  1. Don't know much about MTB and only did the 10km with my group of kids but i LOVED it and will definately go to Cullinan on 18 July for the next one!! See you there.
  2. I have a small group of kids i ride with twice a week and on Saturday we did the short 10km Nissan Tyger Valley race and i have to admit MOUNTAIN BIKING IS *&%$#^& HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was more tired after riding there doing the 10km and riding home than after the Kremetart!!! I can still hardly walk!! I also loved being the funrider being passed by the front guys and seeing how fast they go! If it wasn't for one of my little boys yelling "ALTIE OPPAS" Jock Green would have ridden right over me in the last 2km. IT WAS FANTASTIC and i just want to say anybody that did the Epic really is THE sh*t!!!
  3. Zipp It, i do however understand that in jhb it won't work because of traffic, i will also get angry if i have to sit behind a following vehicle that's going 30km/h for 10km but in our case it's not like this at all.
  4. ZippIt, On the roads we train a following vehicle is absolutely essential. The stretch of road where we have the problem is only 3km long before we turn off onto the open roads. The roads are very quiet but we need the vehicle because trucks come along at over 100km/h and one of our club members was killed in this way a few years ago. No following vehicle, no ride!!!
  5. I just have one more thing to add. Everybody allways says don't lose your temper, bla bla bla but it's so difficult when you're tired and on the edge of bonking and somebody comes along and insults you when you're doing nothing wrong. I think it's a miracle these things don't escalate into much worse situations more often!
  6. I have to say that we don't have problems with cars often as most of the people in the area knows our club well and recognise the following vehicle. That is what made this incident so amazing. We were only 7 riders all riding in single file and this man completely lost it. We're passed by many cars and they never complain and this guy was bursting a vein in his head. The squirt of water was uncalled for but that was seriously all that happened that was out of line from our side, no zap signs nothing/!! My big question is: THE OLD MAN GOT SO ANGRY AND STARTED RIDING LIKE A POEPOL, WHAT IS MORE DANGEROUS? US RIDING ALONG IN SINGLE FILE MINDING OUR OWN BUSINESS OR HIM RIDING IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE SWERVING INTO ONCOMMING TRAFFIC TRYING TO PUSH US OFF THE ROAD. I say again, it's the first time in months something like this happens to us so all in all i'm not that peeved, just amused.
  7. This morning on our way back on our club ride a CRAZY OLD MAN WITH A VERY RED FACE came from behind and despite our following vehicle proceeded to scream profanities at us while passing. (I think he forgot to drink his blood preassure pill) One of us then made the mistake of squirting his car with water, he then decided it would be clever to brake in front of us and to try and push us off the road. He was so busy looking at us over his shoulder that he clean forgot to check the oncomming traffic!! He WAS ALL THE WAY IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE!!! He then swerved back into his lane and i think that was when his wife told him 'PAPPA STOP DIT NOU' INCREDIBLE, luckily nobody got hurt!
  8. I train at Klapperkop at least once or twice a week diffirent times of day and often alone and there are so many runners, cyclists, etc there i feel very safe! there is also a lot of police cars driving up and down. Touch wood nothing has happened there in a while!
  9. Wha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, en ek het gedink die hub het bietjie boring geword!!!!!
  10. Skokkend!!
  11. Dit Suck!! Wie was dit Spidey? Ek ry deesdae BAIE in waterkloof omdat ek 'safe' voel daar. Wys jou net..
  12. What makes this look very bad is that Erica admits to taking the wrong channels during selection (At the meeting held last wednesday) and now The vice president of the CSA says that they support them with their decisions. What he is actually saying then is that they support them in making the wrong decisions etc etc... I would have hoped for something better to come from the CSA but then this is South Africa and actually i shouldn't be shocked!!
