Wannabe

I have a Sram 11-34 cassette with lockring. Lots of life left on it.

Not a Legal Eagle myself, but what I know of the system is that the SAPS MUST open the charge, they cannot refuse to do it, even if it is in a different SAPS area to where the incident took place. And if the perp laid a charge already, his information is available and he can easily be found.

C'mon guys, no need to be so nasty to a Newby. If you can't afford him a decent response or help with his question, just move on.

That's strange. I did not have a helmet sticker on but has received a mail from them with 17 pictures. A few almost identical, but also a few nice ones.

You must be as hoot around the Braaivleis fire.

Jip, twice every year at the turn of the season. Get yourself a decent Antihistamine, take as prescribed till the symptoms clear.

I still have the long sleeve shirt we got (or purchased, too long back to remember) claiming it to be the "Tour of Storms" Who else hung onto this piece of memorabilia?

@ChrisF, Those two lovely ladies on their equally lovely e-bikes also passed me on Smits, but both was cycling at a steady pace, just faster than I was moving and took every precaution to pass other cyclist in a safe manner. It was just that plonker on his supercharged e-mtb that behaved like an ass, and he's the one who stuck in my mind. As you said, it's not the bike but the person controlling it. I had a quiet word with an older gent doing his 34'th CTCT to be more cautious, as he incapable of keeping his line and kept on forcing himself into spaces that did not exist without moving forward in the bunch.

Well done Jacques. You da Man.

Going up Smits, we had an oversized plonker on his E-Mtb come racing up on the right-hand side gravel section, shouting "Make Way, Make Way". At this time, we were quite a sizeable bunch made up of 2D to 2F riders spread out over the width of the road. This arse almost took out a few riders with his wide handlebars as he veered into the road to avoid the vegetation on the side of the road as well as holes and other obstacles. He got sworn at by quite a few riders, me included, but he just continued on his merry way, endangering other people on his way to position 9900. Then going past between the trees after Cape Point Reserve where the road surface was so bumpy, the youngster Infront of me decided that it was a good idea to take both his hands off the handlebars in his best Sagan impersonation. He got a quick "Don't be daft, keep your hands on the bars" from me. (OK, this is the censored version). Going down after Suikerbossie, just before Twelve Apostel Hotel, a few guys in the middle of the road touched wheels and went down hard. At this stage we were pedaling hard and in excess of 50km/h, and we just managed to avoid the tangle by going to the right. This could not have had a good result, and I hope that the injuries were not too severe.

Don't forget the Livestrong bands and that you had to pay a feasible sum for the dubious honor to share a 15 second "audience" on the road with the Uniballer. Lol. Quite sure some of you fell for this one.

Did the Number Collection thing early-ish this am, found parking quite easily. Picked up my Number, Water Bottle, Ghost Pops and Magnesium Fizzy's and took a stroll through the hall. Made two turns to make sure I did not miss anything. (and I did not miss anything that piqued my interest) Expo was really bleh...... How I miss the Good Hope Centre days when you could spend half a day wandering around, shopping for REAL SPECIALS.

Same here. Hell, if the wind blows to hard when I wake up, I just might stay in bed with the Missis.

Roux'ie, there is at least another 10k life left on that tire. Lol.

I would say that this was not done by a Mtb'er. This trail traditionally was used by runners/dog walkers/pedestrians and now all of a sudden it got blocked on request of the new owners/developers. Someone must have stripped his mo*r and decided to vandalize the lock.
