MTBc

i saw a comment here on thehub along the lines of "redstone is one of the toughest 50km events in the area"... i would assume excluding the monster, of course. keen to try it out, have ridden sections of it. probably next on my list.

so 2gb upload post-editing?

mine came in at 1594m (recorded on my phone). My edge 305 decided to wig out, turning off on random bumpy sections. Missing 45m - 1h of riding... It's usually a little more accurate, but haven't even uploaded yet.

He looks like cpt jean luc picard.

well done gav. I'm sitting at my desk today wishing i was riding it again, wanting to do better. 363 more days, more or less, still....

after the monster, i'm thinking of using it for longer rides. this was my longest ride in the saddle (6 hrs).

My first monster done and dusted. 2 punctures before the 45km split were fun. Managed to graciously land near-bail at the top between the 2 peaks, catching my bike mid air as I endo'd over one of those drop offs. The head over heels stint down the monster wasn't as gracious, though my ego was less bruised than my legs: no witnesses Came in at just over 6 hours after hitting a wall in the last 3kms. Massage followed by beers went down like a home sick mole. Can't wait for the next one

Ya saw him at the top looking for a hanger. He eventually decided to remove links firm his chain and was gonna attempt some sort of on the fly ss rig

And will you take that mohawk of your helmet now?

What the... did "Nicholas Potts" REALLY think he'd get away with it with a surname like that.

less than 1 day, 23 pages. sjoe.

its a long fred. and growing quicker than an oke on PED's biceps (no disrespect Barry)

i know its a repost... but anyway...

*edit* after reading through more of the thread... big up MTBaaisikilist for taking responsibility to your actions.

hahaha... love that segment... "Magalies Monster 40km Race: 68.4km"

Jinne, that profile looks SO much more chilled than the profile they've posted on the site, all squished up. was quite daunting, but now feeling a little better How long before beer goes flat / warm if you empty it into your camelbak?

trying to find that "ultra gay..." poster someone posted a couple of days ago...... welcome.

Sure.... I'll have my wristband on, so I can. Rode in again today. getting saddle-ass in preparation for the event. Tomorrow is rest day

Hey.... you have to guy.... it was given to you with <3

heya, the "website" link posted above is broken. found it on http://www.asgevents.co.za/pages/events/raceSignUp.php?id=127

will probably be back out there in the next 3 or 4 days and will see if the tail numbers visible. If you check on Google Earth, the dude has a boat in his yard too. 26° 4'3.77"S 27°55'7.75"E

You're doing it wrong. http://www.makro.co.za/p/22247/totem-26-mens-xc100-mountain-bike/ with Powerful VEE brakes!

we all started riding together in the last few months. their xmas list this year consisted of 80% riding-related stuff.

I'm riding it anyway, but hopping on at the William Nicol Pick n Pay section. (Car-los day tomorrow). AM Ride: 7:15 - Grab a coffee at the Caltex / Fresh Stop on Witkoppen (just before Leslie). Ride up Witkoppen hop onto the Spruit. Head through to William Nicol. PM Ride: Get to William Nicol (Pick n Pay) around 16:50, 17h00 head up the Spruit back to Paulshof and back along Witkoppen, possibly stop at the O Hagans for a cold one. If there's a group heading through from Fratelli's side, I'll hang around at William Nicol to join up, if anyone wants to join from there, feel free. I'll have uncoordinated lycra, black mtb shoes and hairy legs, riding a Silverback 29er (that doesn't make me go faster), bru. (just to clarify R.S.C.S.).
