  1. Going into this race we knew there were going to be bottlenecks so we just chilled and enjoyed the "coffee" ride. We did the 52km and started in L group, and rode with some really great people. Chilled and out there enjoying the day on their bikes. Hecking those that were too cool to wait their turn in the queues, using the queues as " meet your fellow rider" opportunities Loved the route which I think for those that ride "technical" regularly was completed rideable for the most part, but I do also think that for a race of this size, the majority of weekend warriors wouldn't be able to do a lot of it, and the slippery ramps ect just got worse the further down the field you were. A lot of people got really hurt, some better ideas need to be come up for the areas that gave the medics the most work for the day. The water ect was also an issue, but everyone's already mentioned that.... A friend did the 22 km and things got little more chaotic, along with the daft people yelling, screaming and swearing when people fall ect.... really, get real, you doing a 22 km ride..... Worse part of the day was having some individual so some early Xmas shopping with our friends and our cars (no we did not park on a quiet side street hidden from view) Otherwise Thanks to those that made it a "lekker" day out in JHB and hope those that got hurt have a speedy recovery
  2. Cool, hopefully see you there Mons I'm looking forward to it tonight!!
  3. Was my first time doing the challenge this year and I gotta say it ROCKED :clap: Yes tough, but only because of my "unfit" fitness level. Liked the fact that the route was NOT manicured at every turn.... Well done to all everyone was a great time riding out there!
  4. Nothing!! I have an all black bike and it's damn sexy!! I used to ride a ladies specific bike and later changed to a mens bike and love it. The ladies bike was a lot heavier. I did have to modify it slight by change the stem to a shorter one. I find it a lot easier to handle and easier to ride. Saddles have never bugged me so it's really up to personal choice. I had dual sus on both, hard tails tend to be hard on my back so I chose comfort over being a bit harder to ride. I also find that you tend to get better specs for price when getting a mens bike over a ladies. Find what's comfortable to you and enjoy!!
  5. Sorry we missed you - also did the 30km. Enjoyed it for the most part, good to be back on the bike!
  6. Oh my word!! RIP Burry, My thoughts and prayers go to Cherise and the family. So tragic.
  7. We did the last Sabie lite for our first stage race and it was awesome The 2 days was enough to get tired but not broken
  8. http://www.actionphoto.net/ Seems fine my side
  9. Cool pics Christie, Where can we get the videos that were shot?
  10. Had an awesome ride!! Loved every minute of it - yes even the hiking I had to do up some of those hills!! Well done to the organisers I have to agree with the service. On the most part it was not good, will also do self catering next time. Well done to everyone - especially the single speed guys Does anyone know when the photos will be up and where we could get a copy of the Big foot video footage??
  11. Congrats to you both!! Love the pics and way he proposed So cool!
