  1. thanks, i will have a look at this option Edit: I see the paid version allows for power meter and its cheaper than Cadence. Thanks for this info
  2. Hi So long story short, my garmin is busted and i dont want to rush into a new device purchase without doing sufficient reading - don't exactly have free money laying around I want to use my cellphone as an interim solution and scanning around for training apps that can connect to power meters. Most of the free stuff will work with HR but I am a data geek and been training with power for a while now and almost feel like i cant ride without it. Came across this app Cadence - Run and Bike Tracker App for iPhone and Android (getcadence.app) They have 3 different packages. - Free - no better than anything else on the market (cant train with Power) - Pro - R52 a month or R350 pa (can train with power) - Elite - R105 a month or R700 pa. The Pro option is fairly cheap and wouldn't mind spending 2 cups of coffee a month for a interim solution. My question to the hub is, has anyone ever tried this out?
  3. Does anyone know if there will be a 60miler option for the 2023 event? ngl, last years 100miler was off putting but keen to try the shorter route
  4. Baby bum cream 🙂 But only if i am doing lots of saddle time over a couple of days
  5. Would be interesting if they expanded the route to the broader Western Cape
  6. I dont have the answers you looking for. This is my first time doing this specific event and route. The only reason I avoid trailseekers is because its over subscribed and has too many sections where routes are shared with "kids and family" riders. I entered this event because of they had the two separate days. Lets just hope they did a brilliant job on the route planning
  7. I think hosting events over September should be question in future. Events in September should rather be moved to November and December
  8. call me a grumpy old man but my biggest annoyance to this is sharing a trail with the kids and family riders.....Banhoek trailseekers all over again😒
  9. is this a Gravel race or mixed terrain race?
  10. Genuine question, why so much hate for Remco You were all young once
  11. never said Sanparks to build the trails but they are the gatekeepers
  12. back to the topic I am hoping that SANPARKS was on board with this. Would be cool to see some new trail development over the next few years all over table mountain. Some multi level routes that goes around the mountain without touching tar.
  13. Yes. I refuse to use anything made by USN for this reason. In defense of USN, not all their products are made in the same lab. Their Blue Lab whey protein products are tested for Harmful and any products that are banned.
  14. SRAM has advanced far beyond what Shimano is currently producing for high end MTB market. BUT Shimano is far from dead. I am of the opinion Shimano is still the go to for MTB groupsets in the mid to low tier. 12 speed XTR, XT, SLX and Deore are way more affordable AND i would argue easier to maintain with affordable parts (chains and cassettes).
  15. how is Mas, Pinot or even Landa on this list🤔 Something wrong with this script
  16. Sorry OP Just going to come out and say it. I am starting to avoid MTB marathon events these days because I feel that they are catered for roadies. There is nothing more frustrating that sitting behind someone on technical sections (up or down) who is struggling and just wont let you pass. Just have a look at how these events are marketed, “family friendly”, for “everyone” etc. However, I do believe family friendly mtb events have their place BUT I am so glad that there are “tougher” events like this still out there. The smaller field size is also more appealing to me. This post has also made me consider looking at doing this race in the future.
  17. give it a few years, im sure 2x will make a comeback as some sort of new tech
  18. I haven’t ridden at KK or Drakensburg I have ridden Jonkers on a couple of occasions and even did the enduro there last year. Two weekends ago I was at Jonkers and was disappointed that Iron Monkey was closed. Lately it always feels like something is closed at Jonkers…. Maybe I am a little dead inside but I was not in awe or felt inspired by Jonkers in anyway. Just reading up on KK and Drakensburg, this makes me crave to get on my bike. They seem dwarf Jonkers in sheer km’s of riding (up and down). I still do maintain that Stellenbosch as a hub is probably the best riding destination for mountain bikers. Combine all the trails together in that region you have endless riding variety. Cant really argue with the ranking unless you have actually ridden all these trails.
  19. but what if Shoes identified as a 16 year old
