  1. Morning Everyone, I have a Lux Titanio CT1 57cm in good condition that I’m interested in selling. If anyone is keen to know more, let me know and I’ll provide more info. Thanks
  2. A quick heads up that we are establishing a MTB/Running trail network on the Meander which will be open on 1st June. Routes will be 5, 10, 20 and 30kms with a mix of forest track and singletrack, and zero tar. About 50% of the singletracks are old trails that we are re-opening, and the rest is brand new. Don't scoff at the short distances - all but the 5km route include some moderate climbing, so you will earn your brekka and craft beers afterwards. Access will be from PigglyWiggly and Nelson Mandela Capture Site. Ride-as-much-as-you-want Day Trail fee of R50 will be payable by Zapper at the start. I will post on this Forum Topic as we progress. Hope to to see you soon!
  3. This is such a massive loss to our sport. Greg was a brutal competitor in a race, but an absolute Gent on a training or coffee ride as he'd call it. Always ready to compliment you on any strength improvements or to impart advice from his vast knowledge and passion for cycling. Gutted! I know of Tribute rides in Jhb and Karkloof (my home turf), but I will be in Stellenbosch this weekend. Does anyone know of anything being arranged that I can join?
  4. Hi BigJohn, I will be passing through Prince Albert on our way to CT from KZN Midlands the week before your incredible looking race - so sadly going to miss it. Would it be possible to do this route on my own, or does it go through private property?
  5. Thanks Guys. I think the 10hrs (together with having recently entered my 50s) pretty much settles it.. I have both options, but will probably opt for the Scalpel. Its also got a nice big triple chain set - ideal for long distance hauling - unlike the HT which is 1x11. See you out there, and enjoy the training!
  6. At last I have an entry to do this Ride.. A question to the guys that have done it before: what is the majority of the road surface like - smooth or rocky? Would you recommend full suss or hard tail? Cheers

    MTB Rivonia

    I've just moved to Benmore, and very keen to hook up with any midweek gp MTB rides in the area. Morning or afternoon. My offices are in Rivonia - so that could also work. Look forward to hearing what's happening out there. As a bonus, I live down in KZN Midlands, so happy to reciprocate and show off the mind blowing Karkloof trails.
  10. So after riding this amazing little bike with a double crankset for the last 3-4 years, I made the leap to SS. Holy Moly.. What an experience. Loved it!! I have a newfound respect for SSers and am really looking forward to getting to grips with a new dimension of MTB.
  11. That would be great, Peach. Would 4.00pm Thurs 4th Dec work for you? I haven't been to Rietvlei or Thaba, but keen to ride either.
  12. Hi Peach, do you do any mid-week (early morning or arvie) sessions? I'm only in jhb during the week - I live in KZN Midlands, near Karkloof, and very keen on sharpening my tech skills for the local trails.
