Any advice on getting a stripped cleat screw out of the cleat?

Ride mag published a stat that almost 40% of the 2012 Epic field rode Spez. From what I've seen the last two years I'd suspect sani2c to be the same. When it comes to popularity with stage racers Spez is unrivalled. And no, I don't ride one.

No Barry! You shouldn't have spilled the beans on thehub. You just completely ruined your chances of a slot on Oprah!

If he wants to compete again Tygart would want full disclosure. Doesn't bode well for JB.

Yeah, that has been very quiet of late. Expected at least some word especially after Tygart said that it'll be concluded before the end of 2012. I wonder whether they spoke about JB during the interview.

I bought a spinning bike just a bit more than a year ago and I have used it extensively. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get to spinning at the gym as much after my son was born last year January and after Virgin Active got the new spinning bikes I didn't want to go anyway. Very convenient to just jump on after work for an hour and get some high intensity work done. It does get boring though so I try and alternate between some Sufferfest videos and Jamie Morton spinning mp3's. I'll start going to the gym to spin again this year, just to mix things up a bit. I got the spinning bike at a really good price so it was much cheaper than buying a trainer and new wheel. I'm actually considering getting an IDT now so that my wife and I can train together at home. One on the spiining bike and one on the IDT.

How comfortable your saddle is is very dependent on your bike set up as well.

Frankie quit after USPS did not renew his contract. Do you really think he never doped? Betsy knew LA doped and then saw him become a multi-millionaire and national hero while her husband didn't even get a contract. You can understand why she is bitter. I really do, but I still don't care much for her. You open yourself up to these kind of things when you think you are the arbitrator of the truth. Same thing with Walsh. He was right all allong and we can give that to him. But, no one would even have known who he is if it wasn't for LA. The controversy around LA made many of these people and will continue to do so for a very long time.

"No holds barred" they say... Oprah Winfrey will speak exclusively with Lance Armstrong in his first no-holds-barred interview. Armstrong will address the alleged doping scandal, years of accusations of cheating, and charges of lying about the use of performance-enhancing drugs throughout his storied cycling career.

The taxi driver claims he didn't see him, yet they were both travelling in the same direction. That's the reason why you always check your mirror and your blind spot before turning. It's an accident that could've been avoided had the driver simply turned his head slightly before turning. This just again goes to show that regardless of who is in the wrong the cyclist will always come of second best. You should go on the road with the assumption that all drivers are idiots. This still feels so unreal. Incredibly sad.

So I rode the trails behind the casino. I enetered from the back on the other side of the golf course on the road leading to Fairy glen. Some really awesome riding! Didn't do all of it as I had some brake issues, but that's now sorted so I'll be going back for more.

Hulle se vir my die wind word in PE gemaak maar in Worcester getoets. Lekker winderige dag hier maar ek het soos n mamoet gevreet die laaste paar dae so ry moet ek ry.

Yes, I did use the search function and yes, there are old threads on this but nothing much that is terribly helpful. So, i'd like to ask the question again; Please direct me towards some awesome trails in Worcester. I know the Epic comes through here often but I'm assuming that's through private land. Any help would be much appreciated.

Christmas with the folks in Gariep dam before heading down to thw cape. Superb Karoo riding!

Wiggo is the poms' favourite son. They won't let a "fake" pom lead their team. It's sad for Froome but he's still under contract for two years and while he's there he'll ride for Wiggo. Money talks. With Froome riding in support of Wiggo Sky will once again be a force to be reckoned with. Nobody will just walk over them. That being said, with the likes of Contador, Purito, Valverde and Schleck along with ( the very disapointing 2012 competitors) Nibali and the Evans and Tejay combo there I'm expecting a lot more action. My money will be on Contador, but you can't write of Wiggo. He's got a strong team behind him and he still is a classy rider.

I don't really think that's an issue. He's their dad, so he's their hero whether the ASO lists him as a winner or not. "We all know who won those Tours". So will they.

Rooiberg is tough. I haven't done the race but I've done some riding in the area. Monster climbs and very sandy! So... should be great fun!

That happened in 2011. The Tour de France in general was a lowlight for me. Sky was dominant and Wiggo deserved the victory but the complete inability of any of the other contenders to compete made it boring. The end of Team 360Life is also right up there. EDIT: and it's Wouter Weylandt

Bumping this one... Haven't had a chance to throw my tantrum. So here goes; That really sucks! Lion Man was my first ever race. Still rode with my wife and we were super proud of our 3 hour 35km. It was also an awesome camping weekend with great mates! An annual tradition on our social calendar. So, from my side, here's a big screw you tot the new management.

Got caught napping this year and couldn't get an entry. Next year I'm there! Should be warmed up for this one after sani2c.

Would love to hear more about the Pienaars River singletracks! Dropped you a PM.

Been riding with Oakley Jawbones since they were released... which is roughly 2 years (I think). I won't ride with anything else. Ever.

That's not a bad deal!

Awesome photos! See, I would pay R50 to download a high res image of that. Much better than the Action photo stuff were used to. Unfortunately I didn't make the cut. A team mate did though. I'm liking that facebook page. Hope to see this photographer at more of our events!

I'm there! Even though this is not the toughest race around, it is not to be underestimated. I've made that mistake a couple of times...
