Is it only me, but I think the PPA misrepresented the procedure when requesting our membership renewal. "PPA MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS 2015-2016 Your PPA membership fees are due on 1 July 2015. Paid-up PPA members will again be given the chance to enter the 2016 Cape Town Cycle Tour before entries open for the general public. Make sure you are on the ‘paid-up PPA members’ database’ and pay your subs during July to get your invite to enter the 2016 Cycle Tour early. It did not mention anything about club 21 or more than 21 races. I would like comment please

..........And then something goes wrong and you guys blame ICASA for not checking everything. Different countries have differing conditions, priorities etc

I'm certain those hubbers who "grab a granny" will beg to differ

He should've been found guilty, with "time served"(he was in effect suspended for more than eight days) and/or a fine; for a first offence. 13.3.057 The following penalties may be imposed by the UCI Disciplinary Commission in the event of an infringement of article 13.3.052: suspension from eight days to six months and/or a fine of CHF 1,000 to CHF 100,000; in the case of a second offence within two years of the first: a suspension of at least six months or lifetime suspension and a fine of CHF 10,000 to CHF 200,000. The penalties shall apply to any licence-holder found to have committed the violation or to be an accomplice; application of article 1.1.086 is reserved; 13.3.058 In addition to the sanctions stipulated in article 13.3.057 the following shall apply: 1. In case of infringement of article 13.3.055 all results obtained by the rider in the 48 hours period shall be disqualified.

Jan Smuts, direction North, between Spes Bona high school and the N2. Unsafe during the early hours.

I should have posted this earlier. Avonwood Ave (Elsies River) between Norwood and Jan van Riebeeck Drive, direction East. A single assailant f@#khead tried to hit/stab me with an object(I didn't ask him what it was) which looked like a knife. Fortunately I was vigilant and he was babelas/high, so I manage to swerve and outsprint him. I just thought it was a random opportunist. This happened 3 Sundays ago. Well it seems like he returned with back-up this morning as 5 guys attacked 2 of my ride buddies at the same spot. Fortunately they managed to get away, with some damage, but unhurt. It seems like these sh!ts of society have started taking note of our group's ETA at this spot. Looks like they haven't smoked up all their braincells just yet.

To the pain-cave. No pictures attached because it's so dark in there.

Are you serious? So Vos and Schoeman etc should just gift races to youngsters? We must stop coddling our youngsters. If they are good enough to win then they will; otherwise they should just work harder at it and the results will come. Just remember that these are professional athletes, with contracts....

With some help by the camera motorbikes

I hear you brother . I was toying with the SS idea for a while, but since my route includes Boyes Drive from Kalkbay's side........sanity prevailed purely for those "flat', "empty tank" days of course

My question is, what happened to the 'staff' who fed it to them and if the DC knew about the conditions why were they still 'reprimanded"?

Eish! I'll have to send that Greipel chap a couple of steaks and a few red balloons

Does that apply to "Froomey" too, since he is from Afrika?

My picks: 1. Alberto Contador 2. Christopher Froome 3. Peter Sagan 4. Thomas Voeckler 5. Pierre Rolland 6. Andre Greipel 7. Marcel Kittel 8. Mark Cavendish 9. Michal Kwiatkowski

I beg to differ; he is a pro cyclist who knows the risks, so it is in his best interests to protect his career by checking everything. You on the other hand; who cares if you're hopped up on meds? As long as you don't win the race that is.
