  1. Can this be serviced?. Any contacts of where in Pta aria?
  2. Hi, I did the race on the 21 st. Unfortunately somebody's bike baggie ended up between our stuff. There is a bike computer and some money in it... Front bag, well worn. Somebody from PE was sitting with us, it may be his. Plse PM me if anybody can point me to the owner
  3. Went for a recce just now, bring your granny gear, a 3,7 km klimb in the beginning that will get the bloud flowing!
  4. Got a DNF in spite of finishing in 2h24 ish. I saw the guy making a note on his paper when i passed the finish. Not sure if the lad behind the computer was not giving attention. Not a big deal but somewhat disappointing, Still one of my favorite races though. Will probabably be better with more sponsors. Looking forward to next year.

    How many races must you do before you get a seeding? I just done the Jacaranda Bestmed in 3h30, does that count at all? Where can you actually see your seeding index? I start in LL batch, was hoping for something slightly better with the 3h30
  7. Maybe not of much help to you but I pay the extra R600 and use DHL. I ordered last Tuesday and had the package delivered to me on Friday Morning, after of course paying the Tax to have it cleared by customs.
  8. Can the next race please start at 6, this one was HOT
  9. Hi, I'm in the city of roses this weekend, any good MTB or road rides out there? Club rides on Saterday, Sunday? I'm still figuring out whether to take the MTB or the roadie. All hints will be welcomed
  10. I've been outspoken about the issue as well, but the way BW brought in MC yesterday with an obvious risk to his own first place shut me up. They all had a job to do and the SKY team have done it superbly well. That being said, Chris is probably too talented to stay - what about a BIG SPONSOR from the lotto, co-sponsor the belgium lotto team. We can call it lotto-e-lotto. Most of the SA girls are there already.
  11. My Race Report: 1. Pre-race Organization 10/10 - Friendly faces greeting you from the turn-off at every corner. 2. Number collection 10/10 - A snap 3. Amenities 10/10 - Organized parking,ample entertainment, bike wash, bike goodies to buy, Breakfast roll !!!. 4. Course 7/10 - First 10 km (8/10) good variety, Second 10 (7/10)-Sand, then some sand and then realy sand. A lot of prep in this section to remove some sand but by the back track riders and 90k second pass it was raked to pieces.Nice rock garden in between! 3rd 10: (5/10) Would really like to do this one on a Sunday afternoon slow ride. For a race - too much of the same, a few fast flowing sections inbetween would have made a big difference. Last 15 (9/10) - fast flowing - few short turning surprizes inbetween. Makes for real racing. In general lots of pasing opportunity, except for the sand section (unless you can run well in the sand :-)) All in all - I will do this one again - this time I'm going in with 1.3 to 1.7 bar on the wheels. Some suggestions - 1. Incorporate a 20 and a 10 on the race day, that way everybody can participate on race day 2. Some more variety in section 2 and 3 (maybe cut in sections under the power grid) 3. Organize a good winter thunderstorm day before racing. In conclusion - when a golf course has no bunkers, better believe there are serious trees, a MTB race without any ascent - expect a surprize! Thanks to ASG and Sondela - well done! PS: 61st in 45km - 2h23:50 - damn I hate it when there is no Master Category :-)
  12. Well it's not, I have the GPS track with time at 2h13:12 - i did start it late by about 30 s while my listed time is 2h33:28
  13. Who do you contact if there is a n error, I started in H and was timed E?
