Both men & women winners were on Gary Fisher bikes

Taken from a report on the US champs - "This is the second year in a row that both the men's and women's races have been won on 29-inch wheel bikes. A turning point in the sport seems to be taking place. The Subaru-Trek team no longer even brings their 26-inch wheeled bikes to races." Please, no hate mail from the pro 26er's

Ja, my carbon road frame is great, stiff, light - all those nice things that make a cyclist go all fuzzy inside.....but I'll stick to alu on the MTB. Me thinks potentially, dented alu works better than cracked carbon!

If anyone is riding or knows someone who is, please pass on BEST WISHES from the hub, or least us hubbers who will be supporting from our couches & office desks!

Vinnie, looks like you have Karkloof sorted. It's awesome riding...you will have a blast! Should you still want to ride Giba, PM me a couple of days in advance & I'll happily take you around....

Thanks for the great pics, much appreciated....sure wish I were there!

You poor Vaalie/Gauteneleng! You need to come to KZN, we have well controlled, batched starts resulting in minimal ST hold ups on races. Please come down for a race or two. If thats not an option, there's no shortage or road races in Gauteng....Enjoy! Man, I sure hope you weekend gets better from here...

That's what makes MTB so appealing. 1 - getting fitter & stronger & 2 - getting better technical skills! If their's no technical challenge - you might as well stay on the road...

I'm looking forward to an epic battle between the two top S14 teams! Taking into account that Stormers have nothing to loose, whereas the Bulls have the experience at winning, but they are also expected to win so will feel the 'pressure' evens things up......should be a cracker! May the best team win.

Good to hear. Well done Omnico! Joey, welcome to the world of MTB, you will enjoy it as much as road, if not more...

Now that's the real deal! World class South African product! Enjoy...
