A for me - 6:11 start

I'm doing IT!

ooohhh my goodness - do it / don't do it - this is still one tough race which I don't think will disappear off the calendar (way tougher than the Burger). I can also roll out of bed and I'm at the start :-)

i will take one as well

cool - then you can pull me to my sub-3!

In D - what is the change I can go sub-3 in this group?

Are we going to do another 99'er training ride soon? What about Saturday?

Nice meeting you - I must say I'm not a fan of the stars group - well done to you guys that pulled the rest ;-)

ps - I'm hoping for a D seeding - but probably gonna end in E

Hi All, When is the Argus seeding out? Once out post your seeding here so we can see who is riding together

MTB_Roadie - I think we ended up in same bunch from about Fairview (sounds like that). What colours and bike do you have - I was the guy on the Merida with Allan Gray kit. Helped as much as I could into the wind until we caught the rest of the D-E bunch (Dale and kie). But as you say - lots of wheel suckers.

i think this is a common problem among cyclists - I'm allowed only a couple of selected races :-)

is this the 105km? http://www.pedalpower.org.za/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/105km-long-route-map1.jpg

nobody really knows what the route is gonna be (some very bad organizing I think)- I heard we are riding R44 after kromme rhee

myself and Michael cycled on the R44 on Sunday and a guy tried pulling Michael off his bike - he was riding behind me. When we shouted at him it looked like he wanted to pull out a knife - so we cycled like mad to get out of there! I'm gonna look for some pepper spray or something similar to put in my back pocket!!!

nope - but you can join me in F. Think the F guys are gonna kill me

splat - r u riding in seapoint area - we have a group that leaves from point gym every Tuesday and Thursday - PM me and I will include you on the invite I send out every week (if you want to join us)

please don't wait for me - If I'm not there 5:45 go without. We have a telephony roll-out tonight at work that might go into the early hours of tomorrow - we only start at 8pm tonight and should be finished at 11pm...... but you know how IT things go!!!

so then it is just a Dale

Hi Dale/Wannabe See there is a gale (or is it Dale - lol) forecasted for Saturday - if we are only 3 or 4 I might drop out and do something up north - you guys 100% sure you going out?
