  1. I'm flippin happy to be one of the lucky 100 who got early bird entry's, elite or not, water or no water. For me it is about riding those trails with my mate
  2. Great event this, well worth any potential logistics difficulties getting there and back
  3. has any progress been made on finding the fool that hit him?
  4. what about getting a local private investigator in to track down the driver? Happy to contribute to this
  5. starting to slowly move away from the traditional high carb, low fat diet that was prescribed by a dietitian. Doing away with grains, sugar, refined foods incl pasta and bread. Baby potatoes, sweet potatoes, fish, chicken, fresh fruit and raw veg is dominating at present. No compromise on beer though. feeling better, riding pretty much the same
  6. Great pics, nice way to promote the series
  7. R3500 does make more sense. I have just paid R5000 for a RC7000 10spd Ultegra
  8. MTB needs more lady riders. While riding in the 20km races behind my daughter, I have noticed more ladies riding this year, and they seem to be having fun. Not sure about the other regions, but there are many ladies skills clinics and ladies riding groups in KZN. Try a skills course and make sure you are on a 'forgiving' bike. Don't go XCO race bike like many do, it makes life much tougher if you are learning.
  9. its hard working pedaling the fatties up long hills. Great on short, sharp hills where grip is required, but the extra weight and resistance works against you on climbs
  10. My wife has the 6 fattie hardtail. Bought it for her due to increased stability and for the fun factor. It has great grip and is a blast to ride but for marathon type events I would go 29er as it will be faster and easier to ride over longer distances.
  11. If it is the 650C, I want it
  12. Raceday for me and my kids. A fantastic product developed locally. No artificial flavorings or colourants. Easy to consume, even after many hours on the bike. Well priced too. http://www.racedayfuel.co.za/
  13. No downside in my opinion. Try Colin from Kalbo, good product at great prices http://www.kalbo.co.za/
  14. can't wait for the day that my lightie can power away from me.....
  15. what is worse, these racing lighties who don't carry spares, or the racing lighties who late enter races, start near the back and then cause chaos pushing through the field??
  16. Ja, been there too. Even worse is training rides with mates who never carry spares. They too forget to replace bombs etc... Makes one a little less willing to help out.
  17. The Stage is really an awesome bike. I'm going to let mine loose at the Berg & Bush Descent next week, the perfect machine for those trails.
