  1. Northcliff Hill is awesome. Just on 5km.
  2. Nespresso is the only way to go. Clean, fast, easy to use. Lots of different "flavours" too. No ride starts without an espresso.
  3. Shave. And you don't really need a reason. But if you do.... Because it looks cool and everyone does it.
  4. Sorry to hear. This sucks. Seriously. It basically means that you con now only train when others can. What's the advantage of working flexi-hours. Are there any safe places to ride in the Centurion area?
  5. To be very honest, the first 3 days of this year's tour have been beyond boring.
  6. Since December I've dropped 12kgs. Almost back to racing weight at 80kg. I'm 1,83m tall. Ask me how!!

  8. Simple answer - you're over-trained. You need to check your resting HR every morning. My guess is it'll be elevated indicating that you're doing too much. REST!!!

    ACTION PHOTO

    The cost per photo is spot on in my opinion - particularly when you view it in the perspective created by other Hubbers in this thread. The problem with Action Photo though is the quality of the images. 90% of the ones I've seen are hopelessly over exposed and often the angle sucks and the composition is crap. Go check out www.adventurephotos.com
  10. so CSA has managed to get Team Europcar (entire team), Tyler Day (top south african rider) and a team borgus rider thrown off the plane, due to a ticketing mess up.. and then they say its not their problem and abandon the guys at Airport? The CellC Tour of South Africa is an embarassment to cycling in South Africa!!
  11. Not a chance mate!! I was in the Melrose Arch Concept Store last week looking for CO2 "pump" and bombs. R 210-00 vs R 120-00 for other brand at LBS.
  12. www.kineticgear.co.za are arranging a monthly night trail run on the 1st Wednesday of every month. Check it out!
  13. Store's open!! and pics posted. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=171751936191958&set=a.171751806191971.35096.166007896766362&pid=388840&id=166007896766362
  14. NCR but Groenies related.... Anyone know about the Trail Run at Groenies on Sunday 5th December? Heard about it but I can't find any details online....
  15. SUUNTO all the way!! Especially because he can add the footpod for running.
  16. Why not join the herd next year?
  17. I also saw the back of the race for the 1st time - "shooting" the cows, and I wish the goodwill everyone showed could translate to the behaviour of motorists also. Loved the guys in the "swimming pool" off Witkoppen. Loved the dancing girls at the waterpoints Loved the ad hoc helpers who started helping to tow the ice-cream bikes. You guys rock!
  18. There were actually 270 CHOC Cows! They all finished except 1 who crashed the ice-cream cart going down Jan Smuts. Broken collar bone and a couple of ribs (I think broken arm as well).
  19. Where's the "like" button?
  20. It's ridiculous and makes no sense at all. Last minute hotel rooms are cheaper, last minute flights are cheaper, why not last minute race entries. Every race organiser wants to brag about their numbers and the size of their race - why not make it easy for spontaneous folks who decide the night before (or the morning of) the race to join in the fun? Other folks - like me spend heaps of time travelling and can't, for business reasons, plan races too far in advance!!
