 Because protection...

[Duane_Bosch]

hahahahahahahaha No Glove no love!

 

I'm sure the Price was right...... 

Haha. Someone named Evan who looks eerily similar to that picture of Borat came on one of our France trips.

 

I would describe him as......... Unique.

 

He mailed me and asked if cycling from Geneva to Morzine was possible. I laughed. But after we left he cycled from Morzine to Meribel to watch the WC. on a bike with a bent or cracked everything.

That sounds about right.... Funny thing is, he is STILL riding around the world. Been a good few years now. The beard has come and gone a few times but he is still at it.

LMAO at the Borat outfit, I feel for that bike seat though. 

 

My grandad had a Chopper somewhere in his garage and I've been after that bike for years but because of politics I can't get my hands on it.... One day when I do I'm defo doing the Argus on it.

Hi Curious

Wouldn't that be PPM?

[FootballingCyclist]

were you in B round about the same time i was in E?

Not sure.

 

I was in B last year before Cycle Tour. Crashed in June and broke my collar bone so never did any PPA races, Did 1 towards the end of last year but only rode it in the H bunch to help my friend better his seeding. Anyway, I'm now in E 0.04 away from being in F..

Police are on high alert in Ocean View after the houses of alleged gangsters were petrol bombed in retaliation to the murder of 8-year-old Emaan Solomans last night. The little girl was struck by a stray bullet in the hand and chest while a 31-year-old man was also killed during a shoot out between rival gangs. According to an eyewitness, community members had held a peaceful protest at the entrance of the area, as well as a mass thikr in the child's honour. However, the source alleged that PAGAD members then began setting houses alight, while shops were looted and threats were made to burn the areas masjid down. A man affiliated to a gang was also hospitalized after being beaten and stabbed in the face. According to the source, three men handed themselves over to the police in relation to Emaan's murder.

 

Chairperson Kathy Cronje says the CPF initially thought a group of people who travelled from Manenberg yesterday were there to pay respects, but violence later erupted. Cronje says she is en route to Ocean View to get an update from the Station Commander.

 

“Emaans' family is absolutely broken. The Ocean View community has had enough...what will it take? In November to December the shootings got so bad that we eventually had to write to the provincial commissioner to request Anti-Gang Unit. We are an AGU station so why on earth don’t we have AGU in our area?” she questioned.

 

So we cycling past this Township...mmmm????

My grandad had a Chopper somewhere in his garage and I've been after that bike for years but because of politics I can't get my hands on it.... One day when I do I'm defo doing the Argus on it.

I have 2 choppers - one lives in Cape St Francis and a few weeks ago I did a surf check and returned home - 6km not many hills

 

I'd rather ride 50 on a normal bike

 

People were laughing, hooting and giving general goodwill to the 6ft 95 kg buffoon on the chopper

The timeline doesn't make sense to me.

 

Friend in 1K(06:37 start time) also got this mail.. So he'll have to do a effing good sub 3 from 1K, get back to the startline, find a start group chute, all before 09:30?? Never happening.
