  1. Can't wait to ride these trails. It's an absolute bucket list climb and downhill!
  2. This exact thing happened to me. At first I thought it was a faulty battery cause I’d charge it full then ride for a short while (rear derailleur battery low) which was puzzling. Yesterday in a race my main battery died, swopped to my spare, dead. Then later tried to other batteries nothing worked. SS for 35km = legs on fire LOL. That led me to the LBC and there they told me about the pin issue. Eish, now to find POP and get a new one. Think of me peeps.
  3. Hoping someone can help. Avianto used to have two sets of trails. One on the property and another 20odd km over the road. Is the second part open as I came across a closed gate a few months ago. Wondering if the land owner got gatvol? Cheers hubbers
  4. Were these trails in the EPIC in March? They look familiar.
  5. Quite a few people have picked up injuries and then it seems like some people are struggling to travel. This race, yoh, it requires so much good fortune to not only arrive in one piece but also finish it.
  6. Hi there, I'm looking at maybe doing it at some point (2022 long shot), but I was wondering if you can share your logistic plans with me? Where are you flying to? How will you get to & fro race etc. Thanks!
  7. With so many entries on the hub, have the organisers stopped people from "transferring" to 2023?
  8. hehe, thanks for the thought bro. Ye, I know, I've ridden "some" trails in the area and absolutely love it. I'll report back on this thread on how it went. #RideOn
  9. Shot for all of this the comments have been super rad. Look, coming off of the bike that I have, I know my rental is going to be a bit of a donkey, but I figured, at least I can ride!
  10. Wouldn't mind gravel roads to get some miles in over a nice long weekend in the winelands.
  11. Shot Robbie, this is awesome! I'm sure ill find my way around. Going to rent a bike from Franschoek cycles and take it from there.
  12. Hi folks, I'm in Franschoek this weekend and would like to ride MTB Friday and Saturday morning. Are their any club rides going out and can someone share some trails with me please?
  13. Ye, I feel for the organisers man. At this point, I have no idea if anything will go ahead this year.
  14. Had my first ever taste of Hennops. Rode the Safari, Sani, Dragon, Snake and Skeleton. Absolutely sublime! Can’t believe it’s taken me this long to get there.
  15. Have you completed an epic? If yes, cool, if no, please comment once you have experienced it. I can assure you, lining up, at least once, is a massive highlight for any avid MTBer.
  16. Hi guys and gals. Has anyone experience an issue with Zwift + Kickr where the Bluetooth connection drops intermittently for a split second dropping your power to 0, then it spikes back up to where you were? I'm fairly clued up re: laptops and I'm wondering if the issue isn't just my laptop as it was perfect before I had upgraded it. I've also recently added a wifi extender into my training room, so just wondering if anyone has had this and factors played a part? Cheers.
  17. My mate went to test it and broke his collarbone 4km in. It would have been his 5th Epic.
  18. Thanks for this Johan. Sounds awesome. Care to share some activities on Strava or your profile so I can connect?
  19. Thanks for sharing. When last have you been around Piet Skiet? I tried (my first time) yesterday, but was stopped with big yellow "no entry" signs at the Piet Skiet entrance (a friend that had done it a few times confirmed we were at the right place. Do you know whats going on and if there are any options? I did find quite a few yellow boards with black arrows when coming back and it seems like some routes are now marked in that area behind Northerns? Cheerio
  20. Hi, we tried the route today and at the entrance of Piet Skiet new fence is up with yellow no entry signs. Anyone know what's the deal? Any alternatives?
