Baby steps.... excuse the pun

just import it bud; amazing how importers and shops put the responsibility on you as the client to phone 20 different people to get 20 different answers and the pay a whopper of a premium on top of it. retail in SA needs to shape up or do what business do that don't....

Double down on your updates!! how on earth can something like this irritate someone; just stop clicking on the thread if its such a pain. Hope that little one fattens up like a champ!

uuurgh, no idea what you are talking about- "documented on Facebook" ..... no link, no nothing....

The mysterious competition Canyon.

I've spent 150 randelas on things with far worst odds!

No worries, in general I'm a pretty nice and accomodating guy out on the trails.

thanks for the lecture; as you were.

the ps part is exactly what we were all talking about right from the beginning till it became a "prevailing attitude" comment.

Seeing that we are doing selective qouting; would you mind showing us "fun riders" the left hand side of "sandy single track"

Think you chaps obviously ignored the rest of sentence; the issue is not making space for a guy. The issue is dont shout at other riders to get out of their way, when 1: its single track on which they are moving at a pretty good clip 2: racing in another way shorted distance and feeling frisky is all good; but dont shout at me from 20 m away to pull up and deadstop, if you want to mix 30 km racing snakes with marathon distance riders, then accept the above. 3: the specific situation we were 7 riders moving at the same pace, were everyone suppose to stop and pull over every 15 m for these guys to come past. Nope

Get what you mean on the hill, but thats part and parcel of mtb; same as the climb last year at Epic behind Vondeling- not a single person (pros included) could ride it. As for the second part- yip, had some 30k "racing snake" youngster also shouting left right and center for everyone to move over for them on the sandy single track next to that lovely green river.... you want to pass.... get past on your own.

Dibs on sponsoring these two guys, taking out a second morgage- but we are kicking ass next year in pro circuit!

A bit of a tip of the hat need to go to Lombard from Bloemendal who is pushing and facilitating all the route developments.

Timing issue?
