At 69km, start of Villiersdorp climb. Teams Milka Trek and Fedgroup leading Good to see Fedgroup in the mix.

all ok Absa Cape Epic ‏ @AbsaCapeEpic Reply RetweetedRetweet Delete FavoritedFavorite · Close Open Details On the big climb and even top riders struggle for traction. Topeak lead. 360Life, 36ONE, BMC, Bulls, Merida all on pace #absacapeepic

Was wondering the same thing. Lets hope its the tracking, otherwise they are way of the front already.

They probably cant win anymore. But it would be good to see them trying to fight their way back into the top 3.

I think we are going to see a very aggresive 360 LIFE today. Hope they get some time back.

I bought one at the 94.7 expo. Also love it. Then I won one at the Argus MTB race lucky draw. So if anyone wants to buy one, brand new never used, let me know.

Not a big deal. I would take 50% off anyday for a small mistake like that.

:clap:

Magalies Monster 2011. Completely under trained. Hated every moment of the race.

Awesome! Thanks

Man what is up with the Racetec web site? I was driving back to JHB all day yesterday so couldnt check my official time and now it looks like the site is down. :-(

BB for me.

I try and support my LBS as much as I can, but sometimes the prices are just so much better at CWC that it doesnt make sense to buy it else where. I ordered some stuff yesterday afternoon at about 2pm. Just got in now. Pretty good service.

First time this race is taking place. Should be good fun. Dont let the 40km fool you. It will be a tough race.

In L - 6:57

Get the buzz rack. Good value for money. Way cheaper than the Thule's and work really well.

Cannondale Flash 29er.

Doesn't seem to be that good on the front wheel though?

Good to see you enjoyed it RocknRolla. I didnt know the restaurant was open again. Good to hear it is. Spoke to the guy thats organising most of the trails in the reserve and they got the go ahead for the printing of the route markers last week. So it will hopefully be in place very soon. @Bonus - You can easily do 30- 40 km there. But you dont need to do that many to get a good workout. Some of riding is pretty tough.

Theres a group of us that ride in the Krugersdorp area, not far from Helderkruin. Join the Facebook group "Krugerdorp MTB" to see all the rides. Its never set rides. Guys just post and people try and join as they can. Check it out.

I am not really sure whats available at the moment. They are busy fixing up the place. Last time I was there it was basically just a play area for the kids and braai facilities.

Yes they have. There is actually a race planned for there on 11 February. Its pretty nice riding and you get to see alot of game. Only issue at the moment is that the trails havent been marked yet. But its not to much of a problem as you can find your way really easily by using the Tar road that runs through the reserve as a marker/Reference point. There's talk of releasing multi entry tickets at some stage, but for now its R30 per entry. Well worthy giving it a try.

I had the same happen to me in October. DON'T train while you are on the antibiotics, just rest as much as you can!! I managed to start doing easy training sessions 2 days after the course was antibiotics finished. The week after that I was back to my proper training program. But be careful and listen to your body!! I would also recommend using a heart rate monitor if you dont normally use one. It took me about 3 weeks for my heart rate to get back to normal during training. So take it easy, even if it feels like you should be going harder. As some of the guys have said already, you dont want to end up doing permanent damage to yourself or even worse!! Goodluck with the recovery.

I also trained flat out this holiday and still picked up 0.4kg. At least its better than the 3kg's I picked up last year.
