milky4130 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Ja, I'm a "mature" man, and was in tears a few minutes ago. Am I getting soft with age??ja jong on that note how does one get a knop out of your throat & get the hair on your neck go lie down, or should I start a separate thread for that?
Wayne Potgieter Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Sorry folks. I have not done anything nearly as impressive as getting an invite for Worlds. Maroesjka is the real hero. I admire someone that dedicates their life to becoming the best at something and wont let something as trivial as money stand in their way. I really do believe in her. My dream is to see her on the podium at an olympic games and know that in some small way i helped her achieve that dream.

raptor Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 There are some male competitor's that was also selected and also don't have funds to go, just saying
GLuvsMtb Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 There are some male competitor's that was also selected and also don't have funds to go, just sayingGo and read Maroeshka's earlier posts about redirecting surplus funds. Just saying. She has been a member of thehub for some time and we have been following her progress with interest. While others may also be deserving of assistance, it is only natural for 'charity to start at home' (I hope that this statement doesn't offend anyone). All the best to Fire and thank you for passing on the surplus to other deserving cyclists. Olympic games 2016 perhaps? Lets see if SASCOC and CSA can get their act together by then.
Wannabe Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 Are you guys and gals aware of the fact that Fire won the PE Herald in difficult conditions yesterday, outsprinting Anriette Schoeman in the process? Talk about talented.
Tubehunter Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Here is some recent cycling news! https://www.bikehub.co.za/features/_/news/track/maroesjka-matthee-cleans-up-at-continental-track-champs-r1941 Well done on yesterday's Herald win Fire! Very impressive!!!! Here's the write up on that! https://www.bikehub.co.za/features/_/news/road/sa-road-cycling/matthee-takes-season-opening-win-r1983
Fire Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Hey guys!! Going into the race for the weekend, I had so much peace of mind for worlds. I'm not really a person to stress a lot about things, but somehow I was stressing a lot about Wolrds, and I really didn't think I was going to go. Financially it is just out of my reach...or so I thought - until you guys came a long We got the estimated budget for the trip. It is R23,000. UCI won't be covering the accommodation or transport. Bit of a bummer, but we'll take it as it comes. Winning the herald meant so much for me - a lot for my self confidence and much more for my name that's out there now for road racing. I'm not "just" the trackie anymore. Thanks a lot for all your support. Thanks for the donations so far.HUB FUND : R2550. Will go through my bank statements to check if I missed anything. :) Fire
Wayne Potgieter Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 My 15k should clear in a day or two. Paid this morning.
shawn Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Wayne. You most certainly have a heart of gold.
Fire Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Thanks so much Wayne!! Your selflessness is something we all can learn from! Thanks a million! ! Maroesjka
jebro7 Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Wayne...I take my hat off to you sir! What a legend!
Wayne Potgieter Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Maroesjka, and everyone else on Thehub. I am afraid i have deceived you. My earlier post stating that my payment was made in the morning was a lie. I have in fact made no payment to Maroesjka's account. Now, before you all grab your pitchforks and handbags (it is Friday after all) I have a really good reason. I have been working on something which i hope will benefit Maroesjka. Now, Maroesjka, if you will bear with me, i realise time is of the essence here. I have made a plan to come to your neck of the woods, i will be in Cape town this coming week, and i would dearly love to meet you face to face. I have some interesting news and a funny little proposition for you (nothing weird - Cycling Related) And i would love to hand over your money personally. Please could you let me know if this would be possible? Thanks Wayne
Wannabe Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 This got my full attention. Can't wait to see what Wayne is planning. Wayne, has Fire got in touch with you yet?
