  1. I see alcohol is only prohibited in motorcycling and not cycling .Sjoe !!
  2. Carbs +alcohol = Fat ass . Train hard + protein = Thin ass
  3. Shipman who?
  4. Great event every year .Enter early !
  5. So do they take cash only!
  6. Envy .Keep us posted ! I will sponser R1 for every km ,but i get to choose your gearing ratio,s ?
  7. http://www.dhgate.co...28.html#ctabBox Get them while they are hot ! You can sommer add some hair extentions to your basket
  8. You can do Sani on your sisters bike .And if breaks there are enough spares and other riders on the route to build another bike from scratch
  9. Gerhard .i use me Ss when I want quiet .36x18
  10. Why do you want to complicate a good thing .The enemy of good is better ,Your setup is all that you will ever need and it is affordable .Chain such only happens when it rains all the time ,not from the occasional muddy patch .Even then you will be able to ride most of the event in your big gear
  11. Inbreeding !!!Same thing happens in Mauritius where 50% of the population are diabetic .Tristan de cunha island has almost 100% asthmatics .RSA government has 100% No conscience
  12. This is also the same time that lipitor ,the first cholesterol lowering statin was introduced .This drug alone has saved many lives
  13. If a human was supposed to eat only plant material you would have had a different digestive system and no canine teeth .Very simple really !
  14. XT,s forever
  15. Very correct! The descents aren't as bad as van Gaalen's .The climbs are hard ,but hardest parts are the in between the climbs where the terrain does not make for any rest or rhythm .There is really nowhere you can prepare for it either .Riders that are really good climbers excel and the rest of us suffer and cramp. My strategy will be different this year .I am going to run early on to save myself from cramping in the latter stage .Mtn Rooiberg .Van Gaalen,s and MM are the toughest marathon's in my calendar
  16. I have left some nasty words myself in them hills .You obviously have some dark vocabulary left
  17. Find the longest steepest hills and ride them often ,or walk
  18. Entered again .Fist time I cramped 30min .Second was 45min .Already scared

  23. Saguaro ,Race -king,Crossmark ,vredenstein as rear.X-king, ardent ,nobby nic ,racing ralph front .Any combo will work.Saguaro and Crossmark rear are very long lasting .Front tyres take forever to wear
  24. Hi Darren .Well said ! or is that written ?.We need the Epic more than we need any other event and for that it still needs our support .I still have to do the epic so everyone can stop asking me If I have .JB2C is almost a personal journey shared with other fellow Saffas and some Kiwi,s .When you reach the village at jb2c ,there was Kelly,s 2 young boys with their trucks playing in the gravel and you felt at home .This is after being spoilt at the water tables by the local,s from the area .After doing the 9 days I felt a lot more positive about RSA and our future here .There are just to many good people in RSA that will not let our heritage be destroyed by a incompetent government
  25. Much better in summer .Last time i did this event the route was dry and ugly
