Cost and components?

Very naaaaaice! How much did she set you back?

What's your fitness like now. Maybe we can do some walking together?

Lol Ok, so I do about 300 to 400 a month, do a fair amount of medium hills and am about 5kg over weight. I rate my fitness at around 6.5 to 7. And I don't eat pies, but make up for it in copious amounts of beer! So what do you think?

Mojo, I'm probably at my fittest yet at the moment and believe I am relatively hill fit. However I am no race snake. How would you gauge the monster against the redstone crazy croc? As I'm fitter than I was then. Hell this could be funny if I do 75km

Also considering the monster (75km) sometimes I feel that driving that far, a half marathon is too short. So how bad(hard) is it actually?

My favorite race! If I remember correctly it was through entry time last year, but the race is so small you can always do an entry on the day. Make a weekend of it! Its always great fun.

The rule of thumb is that you first try resolve with the company in question and when/if this fails, **** em!

Firstly I think you should name and shame so no fellow hubbers fall into the trap

Can't we just shoot the ****ers?

Took one for a spin the other day, it was a large and I take a medium, so did some pavement cruising and curb hopping and it felt great. I presume there is a fair amount of flex in the carbon as it was not too hard on my back and it didn't feel bulky like a previous naainer that I rode. I'm tempted to take the plunge and buy one

Found 1 for 21k and took it for a test ride. Very very nice! Rather tempting.

If it was a beer and a smoke I wouldn't be forced to start a rant thread on thehub! lol

Nah, that you stopped in the middle of the single track for a peanut butter sarmie and a chat.

Don't forget the sound of other riders shouting "Trek"!

I like it when other riders shout "trek", its almost the same as wearing a "power balance band"

Pack a lot of water and get lost out there a few times! Its the best way to learn the trails and also adds some fun to the ride. Now days when I ride that side I always plan my route so for a stop at the Spaza shop for a refill!

The entry fee is not the big issue, its when you add the petrol to get there, a few beers, supplements and possibly a bite to eat, then it becomes crazy. A race never costs less than R500. Edit: and don't forget toll gates

Yes. About a week or so ago at work. Was filming an add.

+1 its not rocket science

You don't have a medium lying around?

Of course yes, I'm just saying that some hubbers won't be satisfied with two fingers (kit kat) as a consolation prize. Lol. I'm almost sold on entering, but only for the frame thanks!

I don't think its going to be a tight finish then!

What weight is the kitkat? I don't want to get schnaaid!
