  1. Will be there!
  2. Good stuff This kind of thing make cycling races look very bad, especially MTB where we're meant to be enjoying the environment and scenery
  3. This might make me a d**s but here he is: http://photos.jetlineactionphoto.com/the_pennypinchers_die_burger_lions_karoo_to_coast_mountain_bike_race_2013_9118/2d9644de1a5c39cc9530e873c9cb9c36_DSC_5408.JPG Really don't appreciate people throwing their wrappers down. Especially not in that beautiful Knysna forest...
  4. My first K2C. Was awesome. The elite bunch was super fast, especially on those downhills (nvm the uphills haha). First time ever cramping, don't think my training was enough for that distance! Very fun and fast race. Cool vibe too! "Hou bene hou"
  5. Personally I think it is caused by stress, anxiety. And then also Adrenal Fatigue (google it, most of us have it without knowing and really not easy to get rid of) I recommend drinking herbs to help calm your nerves such as Ashwaganda or Valerian(non-pharmaceuticals). Solal also brings out a herbal remedy called Burn-out, it is not cheap but I have been taking it(although I don't have RLS, I do have adrenal fatigue) and i think it works wonders. Edit: I stay away from Pharmaceuticals as much as I possibly can!
  6. Jokes on me...
  7. And results please!!
  8. Was an awesome finish. Was good to see Nibali try so hard! Quitters never win
  9. Will be interested in seeing what people say, usually in summer I don't wear a base layer (cos it gets so damn hot, I just wanna wear as little as possible
  10. Like shorts to wear out to the movies?
  11. Gargle salt water! Sore throat is caused by Streptococcus(bacterium), and it can't live at a high salt concentration.
  12. Hels is out. Route: Allee Bleue, 40km circuit around Wemmershoek and Simondium - R45 Flat and fast...
  13. Trails are awesome. Just ignore the politics and ride! It's worth it
  14. That would be the Helhoogte crit i'd think.
  15. CWC Suplest shoes. Biggest thing IMO(in this price range) is the material it is made out of, a lot of the cheaper shoes soak up really bad and then can take like 2 days to dry (when it is really wet...)
  16. From Facebook: "For all of you that have been waiting: Sunday 15 september: start time 11:00 distance 120KM circuit. Allee Bleau, victor verster, paarl. see you all there. for further queries and entry details mail: alexheward@gmail.com additional info at www.lightsbylinea.co.za" So where is it this weekend...
  17. Haha awesome
  18. XT Ice tech
  19. As an honours student i'm sure she knows what she's doing and has done her research in this field. She will have a supervisor with a Phd or postdoc probably. Good luck!
  20. Very nice race. The profile made those hills look so much worse haha. The A bunch pace was super intense! Punctured on the railway @ 60km Had a very nice time, good opener to the season!
  21. That is so awesome. Would love to know of someone in Cape Town that can do this!
  22. PPA facebook: "There may have been floods, hail & snow but the Tour de Worcester has not been cancelled! Here's to the beginning of the road cycling season"
  23. Super keen
  24. What makes you think they are not testing the competitive guys in the lead!? Please give some backing... Or is it because they arn't being caught?
