Suikerbos is great for the roadies but not for mtb'ers.

I don't think any venue is totally safe anymore. I'm currently training for a stage race and have to do 4-5 hr flattish rides on Sundays. Northern Farm was perfect for this. No matter where I ride, even if I start when there are crowds around it ends up quiet at the end of my ride.

I agree Cat-i. I have spent a lot of time riding there on my own. Looks like I'm going to have to train on my IDT as I cannot risk doing long rides at the Farm anymore. Glad no one got injured. I'm actually not surprised by the incidents though.

I've just received this email. Take note that today's incident was on the farm itself. Dear Mandy, <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> There have been a number of incidents at or near the farm in the last few weeks. Regrettably this is a sign of the times. Last weekend cyclsists were hijacked near Heronbridge College, and a car was stolen form the farm. On Wednesday a cyclist was hijacked on the Hills and Dales road and today there was an attempted hijacking on the farm. As I understand it, the perpetrator did not get away with the bicycle and was chased off by a farm worker. He was subsequently caught. The lady who was the victim of this incident did not hang around and we need her to urgently make contact with me on 0824148604. We have placed a car guard at the car park and implemented patrols on the farm utilising young men from Diepsloot who have been involved in the development project. We strongly recommend that you do not ride on your own during this time and particularly the ladies and also recommend that you avoid the Hills and Dales road outside of the farm.

Eye sea sew!

No, not mocking you mtbNoob. I will never mock someone about their spelling. Some of the most intelligent people I know battle with their spelling. Two of my friends who have their doctorates are very poor spellers! I believe that you're either good at it or not. It is not something that one can master by studying hard etc. Just having a little fun with Spud. He knows that I'm teasing him.

Some people just dont know when to use or not use apostrophe's. Is that better? M'u'c'h b'e't't'e'r, t'h'a'n'k's.

you said it wrong' date=' she's a laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaydeeeeeeeeeeeeeee![/quote'] What I meant is "treat her like the laaaaaydeeee she is". I am not surprised that there are so few ladies on the Hub. The treatment that some of female Hubbers receive at times is embarrassing and disrespectful.

I'm sure Dirt*girl's husband entertains her enough. Best you guys behave and treat her like a lady.

I also raise my finger but get real rude replies !!!! Should I rather raise my thumb and not middle finger ? The middle finger is fine. Just raise your index finger as well and the rude replies will cease. Peace!

I greet everyone but I am a mountain biker. Most people don't greet back but I don't care. I generally just raise my fingers as a wave whilst still holding onto the handlebar if I am out of breath.

I agree.

http://www.bicicletta.co.za/GenuineInnovations/Genuine%20Innovations_Tubeless%20Repair%20Kit.htm I always carry the tubeless repair kit and I've just bought this pump which is really small: http://www.bicicletta.co.za/CrankBrothers/crank_brothers_Pumps.htm#Power_Pump_Pro You should carry at least one tube.

Marathon is between 40kms and 120kms according to UCI rules.

Definitely needs correcting. Check your marathon distance.

Nice one Hog_

My first mtb ride ever was a 13km race at Groenkloof 6 days after I bought my first bike. I loved it! Depends on the person I guess. If you take a newbie to Groenkloof I would advise staying off the singletrack and sticking to the main roads.
