Wow! A lot of ignorant comments regarding safety in Oman. Let me remind u that Korkie was killed by the American special forces. You guys sound like American tourists who cancelled their holidays to South Africa "coz they have Ebola".

Added a Oakley Jupiter Carbon to my eyewear collection.

I gave up Crossfit for this exact reason. The training used to be sp intense that I couldn't recover in time for my cycling interval training sessions

I rode W2W and Garden Route 300 as prep for Epic this year. Another must do race is Attakwas

Looks similar to the Swift Ultravox

We all remember how Robbie went flying up the Alps when he rode for Phonak back in the day. He was even able to climb with David George during the Giro Del Capo one year.

Put on your best wet weather tyres if you have. That mud is really slippery

4 months turnaround time is the norm. DG was also informed 4 months later. Impey requested his B sample be tested and was present at that test. End of the day he failed an IQ test. He probably didn't think they would pick that substance up in his body since its such a outdated substance these days.

I noticed taxis and motorists give me more space(1.5m) and more respect on the road if I'm commuting with my backpack. I reckon they see an ordinary guy on his way to work trying to make a living. When I commute to work without my backpack they probably see a lycra clad nuisance.

Anyone know Malcolm Fox personally? Can you PM me his contact details pls.

Sagan is a ex-mtber. He started out his career as a mtber and won the Slovak Junior Championship on his sisters borrowed bicycle.

It should have 3. Lockout, Trail and Descend. (LTD) Is LTD written on your top tube anywhere?

Wine2Whales profile stickers pulled te clearcoat off my top tube as well.

No man, why you hating on the Epic riders? They worked hard to earn that sticker.

Slow news day?

This diet will make u slower. Too little carbs in it.

Pro/elite riders need a coach for different reasons to what recreational rider would. Yes, Pro riders know what intervals etc but a coach's main role is to manage a pro riders' fatigue. They tell them when to back off so they peak for important races. For recreational riders a coach would help where the rider is clueless and just end up wasting his time and doing junk miles.

Get a PowerTap. No more guess work. Couple that with a coach and u can't go wrong.

I completed the 2014 Cape Epic with zero punctures. Tyres I used were Fast Tracks. My partner punctured 3 times on Stage 4 with his Schwalbe Racing Ralph's Snakeskins.

I am proudly an 2014 Cape Epic finisher! It's the hardest thing I've done in my life. To suffer like that day after for 7 days and sleep in a tent ain't easy. I finished in the Top 250 of the field. Hats off to the back of the field for soldiering on.

Im riding a Scott Spark 29er with Sram XX Groupset, Eggbeater pedals, ZTR Wheels with Fastrack Controls 2.0.

Good to see development riders making the most out of the opportunity presented to them. Well done!

Steve did my 29er bike fit 3 years ago. This year I decided to do another bike fit coz I did a few upgrades etc. I went to Spook at Daisyway and he told me the fit was almost perfect. He moved my saddle forward by .5cm and lowered my stem. But the biggest change was the cleat alignment. After he adjusted my cleats my pedal stroke was so much smoother. I could feel more power being transferred through the pedals

While waiting for the $ bunch to start, a rider in front of me tossed his empty gel to the floor. I tapped him asked him to pick it up. He just ignored me. Only afterwards when some other riders who also saw what happened gave him some choice words did he pick it up. Just shows the ignorant attitude of some riders.
