  1. It's that time of year again.... Any other interesting metrics to predict a sub-3 94.7?
  2. Great race, well organised and a lovely route (but dry and dusty!). There were a few hold-ups on singletrack with the ladies but that's racing for you. I found the race a good balance of climbing, single track and gravel road. Already signed up for round #5. Just one small moan / request: PLEASE can we have WATER at the finish?
  3. = whole bag of BANANAS
  4. A sporting LEGEND!
  5. Cyclists seldom use Samurai Sword when possessing Spez Swat.
  6. Ben Dover, at your service.
  7. great race report; amazing photos. on my bucket list.
  8. Go WHERE, exactly?
  9. Noted, thanks v much. Rode wilro 114km from CL group over the weekend and survived in the absence of anything resembling a bunch or a draft. Definitely want to get closer to some peeps willing to share the load.
  10. Thanks very much for the info. MTBer trying to get my head around road cycling seeding...so much more complicated than it needs to be. All is forgiven, saseeding.
  11. Does this race count towards 947 seeding? Thanks in advance
  12. Seriously, dude? That's a MEAN bit of bike parts shopping. Totally awesome. PLEASE give us some feedback on those carbon rims and the ohlins fork. ####, that's proper wishlist stuff.
  13. I've bought from them. They are pricey but they are mementos of a race with your racing partner at the time. Look, these are probably the only photos your grandkids will ever see of you cycling because stuff that's stored digitally invariably over time goes missing, drives get stolen or corrupted, password gets lost, format / software changes, you change jobs...
  14. Pack warm clothing whatever the weather forecast says and keep your powder dry for that HUGE mother####### of a climb in the marathon and ultra. Flipping tough race...glad i'm not riding with my current levels of unfitness
  15. Soooo, with summer having started in Jhb, i was thinking that i was going to get through this winter without getting sick or taking antobiotics or even spending a day feeling crappy. THEN, the Dentist prescribes me a course of antibiotics (for inflammation in my gums, FFS). "It's OK", i thought to myself, it'll be over in a week...and i stopped all exercise (just to be safe). Finish the course of ABs and i notice that my stomach is a little tender. "Just a side-effect of the ABs", methinks and just about simultaneously with that thought i get whacked with the stomach bug from hell that's going around. Even missed nissan race on sat that i was properly amped for. Like a 5 year old, i had to take a day off work for it and - get this - i still feel like crap. I fully understand why women complain about morning sickness. Anyways, holding thumbs that the POS bug is now exiting the body finally (pun intended).
  16. not needed for a GRID, TBH. The guys in ThornVille (aka Botswana) ride GRIDs and they don't have any issues
  17. Some say that the muishond is the smell of victory...
  18. Some say he used to be called THE BADGER and that muishond is not his real name
  19. or the ruling party losing 5 large metropoles?
  20. Wahaaa......Hermanus has (used to have?) those old biddies body-boarding with old school WOODEN boards...come rain or shine, summer or winter. For the final hardcore cred, they add the pink hoodie with flowers
  21. Sponsors' logos on an Olympic bike - WTF?
