I met Admin at the 2006 Knysna cycle race, hin and another of his UCT teammates (Lance, hus hub handle is Donkey) were shacked up with a bunch of us Afrikaans okes. They handled us boere well.

It was here were I learned of thehubsa, and the start of a "slight" addiction. At this stage he ran it on the side while studying,.

 

back then bigH was still in moz, and a lot more chilled. TCS came and went. TitusTi and eldron had a bunch of knowledge and wisdom.

 

And the vibe was a lot more chilled. But also with less activity.

 

Lol. And to think Donkey is getting married next week... He was one of the groomsmen at my wedding. Met him in 07 when I was invited to a Friday morning outride

The yellow lasted all of about 3 months.

You should put it in yellow for the tdf...

Saw Crux a wee while back in the bike shop - our boys are at the same school. The King is still stirring things up on the cycling front. Good peeps those.

The hub... Lol

Well done Matt you started a good thing that has survived many mini melt downs, it's a pity that some of the great people discussed already no longer contribute.

 

I used to enjoy the race reports and posts from Marius in CT, not sure what happened to him....
