Recommended Posts

So PELETON/PELOTON is a word reserver for pro's and really fast people and "bunches" are used for the rest of us mere mortals...Big%20smile

Haha - i'm STARTING OUT the mtb thing.

 

Btw...had a lovely 1h30 ride this afternoon...all the mountains around Worcester is covered in thick snow/on some mountain tops still snowing(read - it's feeeeezing here!!!) and in town it's raining. So i had water, mud and the most beautiful views of the snow from the trail!!! Loved it!!!

 

anyway...back to the topic - no comentators use peloton for SA races...

From Pharos Groot Woordeboek the following:-

 

peloton?, (-s, -ne), squad, platoon; |pelotonopstelling ~opstelling, platoon formation; |pelotonskietery ~skietery, platoon firing; |pelotonvuur ~vuur, platoon firing.

 

peleton recorded no hits in Afrikaans so it does not exist. Afrikaans is the only true spoken language.

Could it be that they are naturally biased that way due to vested interests?????

Hehe - Holy Roller en Dirt-Rider...wil julle nog hoorWinkLOL... 

 

...maar ek gaan regtig volgende keer die kamera steel en saamvat (hmmm...miskien m?reBig%20smile)...was eintlik jammer om te dink dat ek seker al persoon was wat vandag daardie uitsigte kon sien - ek bedoel...jaaa...almal kan van oral af die berge sien, maar om self in die berge te wees....AMAZING!!! Dis soos 'n droomw?reld.

 

En DR - is jy nou trots op my?Embarrassed...kyk ek raak liries oor die bergfiets dingBig%20smileEmbarrassed. (as jy weer di? kant toe kom moet jy skree - hier's nog 'n paar nice roetetjies waar die ouens die laaste tyd oefenTongue)

nellie, ek het daai wit sneeu gesien al die pad van die Kaap af vandag!  Geniet dit, dit gaan KOUD wees more oggend.

 

Wat peleton betref - DIT BESTAAN NIE!  Ek het dit geGoogle, geWiki, opgesoek in woordeboeke (nes Groot Hendrik) en ek kry dit nie - not even in English!!!

 

...and for those of you who think peloton is French I have bad news:  It used to be French, but these ays it is largely Italian, Ukranian, Australian and lately even South African!  Go Barloworld!!!!!!!!!!

Haha - twyfel of julle ouens die Brandwachtberge kan sien, maar jip - daai's nader aan die Kaap se kant lyk net so mooi. En ons kry klaar koudConfused - as daardie windjie eers so begin waai klap die tande en raak die lippies maar lekker blou...maar als die moeite werd, want ek bly seker in een van die mooiste plekke in die land!Approve

Maak maar plan...die aanbod staan, sal jou bietjie gaan rondwys whenever jy jou in hierdie w?reld bevindThumbs%20Up. 'n Hele klomp van die boere in die omgewing maak deesdae mtb roetetjies op hulle plase wat nogal baie fun is, so daar sal tien teen een 'n hele paar wees wat jy nie ken nie...en hey...ek leer ook maar nog - weet seker nie eers van die helfte nieEmbarrassed

That doesn't surprise me. Their reviews of products are equally stupid. some of the reviewers there claim they can feel the difference between a 72 degree and 73 degree head tube angle. When challenged to explain how they felt it, i.e. what are the symptoms, they were stunned and chose to leave it at that.
