  1. The Lions never promise to win anything and atleast they stick to what they don't promise. So' date=' is it better to promise and not succeed then to not promise and not succeed? [/quote'] At least the Lions are consistent year to year - unlike their blue neighbours

    Pedal Care

    Also with Alexander Forbes and have all my bikes (1 road, 1 TT, 1 MTB & 1 Tandem) coverd by them. Premium is < R200/month Also have it in writing from them that the bikes are covered for racing with not increase in premiums. Like Pantani tested them a few years back in Tour Durban - within a week had a full replacement staning in my lounge
  3. sorry for you mate this event is a fund raising event for Wildlands Conservation Trust - you knew that when you entered and you can see under the awards section of the website that there is no prize money (it's probably why you don't see more of the top riders there) if you don't have the time to raise sponsorship don't moan that you have to fork this over out of your own pocket. I entered the race last year so that left me plenty of time to raise a measly R300. I think that we should be grateful that we are allowed to ride there in the first place - remember it is a World Heritage Site and mountain biking is not allowed there at all, with the exception of the race congrats on your ride though - tough course so well doneGrantC2008-04-29 00:57:43
  4. Soloist with the compact gets my vote
  5. Fees Not the way I see it - you spend in the region of R200 at one of their shops to get a discount of R1000. Not bad
  6. C'mon - Im has to be better value for money than Comrades - going back for my 3rd IM this year (and will be doing my 8th Comrades as well)
  7. High - Riding the Paris - Brest - Paris in France GrantC2007-12-11 02:20:38
  8. I think they will - from Hillcrest (40km to go) they should be able to avg over 60km/h
  9. Use M&F I have my bikes under my all risks section of my home owners and the bikes are fully covered wherever they are, irrespective of what they are being used for (covered in racing)
  10. did it last year and doingt it again this year. From what i've heard it is much tougher this year.

  13. PBP2007- we are arriving in Paris on Saturday morning and are due for inspection at 10h30 on sunday. We are staying at the "formula 1" equivelant just up the road from the start so will try and meet up with Eddie and the JHB hooligans for the photo. My training partner and I are also in the same start group as you and will be wearing ECPPA and Tri X kit. See you there
  14. until we leave for Paris for the Paris-Brest-Paris

  17. Collect it tomorrow afternoon
  18. stayed in bed cos it's raining temp in the car driving to work was 10 degrees (still recovering from a ride in Magaliesburg on Saturday - Mount Grace was -3 at 7 in the morning)
  19. Guys My training partner and I are planning to do this in the next month as our last long ride before going to France to ride the Paris-Breast-Paris. Here's the catch - we plan to do it in 2 days.
  20. Planning to do a ride from Joburg to Durban. Does anybody know the best route to take?
  21. Got to agree with all the comments - have the S720 - needed a new battery and a new stop/start button. Sent it to Polar via Speed Services and had the HRM back within 3 days
  22. At the Tour Durban with about 30km to go the left hand pedal of the pilot stripped from the crank (Sugino Crank set). This has happened on the left hand crank of the stoker in the past. It's now time to replace/upgrade. What are the best options out there and where does one source the kit from. Any advice would be appreciated.
