  1. I managed to get an early-bird, more just to try my luck, tried to beg, borrow or steal the R82900 but nobody was willing to do it at such short notice. Funny thing, they say you have till 9am on the 27th to pay, the invitation says it expires on the 28th. Just checked and it's still there for me to fill in and pay! Anybody keen to lend me money?
  2. Anybody have R82900 to lend me? Will happily pay it back over the next year!
  3. All those big corporate sponsors should rather hook this kid up instead of paying for the guys who have to stop and take breathers half way through the prologue!
  4. I got me and the Wife the Ultimate Direction AK3.0 and Ultra Vesta vests. Best purchases ever. ​It was a tough call between the Salomon vests and UD but after seeing how strange some of the Salomon packs looked when fully loaded and bulging around the hips, I preferred the UD vests and the fact they fit high on the back. https://ultimatedirection.com/ak-mountain-vest-3-0/ https://ultimatedirection.com/ultra-vesta/
  5. That "studio footage" was pretty impressive. ​They had entire sets built out on the N2 towards Somerset West, the town, a few of the Ships, etc. Looks impressive seeing a fully rigged wooden ship while heading home on the N2.
  6. This stage is lining up to be pretty interesting, definitely still have Nino taking the win but didn't expect Sauser to be battling so badly. Any news on the ladies?
  7. Depends when he was bust? If it was before Kev made the ruling it's fine, only riders bust subsequently are banned for life.
  8. Snap! ​Was wondering why I didn't get my points for Exxaro today! ​Realised that I keep picking the wrong one when using my mobile!
  9. Reading the reports from Table Mountain Bikers who are riding as Hyenas this year, stories of them catching up with guys taking strain in the first few kms of Day 1??
  10. Is it just me or does she take her hands off the handlebars just before she eats s@#t?
  11. Thanks to Team Bulls and a bad Exxaro choice I dropped over 100places! Damn!
  12. Could it have been his tyres?
  13. In the interview before the race she was saying how she had stayed in Europe while the rest of the team came here to train, might have made a difference after all?

  15. Sauser and Kulhavy sound decidely more upbeat than Platt's Pfffft comments about Stage 1
  16. 12:02 Kulhavy: 'I'm feeling good. The crash was unfortunate, but nothing serious. I'm very happy with our ride today, I feel it was a good performance. We are both enjoying the racing.' 12:01 Sauser: 'It went very well for us today. Jaro had a crash just towards the end and at first we were worried that his rim was broken, but it was only a broken valve in the end. We didn’t have a strategy; our plan was simply to get to the front and stay there. That way we can dictate pace and make the others think harder about what they need to do.'
  17. Somebody should tell the Pyga Africa Team guys this then? Saw them chatting about this before the race and they said there's no difference in skill at the sharp end of the Epic, it's more general experience of racing at that level which we lack. Experience gathered as Juniors I reckon.
  18. Would also be great if the drop down options had the same names as the race register? Mixed category has a Thomas and Johan?
  19. Awesome clip but I have to say, less of the riding uphill footage, they just look strange, haha!
  20. Work in the medical field, even these puppies made out of carbon fibre carry disclaimers that there's no guarantee that you will not injure your knee wearing them. There are so many variables as mentioned before! http://p.vitalmx.com/photos/forums/2015/05/26/92432/s1200_Screen_Shot_2015_05_26_at_5.50.54_PM.jpg
  21. Is it just me or does the guy walk into the glass door at about 1:30, top right hand side? EDIT: see it's been mentioned before
  22. Yeah, dilute it for plants or straight down the drain to eliminate odours apparently.
  23. Yip, they don't even have to fit into each other, there's a kind of tray/ seperator at the bottom in order to collect the fertilizer probiotic liquid stuff that would be the only tickt thing to source/ make and a tap with seal at the bottom. But at the end of the day it was also about supporting local.
  24. Ordered off the site and had it delivered direct. If you sign up to the newsletter you get a discount too. You can also order off Faithful to Nature website but even with the additional delivery fee it works out cheaper to go direct
