  1. We can confirm that @Plattos did start Stage 3 but that he withdrew and is heading back to the start. Shattering news for @TeamBulls
  2. Absa Cape Epic: Hearing that @Plattos is out of the race. Will confirm situation when we have more detail #absacapeepic
  3. Kevin Evans on twitter: @frantisekrabon respect
  4. From the Movesafe facebook page, they are giving away an entry to this years Sani2C Adventure race. http://www.movesafe.me https://www.facebook.com/movesafecycling
  5. + 1 had the same problem with a brand new XT cassette and chain came right after a couple rides.
  6. If it gets cold & wet enough maybe a Shower Cap?
  7. I read about it yesterday "Doctors have known for hundreds of years that when a patient expects their condition to improve, it does. Research in the field of placebo studies has boomed over the last decade, and the evidence is growing that a placebo effect can be a powerful thing." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-26191713
  8. +1 Agreed, it was a good tough race and I will definitely be back next year.
  9. " Really bleak that following the sign board cost me the race. Unfortunately I went left. No marshal to tell otherwise " - Charles Keey (@CharlesKeey)
  10. Agreed... but you never know
  11. Ja, but you never know maybe even the overall... Reminds me of my favorite Nike ad "The Theory of Competition": Here's the thing that makes life so interesting: The Theory of Evolution claims that "only the strong shall survive". Maybe so, maybe so. But the Theory of Competition says "just because they're the strong doesn't mean they can't get their asses kicked". That's right. See, what every long shot come from behind underdog will tell you is this: The other guy may in fact be the favorite, the odds may be stacked against you. Fair enough... But what the odds don't know is this isn't a math test. This is a completely different kind of test. One where passion has a funny way of trumping logic. So before you step up to the starting line, before the whistle blows and the clock starts ticking, just remember: out here, the results don't always add up. No matter what the stats may say and the experts may think and the commentators may have predicted, when the race is on, all bets are off. Don't be surprised if someone decides to flip the script and take a pass on yelling "Uncle". And then suddenly, as the old saying goes, "We got ourselves a game"
  12. I'm rooting for Kleinhans & Bell
  13. Ariane Kleinhans ‏on twitter after Attakwas: "Shaken off last doubts re SRAMmtb XX1 today. With 32 chainring I had the perfect gearing for @attakwas Simpler is just better."
  14. The climb at the 48km mark looks like fun
  15. Rather get a wide/narrow type chainring. The wide/narrow tooth profile helps prevent chain-drop when running a 1x10 setup and I would run it with a type 2 derailleur or chainguide. From Wolftoothcycling: http://www.wolftooth...g.com/pages/faq
  16. twitter this weekend: Fritz Pienaar Jan 24: Enjoyed route scouting in Dullstroom. Real fun MTB route, but tough! Bring your dual-sus and spare lungs @mtnnationalmtb.
  17. I did the 2 day event last year and loved it... but I'm giving it a skip this year. It's become too expensive for me and IMO its not worth the R1 750 for a solo entry.
  18. Sky News on twitter this morning. DAILY MAIL FRONT PAGE: 'Sugar is the new tobacco'
  19. "’n FISIOTERAPEUT en ma van drie jong kinders veg om haar lewe in ’n Bloemfonteinse hospitaal nadat sy en haar man gister deur ’n vragmotor op die N1-hoofweg van hul fietse afgery is." http://www.thehubsa....60#entry2151815
  20. double post
  21. Read about it on twitter this morning... that's two guys in one week. Twitter: This morning I spoke to 702 about Toyota's Safe Cycling 1.5m campaign. Then a cyclist is mown down by a taxi inside the yellow line. - Kevin McCallum From the Movesafe Cycling facebook page:
  22. Twitter: This morning I spoke to 702 about Toyota's Safe Cycling 1.5m campaign. Then a cyclist is mown down by a taxi inside the yellow line. - Kevin McCallum From the Movesafe Cycling facebook page: Johan Labuschagne hit by a taxi this morning, at hospital now, looks like he will be ok.
  23. I saw this video yesterday on the movesafe facebook page... scary!
  24. I'm only doing B&B next year, Sani2C is awesome but it is becoming too expensive... not worth 11K -15K imo.
