epoh, that sounds like a lethel concogsion, pitty that i cant get eggs in my stomach. I only race mtb, prefer endurance races. anyone tried the biogen stuff from ccycle lab. looking for some good stuf to tackle the Epic with. Help please

Also have this problem in some races(MTB), now they do a pre-race-ride with GPS, problem solved.

Used stuff from ESPI, worked GREAT!!! but apperently their sponsor to the Bulls team wasn't good idea, now they are no more, as far as I know. I'm using energy dynamics and sometimes Game(works great as well). Was introduced to Hammer 2 weeks ago, works well, too expensive over here, their "gu" did nothing for me, but the "shake" works like hell.

I use camelback, 3L, don't have the weight problem, light bike, light ass. bottles almost never seal properly @ the valve, unless you use camelback bottles 1skinnyman2007-09-04 06:51:09

Also had a Thule no-towbar clip on, used it once and sold it for 1/4 of the price, damaged boot. Fitted towbar and using Holdfast now. Much better!

no not for your team, some oke in cpt, that also need one. for your team i will ask around in my cycling circle

Team of 3 looking for another partner. PmM me for contact details.

michH, at the moment no, but i'm doing a 3-day this weekend, will ask around. How serious/fit must this person be. male or female? Pm your email address to me so i can put u in touch if i find someone1skinnyman2007-08-22 02:52:49

not a chance of going solo, team of 4, seeing it as an adventure and not a race.

Hell yeah! can't miss me, u bringing a team from your side? need 2 train as soon as its getting hot again, otherwise the same as last year might happen...

this is now lekker k*k, can't get into epic www.

cu guys 2morrow, maybe, depending on workload, going 4 a 15k ride now.

nice, i need a better one, enry level coil at the moment, budget a bit restricted what average priced and known brand, so i can still get parts easy, fork do u recommend?1skinnyman2007-08-21 10:31:22

ja, thats the one, pitty cause that would have been good prep for epic, contact them asap 4 next year then

must admit that i'm very jealous of u guys(MTB) in SA, you have sooooooooooooo much more races than us. thinking of going down 2 do the hill2hill or hell & back, dont know which one, also not sure where its held but appently exellent BTW, what fork do u ride?1skinnyman2007-08-21 10:23:03

i can understand why some rides want/need a HRM, like u say a plan. my plan comes in form of my wife, she can really get u going on a bike. will see this weekend how fit i am, 3-day event comming up and riding with y epic partner

Read about this program on the epic site, dont own a polar anymore, ride much more enjoyable when ridng without one

Hell no, took those refectors off b4 i rolled it from the shop!

How many hours a week will you spend trianing

Great to c i'm not the only 1 with entry level mtb

So Robo, hows the training comming?

So, what is good front shock to change to, have an entry level, coil. Need something better that will survive the Epic, but unfortunately my budget is smallish1skinnyman2007-08-21 08:00:04

Must agree with you Konafan regarding carbon, but the moola is not always there to get the carbon.

Didn't get the mail, but a call from a friend's friend asking if I was interested to join him for '08, obviously I am in!!!

Speed evil, I only ride MTB (13kg) and I'm very light for my height - 56kg @ 1,80m. Some guys in my group with 8,5kg bikes can't keep up on the hills and not able to catch up on the downs. Tried the light bike and the result was the same, although I lost speed on the downs. Needless to say I don't really care about the weight of my bike.
