, with your point of view. The bold section though is an assumption. The "qualifying" factor is not your income - but your skin color. If it were to benefit the poor/needy - then let THAT be your entry point, not your race.

The reason it is a bad move, is because they are using race as a divider. In our current political climate, everything is polarized as white vs black vs colored. Take the color out of it. I would much rather them design the business model as a using a % of the investment to be used for actual tangible development. Build schools in rural areas, build clinics, build houses, sponsor transport etc. Whatever the most needy (as the plan is alluding to "benefit") needs, fill that gap. We have enough over eager politicians, stay our of politics and muddying the water with ongoing race issues. It's the same as someone taking 1000 pictures of them helping someone - it's more to do about your own image than the person you are helping. If you want to really help - as a company - build something people can use.

I'm definitely maybe almost certain of my team...

My next investment for cleaning cassette's and whatever else needs a cleaning... http://www.labotec.co.za/new-range-price-competitive-ultrasonic-cleaners/

I did not like the 22km loop we started with...boring and thick grass for 80% of the route. Once we turned on the 54km loop it was back to the fun side. I really enjoyed the ride...cramped and suffering up the hills but all worth it. I expected the punisher to be an extension of the 54km.. Won't do the same 22/54 punisher again, and rather enjoy the 54km. A Lot less bottlenecks all round and less people on route. Can't complain about traffic and the odd bottleneck. Will definitely be back

Not sure about starting times, but as for parking - there are ample space at Marks park on the 2 sports fields. Get there with some time to spare as the roads leading into Marks park gets pretty busy with only 2 entry points. There are normally some pigeon box safes to store your keys etc in. Get there early enough to enjoy the coffee and vie before setting of on the punisher. Going to be a long day out for the punisher....expecting some serious fun and serious climbing. Remember to take a bike light with..... it does help through the tunnels. Oh...and dry clothes for after the event...it gets very wet and very cold 5km in.... Most important - GO HAVE FUN AND BE SAFE

I had to re-link my Polar watch with the Disco app this week, and received a notification that Polar's support for uploads will be terminated end 2019. Does anyone else have some info on this... By the look of it, I will have to change to Garmin, or whoever remains supported and accepted, in order to accumulate the training points.

72km entry done and dusted..... now to get the legs to make it through the day!

Luckily only a fender bender....sure that would buff out...

Not AXE cool but also not camelbak with hairy legs and hidden socks uncool. Allowed to give the guy with the camelbak a chirp or 2 when no one is watching, but not allowed to be class president or fines master. If you can life with a few chirps... go for it.

I have some of the Red-E products, and they are really worth every cent. Wont buy something else. I stuffed up my car charger, NOT their fault, but they still helped me out with the adapter needed. Excellent service

Let me guess....this is the next big benefit of paying for a CSA membership... Instead of promising you medical insurance, we will provide you with a totally wicked, awesome BS armband,which, like us, does nothing.

I do have prescription glasses which I use for the bike and run, and that works pretty well... used to use normal frame and then decided an a pair of Oakley Flak 2.0 with the right lenses...made a huge difference in protection and comfort.

I have tried contacts for normal daily use...which did not end well... Might be worth it to give it another go.... Haven't even thought of contacts again Thanks

I am new to the swimming/sinking sport, and besides the normal handicap of being 15kg overweight and not having done any swimming for years, I wear prescription glasses. So here in lies the problem...if I take them off, I cannot see a whale swim past, never-mind spot a buoy at 200m Which goggles offer prescription lenses (I only found some TYR models in the UK) and where do I go for this in SA? It will not help me having the hydrodynamics of a brick...but at least I can then see where everyone is disappearing to
