  1. Hi, I am looking for an entry for the 2018 Absa Cape Epic. If you are willing to sell, I can pay immediately. Rowan
  2. done it 4 times...... and my tip is that you dont get paid to do this. Make sure you are having fun, cause if you are not, you are doing something wrong! oh, and btw, the WEAKER rider on the DAY, must ride at the front, irrespective of wind direction or ego.
  3. I am rather going to try my luck at the USN Mountain Cup. that route is a cracker. >45% singletrack and small field = no congestion.
  4. I agree with Brussel. I have done 4, and the last 1 I did (this year), i had my best result, only finding out 3 weeks before the race that I was riding. My mind was fresh as too was the body, and I was excited for the ride and enjoyed the route that Dr Evil took us on. Those who do not complete the race, it is largely because of overtraining and a tired mind, rather then undertraining. I dont recon you need anything more than 12 hours of quality riding per week. not need for too much intensity. 3 - 4 hours on the weekend with perhaps a longer 5 hour in Jan. peak in Feb and then relax with some shorter intense stuff in March. you can really over think this whole thing. while an investment in time is required in the saddle, us humans are pretty resilient characters. Just rememeber, MTB is supposed to be fun, if you are not having fun, you are missing the point.
  5. I have been using Q rings for neerly 18 months now right from XC to Epic. I recon they work quite well. Well, the Power Tap does not lie, so I would say they work and I am pretty chuffed. As far as I am concerned, the more people that dont use them, the better it is, as i still get the benefit that others dont. Food for thought - all those 29er obsesed people who point out that racers/pro won their races on 29ers. have you ever looked at the rings that they ran for the race? (Kulhavey, Sauser, Stander, George, Evans). As far as I can remeber, I cant remeber when I upgraded my car for bigger wheels instead of a better gear box!
