Herewith a quick run down for MTB Categories, have a look at this link. Nipper Boys 10 and under NB Sprog Boys 11-12 SB Sub Junior Boys 13-14 JB Youth Men 15-16 YM Junior Men 17-18 JM U23 Men 19-22 UM Senior / Elite Men 19-29 SM Sub Vet Men 30-39 SV Vet Men 40-49 VM Master Men 50-59 MM Grand Master Men 60 and over GM http://www.cyclingsa.com/Downloads/SA%20MTB%20Racing%20Categories%20V5%20%28DOC%205%29.pdf

That is the incorrect link as the company that took the photos were called "photmarx" you can find all the photos here: http://www.photomarx.co.za/products/mtb_races/crazy_croc_mtb

Any ideas as to when we will be able to view the photos ? And where ?

It seems that there will be a race on 11 Feb at the krugersdorp reserve: I got the info from the cyclelab website. Category: Mountain Biking Events Event Date: 11 February 2012 Entries Close: 8 February 2012 at 23:00 Venue: Krugersdorp Game Reserve Province: Central Gauteng Distance: 40km (R150), 20km (R100), Starting Time: 08:00 Timed By: Spectrum Sport Timing

26" Giant Revel 0 HT - serves me well as I've only been riding for a year, but I reckon the upgrades would start to appear soon

:drool: Would be awesome if they are open, as I would to go and try some new tracks!

Hi, It's a good bike - I bought my wife a similar one last year. What are you basing your decision on to buy a Titan? Did you shop around for other brands, or maybe even look for a good spec 2nd hand bike here on the hub.

If someone can provide me with a xls or text file with all the races I will gladly create the outlook calendar file.

Hi, For some stupid reason I'm unable to find ANY photos on their website; nevermind even trying to find a photo of myself. Would anybody know if they just take their time to upload the photos to their webserver ? If so when would one be able to search for photos. Thanx, Robert

This sucks... now what about us working folk.. can we comp and get the saturday/sunday ?

Have a look at the Giant Revel 0 as well. Giant Revel 0 I bought the Revel for myself and my wife's got the Merida (TFS 100-D)

Would that be R5900 per bike ?

hmm... I don't have patience.

Hi Everybody, I saw an ad for a new cycle shop called: "The sports basement" has anybody been there ? As the website still doesn't seem to work and I haven't been able to get to Woodmead. www.thesportsbasement.co.za Thanx, Robert

Awesome!! Will be there. :clap:

Has anybody been out to this track/trail in the past month - is still open ? As we are looking for some other trails/routes in the Pretoria area.

I had the same sort of experience! (buying a piece of land) - It carried on for about a month and I finally went to the physio and he said it was a muscle that stiffened on impact; thus the pain when trying to lift your arm above should height. It might be worth it to go to the physio, my shoulder is now a lot better (2 months down the line) but still not 100%

Brilliant!

Let the shopping begin!! Congrats the new site looks good!

"drooling" on the twitter page it seems that they will be going live at 14.00

Now this is great news, another new trail to go and play in. What sort of cost are we looking at? And how long is the route now? We will be coming through on sunday!

Yipee!!! I finally got a decent bike, well considering my previous one was a makro/game special - and the singeltracks and mtb fun has grown on me - so it was time for a investment. Cannot wait for groenkloof on saturday! It's going to be great! Some more information My Giant Revel 0

Hi Everybody, I found this on the www.mtbroutes.co.za website? Has anybody been out there? As it seems like a worthwhile outing! MTBroutes Getting there N’kosi Sana Game Lodge is set among the scenic hills of Groenfontein, an hour outside of Pretoria. On your bike This extensive property has approximately 50km of jeep tracks and game paths which should satisfy all levels of rider. Although it is only an hour out of Pretoria, you’ll experience pristine bushveld with plenty of game along your route. Sixteen game species can be observed along the trails from steenbok to giraffe. The terrain is very hilly which ensures interesting riding, with two fountains and a river for refreshing stops as well as some water passages for riding. Off your bike In addition to the game drives and walks, the birding and fishing, the lodge has table tennis, beach volleyball, a billiards and snooker table, and archery, of all things!

Yes!! Sounds like fun and a good idea!

True that - we normally do that if we are a bunch of people going riding; a bit more of a hassle when it's just me and missus! But I get your point - it's always the best to light a fire and talk about the ride and near falls!
