Anyone else receive an sms around 2am saying its postponed due to city withdrawing its approval?

First race back for me after long battle with post concussion syndrome from crashing at ride4sight in Feb. Hoping the grey matter holds up with race intensity nervous excitement to be back at the races

Please share details of the "race" on 28th?

best way to spend a weekend on your bike - wheels off the ground and coming in side ways

Im still looking for knee pads, but finding shops that stock different brands in JHB is proving to be difficult. Ive been down the online purchase once and they didnt fit so i am hesitant to buy without trying. Any suggestions where to go to try on in gauteng area, will travel to PTA if i need to.

Some exciting possibilities on the horizon for Gauteng enduro. I rode at Thaba trails yesterday and was told they are starting to put in an enduro trail with the idea of having 5 complete trails in the future and hosting events under the DRI banner.

This is my only hope right now. Previously went into game thinking I could get something but wasn't allowed in that section.

On a similar note does anybody know if it will be possible to get sealant or even a tube from tomorrow. I punctured my front tyre (broken valve) on day 1 of lock down and my MTB has been standing since then.

Anybody perhaps have experience with the Leatt DBX 2.0 and 4.0 winter jackets? With winter approaching I needed a new jacket and thought i will look around for some specials floating about.

So in light of this last ride thread, i was thinking today where am i going to ride the first time we allowed back out the house? Then i realized, how many trails will actually be open with no maintenance having been done over 21 days.

Have not done one of those in years, takes me back to about 5 years ago when cycleops first came out with the virtual racing. We had a hub race every tuesday night. Thanks for setting up, nice to get some intensity in from the usual z2 work over the last week

Any chance you have some Vittoria or Conti tubular tyres hiding away somewhere?

Had the same thoughts about Quintana and Landa after first episode. Will be interesting to see how much they reveal of what lead to Quintana leaving

Road ride this morning and then a quick MTB ride at Thaba trails this afternoon catching some last minute sunshine... Only person out meant I got to ride some of the single track in opposite direction short-cutting back to the carpark.

True in the sense of shuttles rather than riding to the trail head but like you say the trails are not all out DH. Never done this even but it always seems to get a lot of thumbs up. The Jock road race is the Saturday before so can get in some practice runs on the sunday before the event. (2 weekends in a row of riding in the lowveld, doesn't get better than that) Lets hope it will go ahead

Definitely putting this one down in the calendar, hopefully will still be able to go ahead as scheduled

Where did I ever suggest a top fuel... I may not be up to date on prices but I know the difference between an enduro and a XC bike

I have already apologised.... No I don't follow prices so have removed my previous post aswell

That is true... Can't say I looked at the price to be honest. My apologies

Came across Mpumalanga Enduro happening at MTO Trails in White River on 4 April. Anyone from Gauteng planning to go through, this is some awesome trail riding in a beautiful part of the Country? https://www.facebook.com/events/1851027965030570/

Thats why i want to preferably try on for size, i also seem to fall on the size limits for most brands according to there size charts

Does anybody know where in Gauteng I can possibly find the Ion K-pact knee pads to try on for size?

After a looooong time putting parts together i should be taking her out on her maiden voyage tomorrow. Just need to pick up a set of brake pads first thing in the morning. Only thing left really is chain guide and a dropper post.

I read something about 3 enduro events planned for the year with SA Champs scheduled for October Would be pretty neat if it goes ahead as planned.
