American Flyers

I understand why lots of guys DNF Epic because most of them are not real MTB riders and they have too much money to throw. They think they can buy Epic medal and not prepare well. I noticed that they only start cycling one year ago with no technicals or experiences.. That is crazy! I feel you have to ride at least 2/3 years before doing Epic...

It is difficult to say, for me it is most important if you break the frame tomorrow, who will replace sooner? Any contacts available? I hate to wait for months for frame replacement !!!!

The more water you use, the more you must pay for sewerage.... I work with wastewater treatment works and lots of wastewater treatment plants in SA could not cope with the flow. The governement or municipality did not put enough money to improve the plants in past 10years, so they have to find extra money to improve the plants, otherwise they leak to the rivers. You will not believe it.....

They always say, Use 4 fingers as width between top of handlebar and top of saddle. I suggest that you go for bike setup and get a copy of your setup and keep it as record...

They put Sub-Vet and Juniors with Elites and pros......as part of Category 1

You need BB30 adaptor, so that you can use GXP cranks

It hardly rain in March, but the south east wind might be a problem!!

Very disappointing! No Trek, Giant and Specialized bikes !!!! Not enough 29er bikes!!!! What is wrong with Shimano? Need to see new groupset! Sram up! Cannondale, GT, Focus and Pinerallo good show! No sexy ladies! No BMX show like before! Why don't they have Expo on open field near Stadium? Cheaper and plenty of parking!!

They need to put sign up by the boom gate, so that if something happened, we can always phone the right number. Maybe the guy in white bakkie is put off with us, cyclist because nearly every weekend, at least 5 people get badly injured, so he had to go open gate all the time. Also the signs show that we should not be in the forest before 7 and after 6, but we all train bf work and after work

I got myself membership card and I hardly show at the gate for almost 2 years because I ride between 5 and 7am, while TMP guys are still asleep.... WHat is the point of having card? I don't see TMP guys putting the money back to single-tracks.... We repaired ourselves.... No signs! R35 per entrance is far too much! especially for 2hrs ride

It is so sad and I will miss those 2 guys. They made me to start cycling and I better climb suikerbossie like him....

Show us a photo with bicycle on it! & how to keep bike upright?

Tubbies is for racing only and they wear quickly, but it is light and fast. I use Stan inside tubbies to help to prevent punctures, but it can be messy!! I use tubbies on racing carbon wheels and I use cheap tough tyres on training clincher wheels...

It is raining in town now....

<p>What about Vets? Which group must they ride???</p> <p> </p>

Maybe one of 360 team rider noticed something strange on Barry's top and report to their manager or sponsor, so they complained.... Next time Barry can ride without top! It is not about the top.... It is more than being jealous.....

Hilux bakkies are the best! I remember my brother rolled the bakkie and it went home....

I remember last year at the Argus, A group caught up with Vets group and they just sat behind Vets until the ends..

It is funny that CSA nearly went bankrupt and now they want to take over PPA because PPA makes millions from good organising.... Maybe they must get rid of all members of CSA and let PPA become WPCA, then all the provinces must vote new members for CSA and they must make sure that CSA do their job properly.....

TDF is becoming boring when they take drugs because they all ride close each other. If you look years back, some riders ride well, and suffer next day and ride better on following day. That makes the race interesting! like Hinault vs Lemond...

I hear that 2 bikes broke and they blame one slow rider blocking their way.....

I thought Master is over 50??? Strange!!

I better see Doctor soon, than wasting my money on physio....... I thought I pulled my forarm muscles and I had few acupunctures already, but not much improved...

I wonder if any cyclists get Golf or Tennis elbow injury from cycling??? The physio told me that I had golf elbow injury and I don't play golf or tennis. I only ride, but I did not fall in the last 6months. I am not sure if I got it from cycling or not??? I can't even carry suitcase or lift my hand up with a bit of weight...

We need to tell Contractor to finish off the surface of the road before the Argus and start last part of the road after the Argus. This makes sense!! We can bribe the Contractor like the governments.....
