  1. Event Name: Sabie Experience When: 13 December 2013 - 16 December 2013 Where: Sabie, Mpumulanga Category: MTB CLICK HERE TO ENTER Those of you who were fortunate enough to participate in the December 2012 SabieX Team Lite and SoloX can only attest to a fantastic, fun-filled event. Everyone was able to get a taste of prime mountain-biking over sublime trails in great weather conditions, in MTB heaven with endless single tracks. Great Goody Bags, including free clothing and caps, and free lunches each day, a well organised, great family event to round off your year! The Miway TV programme during March 2013 shows it all, from the "Woosies" who chickened out at the Eagle Run on the Prologue, to the "Race Snakes" and single speed freaks who ate up the mountains with relish. Well done to you all! You are all heroes in our eyes and the organising team enjoyed it as much as you did.

  2. Does anyone know where you can donate your old cycling equipment, shoes etc in the Gauteng area?
  3. I did swim a bit all over the place but from what I have heard the swim distance was a tad longer. I think the distance includes the run to transition.

  5. All you need is a blanket and you can have a picnic...
  6. I did my first couple of duathlons in cycling shorts. It doesn't hinder that much and you can get a feel for the sport before spending money on tri shorts..
  7. Well my frame arrived today without any further hassles. CRC sommer shipped it with DHL at no extra cost to me. :thumbup: The only problem I have now is that they shipped the BB30 adaptors (with normal mail) before the shipped the frame so now I have to wait for those to arrive before I can take her for a test ride...

  9. So I haven't got a reply from customer services yet but got an email confirming that my order has been processed and it's on its way... Now let's just hope it has the correct content..
  10. How long does the customer services department normally take to come back to you?
  11. I also ordered one of those frames yesterday BeOne Raw Red 56cm. Order went through, I paid, and then all of a sudden the item is discontinued. I sent them a mail asking them wtf and I am still waiting for a response. This morning I saw that there were no 56cm frames left at all. I have asked a friend in the UK to give them a call to find out what is happening. Will post their reply as soon as I hear from either party...
  12. I rode 20km to the start from Diepsloot and was greatly cheered by all the waterpoints along the way.. They thought I was the leader. hahaha. Other than that had a great race but will try and get a seeding for next year cause there were no bunches to ride in starting in CC but ended with a 3h20 and a 20km ride home..
  13. Sorry to hear about the injury... That really sucks.. I got ITB earlier this year from running too far too quickly and took about 2 months to get rid of it. Think I was just lucky.. Did a lot of stretching, still do, ran on softer surfaces (grass) and swam. Hope this helps and good luck. P.S. I heard those foam rollers also work quite well..
