I remember reading this post and thinking how awesome it is when these riders succeed. Strong race results, new sponsors, doors opening up....... Doping is SO uncool Carmen Buchacher added 3 new photos.5 November 2017 · Final stage of Wines2Whales! What an incredible event. My personal strongest w2w yet . Although and unfortunately we did not quite close the gap of 5 seconds I appreciate Michelle's fighting spirit. 4th place overall!!!

The Bloem crowd always put on a great XCO event there

Any update on how Jason is doing?

YES! He is someone who definitely deserves help

Bike is fine. Make sure you sign up for a good maintenance package for during the event. Spend more time training than you think you will need. Agree with PhilipV, go for skills training

entry done, looking forward to it!!

Agree that good tyre protection is vital for Epic. Also, consider the extent of the climbing that will be done, you don't want heavy wheels. Both my partner and I are riding Rocket Ron front and Racing Ralph rear (snakeskin). Strong enough, light enough, grippy enough.

Hosting races is expensive, sponsors want value & people are short of cash. I agree that 'back to basics' races/events may be a great option. Simple, no frills etc. Unfortunately timing and medics are expensive but necessary.

KZNMTB screwed the pooch...... I don't think so. At least that was not the intention of the proposed split. I met with Nige to discuss/propose this move and he accepted. KZNMTB will continue to work with KZN Gravity where and when needed. We both report into KZN Cycling, who also support this move. The intention is to give Gravity the opportunity to run the sport how they/the riders want it run - as mentioned by Grebel. It is not a matter of KZNMTB being disinterested in Gravity, we just do not have the resources to run all disciplines how they should be run. Sponsors are key to the success of both KZNMTB and KZN Gravity and we will help each other here. If this 'split' does not work out for Gravity, we will go back to the previous structure. Hey, there can't be progress if we don't try out new ideas.

Thanks Nigel, The KZNMTB lap racing dates will remain the same, we are however still negotiating the venues. This will be finalized early next week. Ian

Another exco member resigned just before him, same reasons.

my guess, he was doing some awesome work, but it was like smashing your head against a solid wall. When you find yourself potentially at risk due to others lack of action....... it's a no brainer

You are going to come across 'those' people your whole life; whether in business, on your bike, on holiday, driving in traffic etc etc. Just keep being the better person. Race organizers do have a big challenge in trying to avoid this type of congestion, it is not always possible to keep the different races away from each other.

Pyga Stage - just love mine! Great looks, fantastic local service, Local, 2 bottle cages. Winner!

Try Mankele bike park, about 30km outside Nelspruit. SA MTB champs were held there earlier this year, great trails. You can also camp or stay in chalets.

I am with you here, I am losing faith in people at a rapid rate. As mentioned before, the more people I meet, the more I love my dog....

Still got mine, love it

BIG friggin party if it does..........

Great stuff! KZNMTB are also contributing. We need to look after our riders.

..... with competent people in place who are held accountable for their actions.

Fully agree! Great range, nice & light and cheaper than Eagle. Also, you can keep your 1x11 shifter and derailleur

Should be live on Redbull TV

My wife has the Fuse. Basic bike, easy to maintain, fun to ride, looks great. Happy wife, happy life...

Most of A batch took a wrong turn early on and missed out about 9km. Happened to me, strangely I only realized I had gone wrong right near the end. Pity, but hell it was a great ride.

Bought one for my daughter, very easy to use and gives you all the info you need on a ride
