  1. Hi everyone, I'm heading to Skukuza in the Kruger National Park for a few days and was hoping to get some runs in. Is this possible? Does anybody have any routes to share?
  2. Good morning - I'm also 97kgs and a MTB'er. Also with exercised induced asthma. Been having it since I was 4. Should not be an issue I ride with a inhaler - various brands: ventolin, asthavent, venteze - latter 2 is about R25 each and can be bought over the counter. I use it before I go on a ride as prevention and then its in my backpack for an emergency. I do find that my asthma is less of an issue the fitter I get. At the age of 41 i discovered a chronic pill called Singulair. You buy then on prescription in packs of 28. You take 1 pill in the evening and it virtually eliminates any asthma related symptons for 24hrs - I experienced the effects in 2 days! I know people who use it very successfully for sinus as well. The generic versions of Sigulair is Tropaz (Dr Reddys) and then there is another one. They are about R280 for a 28 pill dosage. It drasitically changed my approach to managing asthma and it feels wonderfull.
  3. I have a aluminium scott frame with a dent on one of the rear chain stays. I can still ride with the bike, but the dent causes the stay to fan outward and thus making it very difficult to insert and remove the back wheel. Any advice on where I can take the frame to have either the dent removed of just the chain stay bent back into position - I probably need about 10mm. I live in Pretoria
  4. I'm in need of opinions please: with the abundance of cycling apps and the bluetooth HRM straps available these days, I'm in two minds - should you still buy something like a Garmin EDGE 500 / 800 or do you go the route of a rugged outdoor phone with a cycling app and a HRM strap? If the latter - which phone would you recommend as a waterproof, rugged outdoor phone for mountainbiking purposes.
  5. Does anyone know whether statistics about the bikes that was ridden during the 2012 Cape Epic is available?
  6. is this about switching sani2c trail foro sani2c adventure - my email is fm.smith@telkomsa.net
  7. me and my team mate would like to swop - our friends are riding the adventure. is the offer stil available?
