Shew, some folk being oversensitive on this. Very much a tongue in cheek piece. Interestingly with some of the venomous posts, it kinda proves the point to some degree
Look some stuff just comes with it on, like some socks, helmets and glasses. Which personally, I don't think is right. But it is what it is. For the record I do own an original world champ jersey from 91 I think ... But I don't wear it, just got it as memorabilia with the intention of actually getting the thing framed. Still folded up in mah cupboard
I don't personally, although I don't see anything wrong with it. No different to a supporter wearing their favorite team's jersey. The only exception though is people wearing kit with World Champ stripes, thinks thats something that should be left to the people that earned them.
Bloody nice, no worrie bout the pic man .... With the fork though, maybe consider keeping the black, will compliment the bike nicely with the black Coitec graphic.
I dunno hey, the two venues are actually that far apart I think it actually accommodates a larger spread of riders. On the other thread ... https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/104452-the-vlei-24-hour/page__st__100
+100% ... Look at main road on the bridge next to Bryanston Bike Park, everyone and their dog chasing up the emergency lane to turn left. Then some cow has the gall to lean on her hooter as I turn left from the actual lane in front of her, what was I thinking eh.
Regardless, it doesn't excuse or condone taking that action. It's upto you to confirm the procedure for entering, no one else. It's easy enough to confirm these things well beforehand before driving to any event. Geez man.
As well, used to stay just behind the koppies on the Westdene side. There were some issues, but I think the RA, security and SAPS have tackled problems there. Have ridden a few times there lately with no issues. Other than todays off the bike excursion into the graveyard fence.
Dont forget the Spruit, really accessible and under rated! Plus if you're looking at a longer loop it links up with Emmerentia, Melville Koppies and Alberts Farm.
I keep a couple hangars and a spray bottle at the office, one to four mix of fabric softener and water. Give it a shake and just spritz a mist onto the creases if any. Yesterday I used the car but took the bike with the view of riding home in the eve, after our night ride. When I got back in the office after being out I realised I never packed riding shorts, so the jean pants got the snip and I was good to go.
Bike park has coffee shop, toilets, burger stand, parking and security staff, staff for trails as well as those in the club house, then Riaan who manages the place, a wash area, deck area with umbrellas, large screen TV for cycling coverage. That's besides all the trails with bridges, entrys and exits, the drainage, BMX track and medical staff on call and on site during weekends. Yeah, piss poor for R1600.
You guys are talking about two different XC disciplines altogether. XCM and XCO. Theres an XCO series here, but it's not properly supported. By both out national body and the riders. Mind you, when Fritz and co ran the National XCO series it was in a far healthier state than it is currently, that's another discussion on it's own though.
