  1. Its going to be a while until I'm that size again, but I have a cupboard full of those size just waiting for me.
  2. awesome idea thanks!
  3. Cool, anatomic shirt ordered. Only had the beer shirt in 5xl, but i guess its "fitting". <- see what I did there! Thanks for the advice! Hope to see some of you on the trails soon!
  4. I carry most of my spares in my back pocket but maybe (seeing that it will be a while before I can ride long enough to use 2 bottles) I should go that route and get a tool bottle for the spares.
  5. I stopped cycling give or take 2/3years ago and since then I have put on quite a lot of weight. I was a big guy even when I was cycling fit. Did w2w weighing just shy of 130kg. I want to get back into the swing of things, watching the epic just awakens something in loins. Where can I find cycling clothes for the bigger guy with the afrikaner boep, until its under control again?
  6. I'll try and do this next year. Doing K2C this year.
  7. Do you guys have accurate profiles for the longer distances?

  9. I had the feeling the turnout for the 50 was bad. 2 years ago there were 4 shuttle buses if i remember correctly, this year there were only 3 and only half the people pitched up for the shuttles. they made one full half the bikes on the other and the third never even left Malmesbury. For my race, never again at this weight class. This was the worst ride of my life, was okay until the 2nd water point and then there was nothing left in the tank. Go check out the pics on FB, i'm the fat guy pushing his bike...
  10. So the training never happened. Gonna still give it a go and see if i can carry my 140kilo ass over the 80 odd km.
  11. i was all keen until i saw 900m climbing over 30kms...
  12. Entered the 50 miler and have cycled for longer than 90 minutes at a time this year...need to get my ass in gear and start training, 2 months left!
  13. Hydration? This is what happens to me when i race...i actually stopped doing longish races because it happens every time.
  14. I was also wondering about the weight limit on the AMP but never mind my fatass will break these.

  16. I am also interested but dont know enough...i saw that PNP is going to start accepting bitcoin as payment options at tills:
  17. So i picked up a Titan Whopper Expert for a bargain. (6k, hardly used) Ou toppie is moerse happy and my mom messaged me this morning saying since i dropped it off on friday he has been out everyday on the bike!!
  18. that add is from last year.
  19. Thanks, i really want to see the bike before i buy. So looking at western cape areas. Theres a very nice whopper in Hermanus but the guy does not want o budge on price.
  20. I am trying to find a cheapish (well 5k) secondhand fat bike for my dad and for some reason there are non. A while back gumtree etc. was littered with the stuff but now i cannot find any. Well i can, but they are moerse expensive. Has the craze gone and now they are gathering dust in someone garage. Spoke to my local Titan dealer and he told me that the 2017 range didn't even include whoppers? Anyone with a lead for a large frame?
  21. My only gripe with this event, its on the same weekend as the K2C.
  22. flook had those zumax helmets for R700 last month - grabbed me one
  23. They have them again today.
  24. Takealot have the camelbak classic 2l going for R499.
