Personally, I think safety needs to be cut back quite a bit. People get used to it and take chances they wouldn't take if they didn't, for example, a harness. Look at the sky scrapers built in the 40's and 50's. They didn't have any safety gear and they didn't die daily. Then you also have the matter of Darwin....

Stay free or Kotex I rate

I was out of the game for 5 years - various reasons. I have had +/- 2months to train for the 94.7 and I was absolutely shattered. So in my case - more than 2 months.

Anyone know him? I'm sure he rode the MTB on the BMX as well.

Did you ride with a garmin or similar? They can give you official time from that. needs to be GPS though - not speedometer

Should've waited for me to come past - had spares and was asking everyone if they were ok.

Buy shimano. Or Avid, they have a built in safety feature of making a helluva racket, so other riders know you're coming.

Resurrection. So GoPro's was banned from being anywhere except your handlebars at yesterdays' 94.7. Why is that? What is the possible reasoning behind it? Besides it being a CSA rule ofcourse...

Man those are cool. Looking forward to sunday now

Sounds like a plan. Do you have any contact details there? Website seems to be down - or just company network giving grief.

If anyone wants to volunteer to help out with organizing this, please feel free to send me a PM - or do your own and tell us here about it.

Thanks for all the suggestions - now to take a recce drive out to the areas and have a look at the short steep crowd satisfying hill that will serve this purpose.

This will go well with my 29er specific bottle cage screws.

Part of the idea. Want to break it down into two categories only - geared bikes and SS. Whether you bring MTB or roadbike is up to you. Was thinking of maybe using a base weight for bikes of say 13kgs - any lighter and you sustain a slight handicap, over it and tough, its your loss

Thanks for the suggestions - keep em coming. Do you think people will go for this? Was thinking of maybe doing it every 2 months on a friday evening with an official challenge for the jersey taking place only once a year?

The reason I ask is because I've been toying with the idea of hosting a hill climb TT. Would the hubbers be interested in something like this? Winner gets a cycling shirt saying he/she won - and gets the only one in the country - and ofcourse they get to brag on strava

You can phone them up and ask the method of payment - I do this and whenever it is a cheque I wait for it to clear.

So basically - you want a family entry where the whole family suddenly can't do the ride? Very unlikely..

And of course we have fantastic weather today - roll on knock off time

To the guy riding the green on one rigid this morning on the dirt track opposite of the Boskruin shopping centre - thank you for spoiling my entire day. You had such a big smile on your face and looked to enjoy the ride very much - just made me want to turn the car around, call in sick and go for a ride. #thisiswhyweride

Thanks for finding the link

On the home page they are running a swap for any pedals and upgrade to thier at a discounted price - I checked, you can even swop a set of plastic pedals. EDIT: I just refreshed the page about a million times to try and get the link but the ad just isn't coming up. Run a search on the site I'm sure you'll find it.

Why not look at the anthems? Linden had a whole bunch and I'm sure they were selling XT models for +/-R19 000...

R1200? Eish eeess tooo much moooneeyy..

I get bored using an IDT, not so much on rollers - you fall over if you loose focus. Might be selling mine soon though, enjoy the road too much Based in joburg if anyone is interested.
