Whatever they say can't overrule the CPA so your answer lies is in the CPA act.

G Group?

Years ago I seem to remember someone created a spreadsheet of the groups and everyone could put their name in their starting group, is it worth doing and are there enough of us even riding to make it worthwhile?

Looks like the mtb ride will be much cooler on sunday at least. Last year the heat was a nightmare that day.

I though the Bastion looked great. Then you posted the Battaglin... thats next level. Didn't know they were still around even.

Ja blue sign is freeway, green isn't. I wouldn't cycle on that stretch of road either way personally.

The way events are timed is a complete and utter disaster.

What frame is it for?

Thats a great looking bike with specs to match!

Is Stevie Wonder doing the seeding again?

The new portal is a complete dog show. Always trying to be fancy and stuff things up. Simpler is better.

Welcome! You've come to the right place, I'm sure you will get all the help you need here, I would stay away from marketplace personally. I'm sure you will find what you're looking for here in the classifieds. In terms of budget used is your only real option, you first want to make sure you know what size to look for based on your inseam and height, I think small but you don't want to make a mistake here. 29inch MTBs are arguably the best and most common now but you will get better bang for your buck with a 26" @RobertWhitehead is very helpful and builds a lot of bikes. He may have something that can work for you on hand, Good luck! Once you find a bike make sure you get a proper bike fit also.

Congrats - been here for 19 of those years. Time flies!

It's quite sad how this once virtually untouched reserve has become so commercialised. Hardly see any animals anymore other than a lunatic bird. The trails themselves are actually well maintained and good fun though.

Geez but these guys are absoutely pathetic. I'm looking for a Neo2 T disc extractor so I can clean up my trainer. I see they have two options on their local site so I query online. Suprisingly I get an email response quite quick saying 'we have any tool extractors in stock'. Great so I ask how I can order one foe the 2T only to be told they meant they DON'T have any tool extractors in stock and I should check with Cycle Lab who are one of their biggest outlets. I check with Cycle Lab who initially don't know what the product is, and then they tell me they'll check if Garmin SA have stock... Kill me now. How Garmin has such bad local representation absolutely blows. My. Mind.

I also found this is 100% the difference, by upping my cadence just 10 rpm higher on my road bike its helped my MTB and road bike fitness.

Ok fair enough, I would look at the difference in pricing with the 34/50 vs 36/52 and decide from there. 34/50 should be fine for those hills, even with a 29 cassette.

It's a fantastic trainer but its not the top of the range Tacx anymore.

How much hill training do you do? Personally I wouldn't worry about crank arm length.

If you can afford a direct trainer then thats the way to go. Takes indor training from being a slog to a pleasure and you'll get real results.

I'm sure you'll be fine, there can be bottlenecks but thats par for the course.

The geometry of an MTB is meant to be upright, the gearing, riding style and the aerodynamics are completely different. MTB is far less efficient. Two different sports as far as I'm concerned.

Thats for sure, I had a 916 GTV 3.0, got a 916 Spider 3.0 at the moment.
