  1. Cape of Good Dope makes pretty dope music. Bad Blood was a good read. Is Kimmage the Troll?
  2. Its not at race pace so its pretty easy actually. Just a steady climbing pace.

    Sidi Ergo 3

    So technically they are more or less the same then? Graphics on the 3's look abit like a 1st year art student project. Ok I am just miff that I still won't have to top Sidi shoe.
  4. Riding out there is just such a unique experience. Totally different from the south peninsula, and different from the Atlantic Seaboard. Its hotter, and the roads seem so much looooooooooonnnnnggggeeeeeeerrrrr! Its a real good day out on the bike for sure. Just watch out for those maniac truck drivers on the Ceres Pass.
  5. Now we are getting interesting ... ride from the civic center up towards the fire station. then hug left into Vredehoek and follow a left hand rule. (IE always take a left road wherever possible, but not going left into a dead end. obviously!) Continue along till you get to Hugo Road. Continue along and then a quick left up the bastard that is Belleview. Then left into Kloof - to the circle and left again into Tafelburg road. Continue along same till the boom - either dismount and get over/around it or ride the little dirt ramp on the right hand side. Ride to the start of the dirt. Do not admire the view. Turn and race back to the circle, and then up Signal Hill. To the end, turn and back down for a well deserved flight down to the circle and then down Capms Bay Drive. To the bottom, then turn right, cruise back through Capms Bay then right into Kloof Nek. To the top and over, returning to the fire station. I do this ride in summer before I go on shift. The mountain is like, oh shoo wow Bru!!! so early in the morning...
  6. It sure is. I have done it twice. You can add Bains Kloof pass. Then ride the Gydo pass all the way towards Citrusdal.
  7. Then do it 10 times.
  8. belleview in Town. The climb on the road that runs left from the road that takes you to Tokai Forrest. The road up to the nature reserve in Somerset West in Lourensford area.

    Sidi Ergo 3

    agree with all the comments about a 50% price sorry 20% PERCENT PRICE INCREASE. Still looking forward to my new pair RED VERNICE ERGO 2's.
  10. from that to the Venga
  11. Good. A roadie is a roadie and a MTB dude is a MTB dude.
  12. Yes. i agree.
  13. I was overtaken by some dudes on the misty cliffs road two day back.. I sucked. wheels. till we hit the slankop climb. which according to tim brink as per the tour de france guide is a not even a bump - fair enough - but thee guys had legs worthy of like Gay respect - such was the magnitude of the size of the swellings..
  14. I am 38 now. Got back into riding after alot of, well, shall we say other activities? Thanks to the bike I am in the best shape, physically and mentally. You have talent and the advantage of youth.. stay with the sport and the sport will give you so much back. And, you will be racing Elites before you know it.
  15. Agree 100%. Your comment makes sense.

  19. Jeez!!!!!! Shot Caerus!! I am laughing from all my mouths!!!! She just totally goes flying!
  20. I though I must be the kakkest rider on The Hub.. C in 2009 to D 2011 summer to E last month and this morning I am F according to PPA> So I can ride as a Cat 3 racer.. Hmmmmmm Just gotta watch all the dodgy bike handling skills in that bunch.
  21. I know that the runners, especially the tri-athlete super buffed kind of runners,who use the Atlantic Seaboard as training grounds, take a perverse pleasure in running abreast (ha ha sorry that's just such a funny word - abreast..) of each other. This forces the rider out of the yellow line and into the path of high speed traffic. Now the thing is the runners can see if traffic is approaching. But the cyclist has to rely on the signals his ears are receiving. Ah I do so enjoy the thrill of the chase - I simply choose a line just inside the yellow line, put my head down and hold it. so far so good..
  22. I will drink with you..
  23. Thanks Tnt1. @Tumble weed I know I is one lazy dude..
  24. yes that box. where is says, firewolf, on 12 July etc...
  25. Shock absorption was designed for riders who believed that a road that was not tarred still constituted a real riding environment. It was a poor, yet oddly welcomed gesture, initiated by the 70's hash-kop infested neo-hippies who insisted in hurtling their junkers down those early, seminal, California Hills. Despite repeated head-strikes against the finest American Granite these pioneers insisted that dirt equaled tar. And from this madness was born the current craze - so called - "Mountain Biking" Admittedly this craze has survived for some substantial time.. but really now.. dirt.. equals TAR?? Of course all your silly dirt related questions will, in due time, be rendered as inappropriate as any discussion of other riders Bull Knuckles.
