Learn't yesterday that one can claim Vitality points for races competed in by entering into the SA Active website for points this year. Requires login, however free. www.sa-active.com Although teadous, can gain some extra vitality points which always does not go amiss. P.S. 2013 can enter directly into discovery (New website)

Sent pm, Thanks Nigel

Down on the 21st and leaving the 28th, give or take a day

Never had the opportunity to ride giba, will be staying just up / down the road in Hillcrest, any advice to a novice giba gorge rider. What's the protocol in joining up for rides or does one just go and ride so to speak?

So the 16:15 ride only actual starts at 16:30?

2nd that !!!

Thanks Mr G, straight into iPad

Bastards!!!!

And I thought mine were bad, Half the break disk support also gone Cradle Quest

Been contemplating also doing the J2C, see they got the Red Bull "racing stages" included in the race. Looks interesting!

Also saw them doing this (mid twenties oke doing 70km - blue board) Used a similar strategy, tool in a can and silicone as all i had fri evening. Other used on the offroad bikes are: Mr Min Q20 Silcone

Hi Karma, on a Scott presently and happy with it, just a little brand banter jumping on the back on Haleyearth comment.

Shame to the organisers for yet another overlooked item

Agreed scott all the way!

Wearing Metal or mud should I say!

These look good, compared to the tangled mess I took out. Even the spring mechanism was toast...

Washed mine twice yesterday, again today and still mud coming out of holes and spaces. Flooded with the Tool in a can, loosens, cleans and Lubes too.

MUD, MUD, MUD,MUD, Glorious mud!! Did the short route 40.78km (started as 35 and told at the maybe 38.5?? Who's guess) Was supposed to do the 70km, thanks to those organizers stating it will start at 8. Delayed 30mins. A blessing however! Jcza, how did you get a water? Better treasure that medal! Put it down to good training, fitness bike skills and another day at the big VG, All good! P.S apologies only saw the castle light sponsor riders posting last night, otherwise would have come past.

TOPWINE : So why don't CSA regulate bicycles to "post man pat type units", supplied by X factory............ Bull K@K Rather spent the money on expensive bike / specialised training / riding clinic's - hence development of the sport. Enhancers are short term... and many side affects (And if you need those extra few grams, visit the porcelain prior to riding)

Nice one, another afkak! Awesome, looking forward to it! All probability it will be a scorcher of a day too.

NO! NO ! NO!..... No more pic's jcza Missing this one! Riding Triple Challenge hope it is as good!

To all, have an awesome ride.. Should be awesome, best of luck and ENJOY!

Vittorio Brumotti set a new Guinness World Record. At 19 o'clock on October 18, 2012, 100% Brumotti is ready to begin the incredible climb of the highest tower of the earth, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. A final check with the timekeepers and the Emaar Staff, who will follow the feat to ensure everything will run smoothly. At 20 the official start of the Judge. The first few floors are dealt with smoothly. The limited space does not allow for mistakes nor to take risks: he calculates every single step to reduce strain and maintain the focus. Everyting goes according to plan and Vittorio keeps a good pace overcoming the steps smoothly. The high humidity rate takes the toll on the athlete and makes the feat even harder. After the hundredth floor a strange noise comes from the rear wheel. On the 101 floor the inconvenience happens: the carbon support of the rear brake cracks. Vittorio could change the bike, but he decides to continue for almost 10 floors yet without relying on the rear brake. Finally the bike change and without losing concentration, he starts again to tackle the hardest part. There are still 50 floors to reach the top. The latest ramps are very hard and Vittorio starts experiencing fatigue. After two hours there are still a few meters to get the altitude of 828 meters. 100% Brumotti “grits his teeth” and reaches the milestone of the 160th floor in the incredible time of 2 hours and 20 minutes, climbing 3700 steps. A great satisfaction for his eighth Guinness World Record achievement. Amazing !

Any idea when the MTB seeding out?

Anyone found link too results. Great time I think are the timekeepers
