I HAVE to get one!
I want a new bicycle
This one in fact. A Silverback Monterey. Full 105 (like my current bike) but is has a 10 speed casette instead of my 9, is lighter and sexy.
I have always wanted a training bike (my current) and a lighter, better, racing bike.
Now to get my head in the right place to spend R12k on this.
The World’s Shortest and Best Fairy Tale
December 10th, 2009 
siviwe Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl “Will you marry me? ” The girl said, “NO!” And the guy lived happily ever after and went fishing and hunting and played around a lot and drank beer and Captain and Cokes whenever he wanted.

Training for IronMan 70.3
December 9th, 2009 siviwe No, not the whole thing; just the cycle. Which is 90km return-trip, and it’s not the pleasant route they could have chosen.
I just buried my prized koi
December 9th, 2009 siviwe Probably exaggerating on the prized side; but it was certainly the biggest koi in my pond. I am still not completely sure what killed it, but I had been expecting it to float for the last couple of days now. This morning, it finally happened.
I’m BAAAACK
December 8th, 2009 siviwe Over time, this blog has gotten stale (well, there are those who would claim it has always been; but we’re not worried about them). So I have finally found a theme I actually quite like, and from now on will be posting some stuff more and more.
I still debate the main purpose of the blog, a subject which is now further complicated by Twitter’s now further simplified “What’s happening?”
Anyway, this post is just to say I’m back. I will ponder the subject of what to actually blog about, and perhaps create more categories than just cycling and general.

November 19th, 2008 siviwe Bryan lied to me. He told me that he hadn’t done any training, and that we should look at a 5 hour time to finish this. Since I had recently gotten myself involved with a bad bout of the flu, I was quite keen on the 5 hour thing. I even started to look at the whole ride as a nice training base ride. LOADS of people told me not to ride with the flu (which Anelie started to call a resistant strand of TB), but because it was a base ride, there was no reason not to ride it.
Taffy, the return
April 29th, 2008 siviwe So where are you? What are you up to? what are you? I can’t believe that I had to join this stupid forum just to get in touch with you… I hate you for that.
I’m working in Tanzania as a Rock prostitute, I live in Canada in a small town called Chicoutimi (you can have as much fun as you like with that one). I have been dating someone for more than 6 months (actually into year number 3). My ego was crushed once by an idiot and I now hate tequila with a passion!! My thesis is for defense in September – you can call me Dokta. And of course I have missed you terribly!
Me in a very Large Nutshell!
Write back!!!

Say it with me: Coolest person in the world.
Argus 2008
March 17th, 2008 siviwe Was seeded group K, but dropped down to group GG to ride with Nick. Was not feeling all that strong after certain extra-curricular activities, so this turned out to be a really good thing. We started riding fairly slowly coz Nick didn’t want to push too hard upfront (I tend to get caught up in the excitement of the start). Then, effectively without warning, on this large hill Nick passes me, stands up and pumps up the hill. I just tucked down and kept his wheel; it was a REALLY nice pull. We got to the top and I thought I should take my turn at the front. A few times he dropped back watching his heart rate not exceed 171, or getting it back down.
