Noddy badges do not pay the entry fee and all the other things I will need though ;)

I'd like to ride.

 

EDIT: What I meant is my incentive payment from work next week ;)

 

Do they still do that "Christmas box" thing in SA?

To a fashion..

My Christmas box is based partly on how I performed and partly on the overall company's performance, and based on the business I am not expecting it to look great.

Worst case scenario, I will be there in spirit with Slowbee for 2016...unless we start a whiparound for my entry fee :P

so "training" has officially started

 

I looked at Mr RacerX and said, could I fix something if it broke between here and nowhere. 

 

lucky google knows lots about sram X9's

take an extra long limit screw so if your shifter conks out or you shred a cable without spares you can crank it into a manageable SS gear without having to rig up backwards cables and find cutters etc.

 

Otherwise pfffft..... what on earth can go wrong?!?!

my ability to navigate is going to be truely tested !

 

the bits that read " and I followed the purple line onto a farm road" concern me somewhat !!

 

this is going to be a bigger test that trying to stay positive everytime JZ needs more money... okay maybe not.
