  1. It should be fine as it does have that 'girls' frame look
  2. And I know this from personal experience
  3. No that's from too much food
  4. 2 pink slips in one month ....... lets see what I can do
  5. OK then a Specialized rider will win
  6. "It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom." - Mahatma Gandhi I will watch it unfold over the next 3 weeks, surely guys the tour cannot be won or lost in the first 2 days ..... unless you are Berhard Eisel I guess
  7. Pink slip signed! Now just to find my passport so I can get across the Juskei to Mid-rond .......
  8. Yeah but I would have to place you in the same category (nutters) as that of Boris
  9. I am in that exact position, live in Alberton and work in Centurion But - I work from home 2 days a week at the moment and as it is going very well may request 3 days a week soon
  10. The lightest I'm sure but pretty useless on an MTB unless you're the Dangle
  11. An interesting read here about why your heart rate will be much higher at races ..... http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/general/racing-with-a-heart-rate-monitor/188.html "Racing is clearly different from ordinary fast running, and it's largely because in a race, your heart rate is affected by more than just the amount of work your body is doing. One of the major influences is thought to be arousal and the associated adrenaline surge that accompanies a competitive situation, though this has yet to be scientifically established. If you did use your HRM in a race and paced yourself according to your training rates, you'd probably be holding yourself back rather than gaining an edge. For a start, the anticipation and adrenaline we've mentioned will give you artificially high heart rate readings, which won't reflect your pace. In addition, you'll often find that in a race situation you can maintain a higher heart rate than you're used to anyway."
  12. Not the groomed trails like Rietvlei, more 'natural' - also way more area.
  13. At 'Thaba ya Batswana' not far from Rietvlei (Alberton that is ) - the new trails will open the 3rd of September!
  14. Dude the man is just getting up to speed with Fb and the 'ub - it may take a bit of time before he can move up to being a Tweep
  15. Very nice ride and saw these guys just hanging around. Best thing? A mere 10 minutes from home
  16. How's the one at Melrose arch doing?
  17. It gets better - seeing a 'new' MTB trail at 12
  18. Please tell me that's on a bike or running and not a canoe or speedo
  19. OK so nowhere near that cool but as I work from home Tuesdays and Thursdays I will go out for a ride on the course used for the recent national XC round at Rietvlei at lunchtime when it's a 'bit' warmer - OK take a breath
  20. 2nd on a 29r Epic so hardtails are still better
  21. Apparently 'bigger' wheels will also instantly improve it's speed - #justsaying
