Let me know what your guys start times are when you get them.

Nope - got mine too (CL 06:30) - phone leisure cycle tours and find out, might be that they have a wrong cell no for your SMS notification.

Nee wat swaer, met my is ons ten minste twee..

H.K.G.K........

CRC have them for R4.79 - anyone want to club in and we buy a case?

Mojoman, where did you buy your Shimano FH-M475 freehub body for R200? I need to replace mine and here in P.E. going rate for the freehub body only is R350 - R550!!! (And then they don't even keep stock!)

With Merida team colours...

I believe the 34" is gonna be even quicker, but only if you run it on 11 speed cassettes, wear holograms and drink 29GI energy drinks.

Will let you keep you posted! - The Baviaans ranks as one of my top 5 most beautiful places in SA.

Great Ride!

We were there yesterday and they charged us R30 per head to go in. Just spoken to Gavin Shaw (042)2837913 (Eastern Cape Parks manager for Baviaans South) and he confirmed that they now charge all who access. I accept that there needs to be stringent access to this world heritage site, but I think it crazy that we have to pay the same access fee on a MTB as what a oke with a massive 4x4 does! Charge or no charge, the Baviaans remains as one of the most beautiful places in the country!

Baviaanskloof ride tomorrow starting at Glencoe chalets +-07:30 up to Bergplaas via Combrink Pass return. Bring Camelbacks! We are 6 riders so far.

No, that one is in September (St Francis MTB Challenge) This one goes through a Game park, and as it has been raining a bit the sandy bits should not be too soft. Looks like a East wind again tomorrow with rain....

I see there is an event (Erich at the Port MTB Challenge) in Port St Francis tomorrow, are you doing it? See http://www.stfrancissport.co.za/2010/12/mtb-challenge-at-new-venue/

A new mountain bike trail has been developed on the farm Norm-Hudlin situated on the Kragga Kamma road. Go see http://www.epcycling.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=78:norm-hudlin-mountain-bike-trail-now-open&catid=12:general-mtb&Itemid=6

There is no chance, that extra couple of KG's can maar stay!

Google "negative calorie foods" Negative calorie foods are foods, which use more calories to digest than the calories food actually contains! Good stuff to snack on.

Again this morning on the Seaview road between Kini Bay and Bushy park I had an oncoming car overtaken by another car heading for a head-on with me. From now on I ride with a few windscreen unfriendly fishing sinkers in my saddle bag.

Pepetual motion - we going to make big bucks!!!!

Just to toss a spanner in the works, if you are riding a rolling hill type profile with short elivation periods, would it not be better to have heavy wheels? - Imagine the flywheel effect with mercury filled tubes!

All products have a lifetime guarantee. If it breaks it just had a short life span!!!!

I agree with you, and as Scotty said all the info you need is on the net. I have only been cycling (MTB) for 1 year now and have never taken my bike to a bike shop for a service in the last 9000kms. Call me a monkey but I don't get paid anywhere near the rates they charge per hour so I will rather eat my peanuts and do it myself and learn as I go along! Changing cables, brake pads, chains, chain rings, sprockets and bearings is not brain surgery, so why must I pay surgeon’s fees? I have recently opened accounts with Probike and Omnico and you will flip over backwards when you see at what profit margins spares are retailed in your LBS!

Apparently the bloke was "Dik Gesuip" from an all night party and then the lion pulled his leg...

It has been confirmed that an employee of a nearby lion & crocodile farm has been killed by a lion, and no he was not involved with the race.

This was my view this morning. Days like this make it difficult for me to understand how some can be non-believers!!!
