Mamil Posted May 16, 2017 Share She works on Saturday until lunchtime sometimes later depending on emergencies and the Sunday is .... negotiated. Fortunate that the offspring is reaching an age of relative independence which is also quite liberating. And I think also everyone knows that I'm a much better human being to be around when I've had the "sturm und drang" bashed out of me on the mountain or pumped myself full of endorphines trying to keep up with H group. what does your wife have to say when you are gone 40% of the weekend? andydude and samson99 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamil Posted May 16, 2017 Share I paid my dues there - I enjoy kids (on toast) ... No I really do ... but these days as I hand one or other neice or nephew back to the people it belongs to I do feel quite pleased that my days of reproduction are over. Lots of little homilies and patronising platitudes to you both about how quickly it goes and enjoy it while they're so little and so on .... Makes sense. You are lucky.

City Cycling Athletic Club Posted May 23, 2017 Share R250 for an early entry? i see it counts towards your Argus seeding - desperate times call for desperate measures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamil Posted May 24, 2017 Share I suspect the desperate times will kick in for me somewhere outside Riebeck Kasteel as the measure of Darling Brew starts to make itself desperately felt in my legs. R250 for an early entry? i see it counts towards your Argus seeding - desperate times call for desperate measures.

alleyne Posted May 25, 2017 Share Sigh, wanted to do this race this and thought entries closes midnight, but it is closed already I entered an hour ago, give it a try. Also, racetec has it at 90km when you enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJTerblanche Posted May 25, 2017 Share I got like halfway through the registration last time, so perhaps it closed while I was busy. Now I get this error straight away: Sorry, but the PPA Cyclo Sportif #1 is closed.Any incomplete baskets found have been cleared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamil Posted May 25, 2017 Share I'm looking forward to it. I anticipate being dropped by H (I know I should think positive and HTFU and so on) but I'm going to do my level best to keep up with I and J when they come by. And if not I'm just going to enjoy a ride in the countryside. lifeissweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andydude Posted May 25, 2017 Share Really wanted to do it but have been sick this week with no riding and age (experience) tells me rather not to go threshold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
