  1. I friend of mine has two phones. He claims his BB is far less accurate than the other
  2. Biker mice of Mars! How's that for an all mountain bike?
  3. Thanks. I'll be rolling on a road bike and training on it too
  4. I'll be doing my very first Argus next year, and need some advice on choosing a training program. I've bought the Bicycling mag's special Argus Cycle Tour magazine and found some very specific training programs in there. There are different plans ranging from the sub-3h plan through to the sub-5h plan and lastly the novice plan. What I'd like to know: Firstly, those of you who have seen these plans, how effective are they? Can anyone really achieve the specified times if they stick to the plan? Secondly, how do I know which plan to choose? If it really was that easy as choosing a plan and following it, I would have been able to choose any plan I want (wait, that has a cliche reach-for-a-dream sound to it.) I've been MTBing for a two years now. Recently I did my first road race at the MTN OFM Classic. I did a terrible time (4h20), but did ride the 65km MTB the previous day too and felt it on the road Sunday. I don't think I'm very fit, and I know I will probably have to choose the sub-5h. The only thing going for me is that I can dedicate myself and be very strict with myself. I have come to a place where I enjoy training harder and finally seeing (slight) improvements. So what do you guys suggest? How do I choose a plan?
  5. Woah, with R2500 extra cash flow a month I would have already bought a rental property. Rather buy assets
  6. So who'll be first to order a complete bike from them?
  7. Die foto's is al op action photo. net. Moer duur
  8. There will be a waiting list on the Argus Cycle Tour website from 1 Feb. You pay R50 admin fee to be put on the waiting list, you would you will be notified of an open place when one becomes available.
  9. Misleading title is misleading
  10. I had a spare set of wheels, so just purchased slicks and put them on. Now I can swap between the wheelsets according to my requirements. No fuss, no drama
  11. Putting slicks on an mtb is not as dof as you make it sound. The difference in effort to your ride is huge compared to the costs. Who cares what roadies think about your mtb with slicks anyway? If you can afford a road bike too, buy one. If not, fit slicks for your road events
  12. Are there nice trails? How many kms did you ride?
  13. It's easier to pee in shorts
  14. The marshals did really well. The race felt very well organized. Big ups to the marshals
  15. If you want to ride to get a good time, get slicks and save your knobbies
  16. First time on a road bike. First time doing a road race. And first time doing the OFM. Did the MTB on Saturday in 3:35 and the road today in 4:25 in group HL. My back felt like it was breaking, and my legs felt yesterday's mtb! Now I can only improve next year! Enjoyed it a lot.
  17. Wind was hectic. Nou moet on maar net relax voor mmore
  18. Dis amper sulke tyd!
  19. Have they got a club name or something? Let us know how they're doing. How many kids? How many bikes? etc
  20. Just like to inform you all that you needn't get excited at the lucky draw about winning the Merida MTB, I'll be taking it home
  21. Spring MTB ook in verskillende seedings weg?
  22. What line of work you in?
  23. Nope. MTB is 07h05, road is 07h25
  24. They're sent via SMS, in my case atleast
  25. It will be my first time doing the OFM. I'm also going to do both MTB and road. Not sure if my fitness is what it should be, but my strategy is to take the MTB VERY easy on Saturday and save myself for Sunday. Looking forward to it EDIT: Just got my seeding. Seeing that I'm a first-time, I'll start at 07h25
