Just dump mine in the wash as normal. They seem fine. Too much admin to wash by hand

Well done for hanging in bru. Don't think there were many guys riding down those switchbacks without cramp and pain. I cramped in both legs on the sinlge track section after those switchbacks, couldn't move at all. Hurts like hell but part of a race like that. Def no kiddies picnic. Can wear your blue shirt now

Hey boys, how hard was that thing. New track coming down into PMB was lekker, just made it longer though. There were boys taking punishment all over the course near the end, and the dreaded cramp monster was biting everyone, me included. Good day out but proper hard. Be interesting to see how many ous didn't make it.

Paul, ditch the jacket bru, arm warmers maybe, last year was quite nippy at the start but this time looks warm enough to go without. Might need the arm warmers to stop sunburn though. I'm not taking mine.

Thick cut still warm fresh white bread, with peanut butter and syrup running out the sides of the sarmie. Shweet.

Tuna, why do you want your resting HR to drop below 40? Got to get O2 round your body somehow.

I been running a bit over the past 3 months, as mtb crosstraining. My riding partner is a SA triathlete and I see how much his running does for riding. I havent the same genetics but have been trying to run 2 to 3 times a week 6 to 8 south african kilometers a time. Run in my 4 yr old running shoes. Now developed calf and achilies pain bilaterally, and my shins hurt when I ride, which is a first for me. Maybe the five fingers are worth a shot????

That's ridiculous. That thing going to bite you properly. Thank goodness we can still surf and swim here in Durbs. That's about 20 m off the beach

What happened to the violet beam?

Good storm in the middle of the night here in the capital of the world. Summers a coming!

Now that's what I mean by taking it too seriously. Got to make 6 net pars in a row on a practice course before you can play. That's like riding a sub 3:15 Argus before you can ride on the road.

Don't waste your time on the baby course. It like going to skischule. Get on the big course, more room to spray it. Golf is a fantastic game to play, just can't take it too seriously.

Giba Gorge. mtb. Hard 40 to 50 km. last hard session before Hill 2 Hill, next week ease up and rest.

Looks cool. Going up the pass in the photo might take the weekend though

Giro are really comfy. I have a Giro Atmos. cracker

Buy the bike. Today. Bought my bike with a refund, best thing ever, feels like I'm sponsored .

Nalini base wear bibs. Cracker

If this whole 10 page dibs saga was a business, it would prosper big time. The business got paid solid cash up front before delivery, had customers fighting over his product, and got 10 pages of free advertising to boot. Easy as pie. Now customer base waits anxiously for their next offering.

Win

It's all worth it, for sure. Wait till the few weeks before race day next year, see how much work you get done then. Don't underestimate the training, it's a proper ride but a fat jol.

What's ballsack dibs?

eye boh. Cant ride that thing for 8.5 hrs bru. Going to lose a bit of gas on your fun dial after that.

Looks cool. If still using the original bike for 94.7, then you need a couple of tennis balls under the saddle

Why Holding Thumbs For U ? for mtbers? They need luck?

Good grief. Think the commentators on the vid might need a little lie down after that. How's that tail flick thingy over the jump
