HI there, My friend and I are competing in the relay version of the Old Mutual JOberg2C. We are doing leg 1 - the first 3 days of the ride. Has anyone done this leg that can let us know what the terrain is like? Then, RE training, we have been training long rides on the road (essentially our Argus training of 2 or 3 spin classes in the week and a long ride of 60 - 80ks on weekends) with some running/swimming cross training on alternated days. Does anyone have any stage-race advice ITO emergency training for these 3 days and then tips on the actual race. Thanks!

haha, thanks BLACKvoodoo i can see how that could happen. I will take these 2 posts and leave it at that! thanks! L2climb - Thanks for the tips! ill check those out!

Hi there, I currently have an entry level schwinn (very basic, doesnt have disc brakes even) and I am looking to upgrade slightly but dont have a lot of cash to put in. The guys at my local cycle shop suggested I trade in my Schwinn for R1500 and pay in the extra R2900 for a new Silverback Stride 10. Does anyone know anything about these bikes? Any advice? Thanks!

Hi! I am relatively new to the City Bowl area and Im desperately looking for some advice on routes on Table Mountain - where to start? what the tracks are like (difficulty/single track vs jeep etc). Ive heard deer park to block house is great but have no idea how to get to the parking lot to start etc. Any tips would be awesome! Thanks!
