Hello folks,
             I live in the beutifull Garden Route (South Africa), did the Argus and stopped cycling  (don't worry, I'll get going again!!) My wife and I love cycling and currently are in the process of organising a 5-day tour (with the help of the best committee members one can dream of).....will keep you posted.

Morning Earnie, Welcome and take your time to get that tour orginized, as long as we are all invited to take part in that.

Hi all,

I am a British born Nigerian living in South Africa - hence my sometimes confused state.  Been here for close to 4 years now.
Started cycling 2 years ago, and I have taken to it like a form of addiction. I train average 10 hours a week but I need to get more hours - unfortunately I have to work to pay for my addiction - what with the cost of bikes, parts, travelling to races and...
I work as a management consultant.

I guess that is me.

Hi Pothole,
              Thanks for the welcome, appreciate it. Yes, every body is welcome to do the tour, as long as you're a licensed rider and part of a team. Categories for juniors, elite, vets , pro teams and ladies. This will be a first in this country.

Hi all,

What a great site. :) from Johannesburg, South Africa being cycling for about 10 years but totally recreational have done  2 Argus all the 94.7's, 3 Tour de Durban's and going down this week-end for # 4.I still have to crack a sub 3, feel age is against me :P but heh will keep on trying.

See you Folks In Durb's      

Howsit Gordon, welcome to the forums! Going down to the coast aswell for my first Tour D'urbs. Must say that I'm already in off-season mode, but what the heck.

Hi My name is Hendrik Pretorius and I stay in Villieria. I am new to cycling. Been doing it since January 2001. I have done various races icluding the Sungardens CArousel Classic; 94,7; Jacranda FM 94,2 Cycling Classic. I used to ride half a bike but now ride a tandem (whole bike!!!!!) with my partner (wife) Marietjie. Our tandem is a Puegeot (aluminium Kinesis Frame) with a Campag Groupset and wheels and is named "Spirit of MAIA" A photo of me finishing the Carousel race is at the website below:-

Keep those wheels spinning

Welcome Hendrik.  The thing that us older cyclists have in common is how strong we look when we cross the line.  Great photo! 8)

Nothing wrong with Kinesis they make good frames. ;D

Hi Folks,

Just got back from Durban after the Tour Durban, Had a good  ;D ride finished in 3h22 which is my best time for the tour. Weather was great and a good vibe at the end.Ride a fairly old MTB Wheeler 5800 its logged 11000 km's.

Its time to fit the knobbles and do some MTB Riding.
Cheers
 

Hi,

I am glad for you. I did the tour Durban myself. I got a major race slightly right for a change and did a 2:59. Good enough for me as I rode the race mainly so that I could get a good seeding for the Argus next year.

Regards

Hi ,
I'm from Pretoria Gauteng in South Africa.
It's now 2 years since the cycling bug bit me and still enjoying
every moment of it. ;D
I started with a MTB and switched over to a racer which I replaced with a dream racer . ;D
It's nice to see one's time getting better in all the races.
I work in IT. ;)
Great website!
Keep up the good work!

I live in Johannesburg, SA. I work as a graphic- and web designer. I started riding in 1992 but stopped in 1995. I did my first Argus in 1994 (old route) and did 2 Jocks, '93 and '94. In the beginning of this year I decided to get back in the sport by borrowing my brother-in-law's spare Concorde but I bought my long time dream bike, Cannondale, two weeks ago. Just waiting for my stuffed knee to get better so that I can take her out.

BTW, thanks for a great forum, keep it up.
