Mr SingleTrack

Thx nickc, I'll give Lionel a call

Ok so I am still hoping that someone will reply with good news to my question in the “Cannondale club is here” thread but so far I’ve not had any luck… Here goes again: I would like to test ride a Cannondale Scalpel 29er. Anyone know of a place with Cannondale test bikes in JHB or PTA? I just want to feel if I like the geometry of the bike... Come now guys, share some of your contacts PS - I've posted this in the Buyers Guide section since I am keen on buying a Cannondale, dependant on if the geometry suits me

Red is for dry conditions, blue is for wet and dry conditions. I stick to the blue one on my MTB regardless of the conditions

I am sure you'll get enough for a kidney... please just use your own kidney...

I will be there for the 114km

Ok so I decided to ask again seeing that there should be more hubbers online than over the weekend. I would like to test ride a Cannondale Scalpel 29er. Anyone know of a place with Cannondale test bikes in JHB or PTA? I just want to feel if I like the geometry of the bike...

I'll stick to DS, but maybe I am a softy

I don't think your road shoes will last long if you do propper MTB races. Some races include sections where everyone including the pros have to get off and carry their bikes...

Yes JHB unfortunately

Ok so where can I go to test ride a cannondal MTB?

ouch!

pic?

I might have been swearing like a sailor at that stage

someone had too

dude jou herbal chamois cream gaan nie meer die stink keer nie...

you still in your bib? Sies man! Ps - ottie rym met tottie, soveel meer tref krag as onnie... :-P

I think it is time for a fresh ottie mate...

never mind my number board, my bike is still on my bike rack...

haha, that was a good ride hey Karma and I will be back next year as well! is it too early to say "I can't wait"?

It is a pity we only met on the last day right before the finish. Man you missed out, day one we gooi-ed gangnam style on the car radio on full blast on day one just before we headed to the starting line! What a way to energize for those hills…

thx Vinnydabutcher, was great to meet you too. Will give you a shout for some STF when I run out

Yup, it was nice to meet all the hubbers at the event. Big ups for Karma, waiting for my slow @ss on day one after a stint of serious dehydration! Day 2 was also tough for me due to all the cramping on day one. Luckily I had a great massage after day 2 and I had a much better day 3. My highlight of the race? When I overheard one guy telling his partner to let me and Karma go first into the downhill single track, because "they descent like crazy people".

Beer 1 in progress. Erm, beer one done...
