24 hours mtb at Oak Valley is on the same day

Entry in - can't wait !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Merida agents only sell the whole kit, which includes all pivot bearings, bushings, bolts etc. I don't need all of that.

I'll be in George. Riding every day. In the forests and mountains

I have a Merida 96 with a Fox XFusion rear shock. The bolt that goes through the bottom DU bushes is bent. (Quite a common problem) Where can I find a new one? Thanks

It should only take you about an hour. Sometimes 2 hours if you have to do it twice. Sometimes 3 hours if you have to do it 3 times. Sometimes 4 hours... You get the point about Avid brakes yet?

Please check out this video my friends made: 2011 OTTER TRAIL VIDEO

What if you joined PPA recently? How does that work? I joined 3 months ago, but my 2012 CSA license is not showing...

Not if your seeding is inversely proportional to how your wife feels about you cycling... G will have to do for now.

Cool, made it from Z to G in 3 months

I wonder if it will become like the other "Argus seeding" race they have in Oudtshoorn. They only had about 150 people there this year because they are so lazy with the organization...

I hate them! But let's be honest, in an emergency - they really work!

I know, but this wasn't a racing team. They were really slow. What's the point?

On a side note: I met a team along the way who seemed to be made up of 6 rich guys, who paid another 6 strong guys R1000 each, to ride with them, push them up the hills, do all the work, etc. I had a laugh

Hahaha - at least you can laugh at this. It would make a good comis strip.

I might have been living in a cave, but I just saw in the new Bicycling that SRAM have a new 11-32 cassette... WOW!

I think if you really want to move up quicker - enter some events with friends that are stronger than you and plan to ride together. That's what the outriders are doing.

This has happened in every bunch I have ever finished in. I would have it no other way.

Is there anyway to get my cycling computer to give my average speed and ride time as the total ride time? i.e. I don't want it to stop counting when I stop for a few minutes. I have a Cateye Velo wireless. (I know, probably not possible)

Hey! You try climbing Kloof Nek with an extra 20kg strapped to your tummy !!!

Flip, I am so going to do some of these next year!!!

The Mr Pice tops are horrible. It feels like you're wearing it the wrong way around! Go to Rapid Sports and ask for their over-runs or old stock. I picked up a few "training" tops for R50 / R100 each. You'll probably get a Tzaneen or GoAfrica flavour, but that's ok. But I agree with the above - those house blends of theirs are a bit wierd!

Ya, but I gotta ride from Table View as well, so it's 52km. If we do the round house again, I'll join!

Actually I'm just reducing the volume, but keeping the intensity.
