    Likewise also tested positive in December. I was lucky though. Bounced back really fast with no side effects. Right now we need to just stay motivated, positive and keep training until they make a call. No point in getting stressed out before the announcement gets made.

    Really holding thumbs that this one goes ahead! Im nicely fit and been putting in the hours. Its my first one so really hoping for the best. Although realistically I dont think the chances of it going ahead are very good. Especially after seeing that Around The Pot and Knysna Cycle Tour got the boot.

    Gents what are good glasses for cycling at night? I see some okes ride with yellow lenses. Does it make a difference? I wear contact lenses and my eyes are prone to drying out. So I need to keep the wind off them. Any tricks to stop them misting up when riding with a buff?

    Hi guys I have see there are a number of "Trans Talk" videos. However the only one that is available to watch is episode 1. If you google it you find plenty of other episodes but its says they are not available. So is there somewhere I can find them or have they condensed all the episodes into the one video which have linked on the website?

    Gents I need some of your expert advice. Myself and two mates are training for our very first Trans Baviaans in August this year. We are fairly fit. 2 of us did a 153km (2000m elevation) Fund Raiser ride a month ago and found it fairly comfortable with an average speed of just over 21kmph. Having a business to run and a wife with 4 children means training time requires planning. At the moment I am able to put in around 10 hours a week on average. That is 2-3 rides in the week with one longer ride on the weekend. Now as winter draws closer its going to get more challenging but I will cross that as it comes. My question to you is: what sort of training should we focusing on now??? We are doing the Around The Pot 100miler event in July. Any advice would be most appreciated.

    There is a new store in George. RA Cycles. They come from CT if I recall correctly. Mainly Cannondale with some other brands. I haven't been in there myself but I am told it very nice. I meet up with the manager, Corne on a ride and he seems like a very nice guy. I hope the store does well. Theres more than enough of a cycling market here. Its growing by the day.

    Yes thats quite safe to do. 90% tar road. Actually all tar road if you stay right and not go down whites road. Its only when you go past wilderness to Hoekwil that you need be with a few mates. The climb over steel bridge has seen its fair share of problems in recent times.
  8. Warrenlee
    If you in the George area go to Ride Life. They awesome bunch of guys. Nice shop and well stocked.

    We try to do rides as a group once or twice in the week and then a slightly longer one over the weekend. But the idea of it is that cycling alone isnt a good idea you can post when you want to ride and there will always be someone to ride with.

    Hy guys, im the admin on the biggest mtb whatsapp group in the area. Send me a whatsapp on 081 018 2552 and il add you to the group. There you can ask about routes and if people are going out. There are ride in every direction every day. When you go back home just exit the group. Never a good idea to cycle alone. Especially in the witfontein area and quarry. Cheers, Warren

    Hi Guys, I need your help. I have bought a Giant Neos GPS and and Giant Heartrate monitor (chest strap). I downloaded the Neostrack App. The computer works wonderfully, the app is fairly easy to use and works. However I cant seem to get the app to talk to my Strava account. How do you get them to sync and has anyone else had a problem?
  12. Warrenlee
    Gents I need your expert opinions. What are good side entry bottle cages? There are so many brands, shapes and sizes. Which one can you recommend?
  13. Warrenlee
    Have a look at the Momsen Vipa's! You wont be sorry.
  14. Warrenlee
    Following this post closely as im also planning to ride TB next and need to get lights pretty soon.
  15. Warrenlee
    Go look at the Momsen Vipa's. Absolutely brilliant bikes!
  16. Warrenlee
    Lookup Netwerk Kouriers. My bike is arriving today from Upington with them. They picked it up Tuesday and today I pick it up (in George). Feel like a kid again im so excited! But give them a call. And they not expensive at all.

    I admire your dedication to the craft boys but im with BaGearA here, I cant imagine stripping the whole thing on a regular basis (4 kids plus my own business doesn't leave up much free time for faffing). I suppose im looking for the quickest and easiest way. I think I also tend to over lube which could be why my drive train gets gunked up so quickly. There are literally hundreds or degreasers on the market. But which one is the best remains a mystery
  18. Warrenlee
    You right in that there is so many ways. Thats what makes it so confusing. Iv always known Clean Green as a good degreaser, but some say it damages the chain. My father has an mechanical engineering background who now restores old grandfather clocks and swears by plain petrol. Hence why I posted the question. Iv just bought my first full sus bike after being on the hardtail for 3 years and want to take as care of it as possible.
  19. Warrenlee
    Whats the secret to cleaning your chain and drive train on a mountain bike?

    Shaving

    Warrenlee replied to Slave's topic in Technical Q&A

    Im a big fan of the clippers. Iv found cooler (as in temp wise) and more comfortable. Anyone claiming aero reasons etc is talking trash. Its a sign of your committment and dedication to being a cyclist. Also I take clippers up higher. Be careful though. Reason for this: if you mow the lawn the yard looks bigger. Now you can get out the shower and have a 'tada' moment when the wife walks past. Its just better presentation boys.

    I see there is a video of some dude calling for his people to stand together and disrupt the CTCT which is doing the rounds. You never know how seriously to take these okes but these days you never know. Either way if you are doing the event just be aware and careful. Not paranoid though.

    Maxxis Ikons Best tyre ever!

    Helmets?

    Warrenlee replied to Nicomrs's topic in New Gear

    Bloody good idea bru! Im going to do that night! Wife is going to moer me but its a chance worth taking!
  24. Warrenlee
    Did the 4 Peaks Challenge yesterday in George. What an amazing ride. Final preparation ride before we take on our first Attakwas Extreme!
  25. Warrenlee
    Iv fallen in love with the Momsen bikes! I bought my son a hard-tail recently and its been amazing to see him take his cycling to another level! Going from finishing 14th last season in the Spur Schools League to 4th in this years season in the Southern Cape. Granted he has gotten physically stronger but wow what a difference a proper bike makes. Iv decided when I upgrade next year, its Momsen Vipa all the way! So big shout-out to the Momsen Team! Keep going!
