My dad and Uncle Peter grew up cycling together, I got to know Justin as a kid and we rode many miles together as juniors... and a few years ago trained early in the mornings before work, so that he could be home in time to see his daughters off to school. What an amazing friend and guy! I remember one year before the Argus Cycle Tour, I was having trouble with my bike and he came over at 7pm on a Saturday to give me hand! My life is richer for having known BigJ. He is missed dearly already.

Anyone know why it doesn't show on the results that he rides for SantaCruz/Syndicate? Just a blank where his team name (sponsor should be)... surely Greg is not a "privateer"? http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/uci-mtb-world-cup-xco-3-lenzerheide-2015/downhill-final/results

Dehydration... combined with a bright yellow pee after a ride? Drink water till you produce a nice clear tinkle

You guys riding on Wednesday morning - my last Wed morning ride before I go international...

They've done more for cycling in South Africa than just about any other "association" out there...

improved my swim radically, from being a swim back-marker to a mid-field swimmer...

What a lekker ride, a few pools of water here and there, ground a bit wet but not saturated... Loved that technical single track at the end... Good job by the organizers to split the routes at the end - 50km guys got to do nice single track, while I believe the 25km guys finished on jeep track.

I'm heading out there with about 8 kids from my school wanting to do the 25km... their enthusiasm is killing me, not really keen for the mud and cold...

Two of my kids at my school mtb with these bikes... it's like riding a tank!

Great ride... his jersey is fugly thou!

Just entered the 46km... felt nice and strong 2 weekends ago on the 57km Liqui Fruit Vineyard ride at Lourensford. Will be in my traditional Mellow Johhnys kit, Trek Superfly ht. Looking forward to Sat

they did a presentation at the school I work at, never mentioned price. Many kids were keen to do a team tri, until we looked at the prices... Even as an individual, no ways am I doing it a that price... There's an off road tri a few weeks later - LandRover N1 City tri, would rather do that... Edit: typo

What an awesome ride, fell my gat off on one of those wooden bridges on the single track towards the end... The photographers seemed pretty keen, some laying in the bush to get that perfect shot... Will definitely do this ride again in future...

BridgeCycles did this to mates S-Works not s long ago,,,

My first PPA event since the Argus last year... started in F&G, lead the bunch over Helz (that hasn't happened in ages), four of us got away after guttering it a bit on the R304, TankMan and me dropped to guys and caught a few bunches ahead of us... Ran out of water and had to stop for a top up... Kind of enjoyed the tough conditions... Finishing by catching the shorter and medium routes did cause a fe nervous moments thou.

I use "Deuter". You can get them at Cape Union Mart. I have the 15/350 model, which is a nice size - not to big not to small. There are two clips (belts, whatever you call it) one ties across your chest (stops the straps from falling off your shoulders) and another around your waist (stops the pack from bouncing on your back). It also has a velcro hole thing (if you carry a camel back, or other hydration device) where the mouth piece comes through. A really cool design - I've had mine for close to 5 years, and it's still perfect...

Best shop I've visited in Cape Town by miles!!!

I have had my EA70's for about 3 years now - use them for training, so I've gotten a lot of good miles out of them. Recently started popping spokes - and every time they have to go to the agent for new spokes (never taken them more than a day or two to sort out).

I stay in the Northern Suburbs and I'm usually home at 9... we finish in town at before 8 if you need to head off early... Join us!

If the wind dies down I'm there... Will get you at Woodbridge Island at 5:30...

I've heard of a group of folks that swim at the Hillcrest quarry early mornings... obviously wetsuits required thou.

I miss the days when they were a small family store and you got real service... sadly I dislike going into their stores, and online is usually out of stock and / or only small / large sizes of the things I need :/

Yeah so why aren't you getting back to me on the decals you said you would redo (3 months ago!!!!), which I paid for... you said you would remake them, and now you don't get back to me... First you were too busy, then your printer packed up... now you are saying nothing and not answering my phone calls???

I'll vouch for DizzlLizzy's character... not a trouble maker in any way, just wants info to which she is surely entitled to as a paying member... and isn't here to troll!

For one, it would be great if your "dealers" got back to prospective clients on availability and generally dealing with queries in a more professional way... Lost me as a client that way for sure!
