  4. hi, I am going that route for attakwas. Everyone knows what happened to 360life in epic with these but I talked to one of my mates who's done 2 epics and an attekwas with it and won the namib quest with it and had no issues whatsoever. Good enough for me. Ive done 2 offroad rides and they are pretty awesome, reminds me of schwalbes.

    attekwas advice

    thanks, seems like its not unnecessary to take food along and its neccesary to start slow. will remember that,

    attekwas advice

    any advice for a first timer, with regards to managing yourself properly and eating properly? how much food should you take along or is the waterpoints well stocked? would normal bottles suffice? ive heard camelback could work better as people tend to lose bottles? not that keen for a camelback > heat. wishing to ride around 7-30
  7. I saw these guys the other day, goign up tiekiedraai holding onto a car. They are wearing german kit and some of them have got monster big legs, German track team training in RSA perhaps? dont know, but they had all the traffic backup up behind them going up tiekiedraai. Not cool!
  8. always get great personal service there! go Cyclefunatic!
  9. RIP Burry, true SA hero....
  10. sounds like good attekwas training, what would the total distance be and what kind of riding time are you guys looking at?
  11. do anyone know how the seeding works? i got a no of 123 in the mtb and 2202 for the road, dont know where I will be starting and just curious?
  12. I think I eliminated my chances when I asked the oldcootbiker if it comes with maxxis ikon tyres!?
  13. so which Scott employee wrote this article?
  14. Malcolm Lange ‏ @LangeMalcolm Close So I have a rider @ianmcleod80 with a damaged shoulder cause the rules are broken again 375 starters in Elite bunch! Why do we licence? 7:44 AM - 12 Mar 12 via UberSocial for BlackBerry · Details do you guys know what happened here, where there to many riders in the first bunch? illegaly? how do they manage to get in there?
  15. feel like shedding a tear when reading this, worked hard for my A seeding, trained hard for a good argus, havent been sick in 18months and picked up the flu this week. Last of antibiotics today and feeling much better, hoping for a overnight miracle full recovery and then I will see you guys there in A. Have to make the call tomorrow. Otherwise if I dont recover I might just cruise a 5-6hour argus with the guys from the Give ma a chance childrens foundation in their charity bunch.(but that would be a massive anticlimax :-)
