  1. Latrinus promised the online licencing will be in effect the next few days, do it online and pay no admin fee?
  2. Right PPA ban our top pro's. Show some balls.
  3. Tim B go and ride your MTB in Sedgefield please. I agree if I am in B or C (I think thats my seeding) I'll keep left. If I have a lead vehicle and cops I'll ride anywhere where I think its safe.
  4. Will they have marshalls in racing bunches?? The worst idea ever! How the Fk will I tell McLean in a vets bunch up Helsh where he must ride. Naas tried to be a marshall in the last summer league, just a pain in the ass. THis is so ridiculous, I cant believe they are so stupid. OK I'll marshall vets league, and the asshole that passes me will be out!
  5. GOOD DAY COLONEL. I have been a funrider for the last 15 years, but just as you in the MX sport where (i Think) you have a lot of experience, if you hear people that started recently, or never raced at a certain level, making comments that you think is stupid, you will probably tell them something. I think if the SA public had less of a funrider (inexperienced in racing) mentality we would have better and more pro's. Our racing caters for funriders, officials havent sat on a bike in their live, dad funriders try and make champions of their junior kids ... Before funrides SA had Ertjies, McIntosh, van Heerden, Benekes and a lot of others. I meant that league riders are the racing people, you are the guys that must sit in the gutter, that must follow a jump untill your lungs wanna burst. So u one of them. But how can a F or Z rider that never rides a gutter comment on the racing aspect! Like Popeye that thinks if a elite rider is an hour down he has rolling closure! It now seems that there were cops stopping cars before the bunch. That is a rolling road closure. Now Bellairs want to DQ those riders racing in a pro tour race in the top 10 behind cop cars.
  6. Nou hoe de vk hou jy my op die pad?? Ek kry nie n sent uit fietsry nie?
  7. Spinnekop for president! Popeye,(and David B) go win a league race before you comment further. Fkin funriders! Spinnekop I agree 100%, not bad for a TCS rider.
  8. THis is not so easy. 95% of Hubbers and race organisers have a funride mentality, they don't understand RACING. I stopped doing the league racing cause I think it's wrong to DQ someont that rides 10cm over the white line on a straight road. But to ride in the right hand yellow line on a blind corner is stupid. One of the pics is of the front 10 elites in a PRO TOUR race (Burger), surely they must have cop cars , comms in front of them to pull cars off. But if you dropped out of a sub vets bunch you're out of the racing, then stay left. The organisers is at fault here, why didnt they move the riders over if they are so concerned? It happened in their Tour de Winelands with David B team as well. They will say they cant police 100k's. If they knew racing they will know they dont have to. You have problems around the right hand bends, and if the wind blows from the left. THey could have traffic cones coming out of old Helsh towards the one lane on the left with marshalls policing. Which prize winners money will you now take away? Rolling road closure for the racing people is sooo easy, you have 2 cop cars in front of the bunch asking people to move over. David B DQ everyone but the top 3 in the break. But I'm sure it wont be good for your political career in cycling.
  9. David B, you should have rolling road closure for the racing bunches. You guys knew it happened at the Winelands where you were also involved. Riders you can't ride there around a blind corner, and those people like ORCA were all dropped , they should be on the left side. PPA show some consistency
  10. Naas you know how to be a poepol. You changed coaches every season the last 4 years, you train more "scientifically" than anyone on the Cape vets bunch. But you blow up every season after 3 months, or something happens. You can be one of the top riders in the country in your age group if you enjoy your riding a bit more. Bikemax, whats wrong with base? Or why did you make a comment about base and old school? Isnt that what the pro's are all doing over December and Jan? Popeye, wil jy nou bulte oefen na daai laaste 3 voor Swellendam?
  11. Nou net gan ry met een vd girls team members, my en pops se span is genooi vir n bring en braai by hulle guest house as dit reen, as hulle cancell gaan ek versteker suip.
  12. What about Ronel v Wyk, did she get the prize for most diplomatic rider, or sportsmanship award?
  13. pops, jy maak k*k, ek was 40min laat vir 94.7 na die drinkery die vorige aand, nou gelukkig start ons laaste, miskien moet ek maar die goet op die rugbyveld uitsort.
  14. Im so glad we're starting very late. Sleep longer. Will popeye keep up with his team? Maybe he crosses the line last on his own...ha, ha. Or is he in my team perhaps?
  15. I also want a Specialized like that!
  16. kempo, I agree, dont see why I must join PPA if I have CSA licence. I feel if I have a CSA licence I can ride league without PPA membership. PPA is seen as a "province" in CSA (as far as voting goes), I allready have a province, why do I need another one?? Will take it up at our meeting next weekend in JHB.
  17. Riis(born a month after the '96 Tour win) left and Scott (conceived on weekend Scott Richardson won National MTB in Jonkershoek in '93) Riis love sports, will start cycling (if he wants to) after primary school. Scott(big one, check the blue eyes) doesnt do the sport thing, but maths wizzkid.
  18. And HendrikS flying down Hanco and Mike Sowerby?? Daikin good chance too.
  19. nie alles op die huis, ek moet self blyplek, petrol daar bo, brekfis en so aan betaal. miskien kan jy my airport toe vat en kom haal, en die hubber girls daar bo kan my uitsort met blyplek
  20. en 2 van Boland. Ek is op die plane, sal fight om pad SA's te skuif. Moet ek nou 94.7 ry terwyl ek daar is? in my k*k shape? When do we want track and road champs, Ill talk with my W province colleagues to fight together. Boland also want the plan for junior worlds.
  21. Some good base miles for me. Erik kleynhans (Maties) won by more than 10 min over Oliver Munnik. Apparently not as well orgenised as previous years, esp DAY2 when we waited untill 4pm for bags to arrive. Almost scored free beers because of that. I didnt drink a lot as one of the aims were to lose some weight. On which website can I see Bigtime results??
  22. Bikemax, you rode vets last summer, were dropped so fast that you never saw any racing! At least with the subbies you can keep up. Looks like I need to make my 5th comeback in 5 years. So where will I ride, subs looks easier.
  23. I think the pimp was paid to silence Popeye...funeral arrangements to follow
