Why "Every Second Counts"? Haven't read it yet, but as I have it that is one of the less controversial books?

Love my Jawbones, they're awesome!! Won't ride with anything else... ever!

And it seems as if CAS doesn't rule in favor of the athlete too often... I'll care about this again after the Tour. Some awesome racing coming up!

We had our first sonar this week. We were told that my wife can train as long as she keeps her heart rate below 140. The problem, however, is not when you are on your bike, but when you get off... unexpectedly... face (or tummy) first. Oh, and congrats!!

The Cervelo looks funky but that Pina...

My team has been submitted!!! Frosty, you said you're sponsoring an ipad as a prize? or was it a playbook? Don't worry, I'm not picky! Had some tough choices, but I think I've made the right ones. Apologies to all the riders that have been left out of this prestigious team.

That's hot!! I want!

Then again, neither of the Robbies have outsprinted the likes of Cav or Petacchi this season (that I can remember). This may also have been a long shot?

That's impossible! Jens Voight doesn't eat breakfast, he forces it into submission! But really, that's awesome! You're a lucky man!

On the back of his Tour de Suisse form I'm sure Levi will be the leader. I like the fact that they're backing themselves for GC contention... probably hoping just for a podium though, but still. They're old but they're strong. Can't seem them sticking with Contador or Andy but a third may be possible. All the other 3rd place contenders are just as average as they are...

It all depends on the type of riding. The more technical and rocky it becomes the more suspension will come into play and will it make you faster. Over-simplifying here but imagine a road bike vs a full susser on tar (equal weight) and again on a rocky trail. Suspension only makes you faster when it is being used.

Sounds cool. Pity that it's Sundays only. We have a route that goes through that area, would be nice to add a bit of singletrack to the route. Will definitely check it out at some stage.

Many happy miles!!

Reba

Note that this is the 2012 model. Really hot bike!!

Awesome looking bike! Many happy miles!

How many kms can you do at Klapperkop? I'm assuming that the only way to link from Groenies to Klapperkop is via the R21, which is not the safest....

I have First Ascent, Specialized and Giordana bibs and I prefer Giordana by a country mile. The other two brands doesn't come close.

Silverback has lost the plot. Their new bikes are awesome and in a league of their own when it comes to value but it seems as if they have completely deserted their South African market. The fact that they aren't bringing in anymore Segmas and Modas are ridiculous, I know, but what's worse is that the Silverback 2011 range has 9 different 29er models (4 hardtail and 5 dual sus) and we're only getting 2 of these models in SA. For a South African company this is not on.

Note that you used the words "professional photographer". Action photo's photos could have been taken by a 10 year old... nothing special. I would be more than happy to pay for a good quality photo (like the Epic photos) but R50 for these photos are ridiculous.

You're kidding, right? You don't have to print, just take it and upload it. Its nothing special, its just a normal unedited photo. R50 is steep.

Ok, on het n google maps file gekry. n vriend het n Garmin Edge 305. Enieg manier om die file op die 305 te kry?

29er Dual Sus gets my vote. Nothing compares on the rocky stuff, whether it's an uphill or a downhill. Goes like hell when you put the hammer down and so comfortable that you can spend hours in the saddle. Love my bike!

Sal so maak! Sodra ons die roete kry... Anyone?
