  1. What seeding rides did you ride?
  2. Not the most technical ride though, looked more like a road race just on gravel. If not for the heat factor it looks pretty easy, I think the epic and the pioneer have it licked.
  3. Made it into C. You just have to sprint to the timing mats after Tiny sits up after the line. Dont worry Tiny same thing happened to me three guys came past me before the timing mats on Sunday, why were they so far away from the Finish line??
  4. +1 My Garmin 705 shows 1202.

    ARGUS SEEDING

    You won't go off near the last riders, you must remember alot of the riders have done no seeding rides and a 4:31 is not too bad.

    Bragging rights
  7. Looks like the wind is going to be a factor this year.
  8. So he should ride untill his back breaks on a hardtail why not just go dual from the beginning and not worry about your back.
  9. Y Oh please if you been riding all your life then hardtail is fine. Everyone of my friends who bought hardtails are sorry they did. Most have moved to duals at a cost. If you racing snake and worried about weight then go hard tail if you want enjoy your riding in comfort then go dual.... period. Have you guys ever ridden a dual? I had a hardtail and will never go back. I see both you guys are from Gauteng remember there are no mountains there. LOL Dual might help with the potholes. I didn't lose my ability to ride a hardtail....... I have a road bike.

    Bike rack

    Is that for a three bike?
  11. Over 30 years old go for dual 26er. Also agree go for the best you can afford if the bug bites upgrade cost or selling and buying something better is going to hurt. Sorry didnt see the 4k budget.
  12. Looks like something my mom should be riding.

    Cricket......

    I agree with you Boucher is long past his sell by date, Rudolph just cant cut it at the highest level and what was Prince thinking with that reverse sweep when you team is in so much trouble.
  14. Here's my baby.
  15. Ride slower.
  16. My training ride on Saturday was up Gydo over Witzenberg to the end of the road (where the epic went over into Tulbagh) and back to my farm (3km from Eselfontein) was about 75 km with almost 1000 m of ascent. Once you turn left into the Witzenberg Valley very little traffic. That climb back out the valley is about 9 to 11 percent gradient then its all down hill back to Ceres. You will agree with me Lucky Luke when you go over that climb that valley is a great site. That pic also looks like its been taken from the look out point on top of Gydo looking down into the Ceres Valley awesome. Going to do a 65 km ride tonight just over the Witzenberg climb. Mabe take my camera for some more pics.

    99'er 2012

    Did the Cape Cobra and the 99er this year I found the 99er harder.
  20. Doing the DC my friend and I get to the self catering where most of the guys are staying. I shave my legs now and again but I thought I'm doing the DC with a lot of roadies so I better shave my legs. Tell my friend he better do the same but he decides against it. Well we get to the house and all the guys take one look at my friend and say no ways are the riding with the Yeti (have you seen gorillas in the mist well that what his legs look like). Problem is nobody has a razor then I remember I have one of those disposable bic razors in my bakkie and somebody finds a pair of sissors. Well off he goes to the bathroom we braai..... we eat.... still he's in the bathroom I eventualy go have a look, looked like Freddie Kruger got hold of him theres blood everywhere. He said the first leg was not too bad but when he got to the second that bic could have been a butter knife. It was so bad that he thought of just leaving the one leg hairy, I think the wind resistance would have been so bad he would of gone around in circles.
  21. Hey anything to get closer to a threesome is cool. (just kidding ladies)
  22. Same boat as you, never had a problem with my Look's.
