South African Cyclists
 Hi all! So now that Argus is over, what ya up to? We've read Acid asking for winter training tips in the technical section on this website... what are the rest of you doing - hibernating?Moi, I'm spinning 3 x a week, and doing a ride on the weekends, and if there's a race over weekends, doing that too. Next up shortly is Tour D'Urban... I think I'd almost want the heat of Argus, rather than winter arriving  but I guess that is why there is peak season, and off season. Looking forward to hearing how all you regulars to this site are doing! "Cheers vir eers" |

Re: South African Cyclists
Morning Elsa. A lot of us will feel much better, now that you are back with us. In Cape Town they got another cycling organization called “Vets and Woman Cycling Association”. They got championship and races every 2 weeks till the summer season starts. Their races are on Sundays at 9 in the morning and are about 60km per race. I will join then to keep the wheels rolling. There is also a winter league running and their races are Saturday afternoons from 14h00. (www.vwca.org.za)

Re: South African Cyclists
Hi to all the other S.A. cyclists. I'm new to the forum and fairly new to cycling. I live in Port Elizabeth. I've only been riding seriously since Dec '01. I have a Schwinn Mesa MTB (Slicks now). I did the Argus at five weeks notice ( I won an entry) and did a 4:22. I am totally hooked now. I am going to Tour of Durban next weekend. Hoping to do < 4:00. I'm in group J.

Re: South African Cyclists
Vo2 - well, I can't speak for Chilli-B, but moi, I've been on a well deserved H-O-L-I-D-A-Y which was needed after "THAT" Argus!
Pothole - thanx for the welcoming words! I can't promise much though, as our IT Dept is starting to enforce the policy of non work related PC work being done on internet / email more strictly now. I will however give my private email to whoever requests it on Instant Message facility on here. At the end of the month I will appear less and less on here Ouzo - don't feel too bad - it's why its "off season". Take a breather, but maintain some of that riding, so that a few months before 94.7 you won't have to start from scratch  Cranky - welcome on board! Congrats on the excellent time for a beginner who won an entry into Argus! Wow. keep it up and enjoy Durbs too! To the rest - where you all at?  |

Last weekend was an expensive MTB ride! : Went for an involuntary swim in the Hennops River! :-[ Took my Siemens R3000+ cell phone with me. Thought the d**n thing was was waterproof!! It isn't! Complete write off! (But the Polar S710 is! ;D)After the Tour D'urban I will taper off to 2 x 60km rides in the week + the weekend rides. Cranky. Welcome to the Forum.

Re: South African Cyclists
Altwegg..One thing that puzzle me from the beginning is your "end of line" comment...Andrea Corr is my goddess... Who is she and can we have a picture. Maybe we could all "Admire" her.
