From the beginning and you can use rock'nroll lube... Q20 is abrasive if I am not mistaken...

Being a new tubby rider, will you recommend using that double sided tape (tubby specific tape)?

What about Parys? Lots of dirt roads, lots of corrugated roads to get your a$$ saddle fit A couple of nice places where you can stay next to the river. And it is only an hour away from Jhb.

Navarra, I hope you put money on that prediction !!! Well done

Narra, wat rook jy ?

Hi Ocram, the poll for the final is up and running !!!

Bulls 43-10

Post your predicted score to support your vote.Gillie2009-10-30 00:19:51

IF and only if the Cheeters win, I think it will be with a very small margin 2 or 3 points. When the Bulls machine starts rumbling along, the Cheetahs will have problems keeping the difference to below 20 points... Well, my Superbru pick is for the Bulls to win by 33. How's that for a prediction?

Seeing that almost nobody gave the Cheeters a chance, doyou guys think they have used all their luck in beating the Sharks? Post a few prediction scores ...

Don't try something new on race-day, you have to "train" eating and drinking regime as well. If you want to try something new for the longer rides, you should have done it before race-day

Jy moet maar net vroeg gaan ry dan ! Waar doen jy jou swemoefening ?

Hi Scanman Het ook hierdie jaar my eerste gedoen en ek het baie gekyk na www.beginnertriathlete.com. Hulle het ook gratis oefenprogram vir die IM wat baie goed is, ek dink dit is 'n 20 week program. Ek neem aan jy is reeds 'n aktiewe drawwer/fietsryer/swemmer, want dit help as jy reeds bietjie fiksheid opgebou het voor jy met die program begin. As jy sukkel om die program te kry, PM my met jou email adres en ek sal hom vir jou stuur. Kyk dan daarna en dan moet jy self besluit of dit vir jou gaan werk of nie. Waar in die Noord-Kaap is jy ? Seker lekker om daar fiets te ry... min verkeer op daai lang oop paaie... Ek wil amper se die moeilikste van IM is die 5 of so maande voor die tyd. Dit vat baie commitment, maar die reward op die ou einde is die moeite werd... al is jy hoe seer of styf tydens en na die event. Sterkte !!! Sal jou sien in PE !!!

The 96 3000d is my first MTB... ever. Difficult to give a objective opinion of course, but thus far I can't fault it either.

I can't believe I fell for that one... Gillie2009-10-16 03:31:56

First poll I posted, sorry about your wasted vote. Also think Sharks vs Bulls in finals.

And who will play in the final ?Gillie2009-10-16 02:59:59

Ja perhaps we get rain on the 101 and nothing on the 56 who knows... just lube the chain and give it carrrrotsGillie2009-10-09 02:44:26

Seems like it could be a wet 56km for the guys doing that one...

Bliksemse lelike wetters ! Hate snakes !

What time you aiming for ?

So, seeing that the CC is 2 days away... do you guys want to start in a "Hubber" group on Saturday? We can organize a time and start together, then we will take it from there, we will probably split again depending on how fast you want to go? Personally, I am not going to give it too much carrots seeing that is my first CC. Just want to check it out and enjoy the scenery so to speak... And save some juice for the last 10km... I hear that last bit tests your sense of humor. BTW, I'm only doing the 101kmGillie2009-10-08 01:02:45

bump ?

Hi guys and girls Just wanted to hear your thoughts on tapering before a race... I know it is common practice to peak in training about 2 weeks before running a race, but do you think the same is applicable for lets say a 100km+ MTB race? Thanks
