I'm sure your Lefty is as frustrated! O.P: Lefty placed second!? And he took some aggressive lines on those rock gardens!

Pity you're in JHB WYatt Earp sounds like you're trying to hijack

Haha he's a moron.

Meeze any idea where one can get the shims for under the cleat? I had the inserts from Specialized for inside the shoe, but recently removed them as they weren't comfortable and seemed to add a slink "kink" to my pedal.

Doing it for my first time Super keen.

Road league, yes please!!

I bought Ocean Eyewear polarized sunnies for R500 from my LBS. Sexy and works very well I struggle to spend too much on glasses as i've lost 1 set before and broken another.

Riding in the middle of the road going down Helz' mmaybe. It was quiet though

When I read the topic I was scared for a second it was me (on my bicycle) doing naughty things.

Haha I find that profile very deceiving. When I saw those 2 massive spikes I got a big fright but the ascent(Y-axis) scale is strange

Yep option for more than one please. I love road and the mountains!

My dad has both and the platform is def much nicer. When transporting multiple bikes especially as some bikes (like an XS 29", or any fullsuss really) struggle to sit nicely together when you try hang them.

Cool...

Hahah, lovely. "This is what it feels like to be the stem."

Nope. Not knowing is probably half the problem.

My Merida came with that Saddle as well, I think, and it was very uncomfortable for me too. It gave me bad saddle sores, swapped to Fizik Tundra - the bomb! You might just not be used to it though, may take a few rides to get into it. Also, your bib/chamois will make a difference too!

Super keen

Well if 1300m felt like 800m to you on your SS I guess that's a good sign

Lol. Strava says 1340m aswell. Could never believe that was 800m ascent.

Yep I won't ride my MTB before it gets a full service again. My BB is porbably full of water

My dad and I both have Garmin 800s and we both recorded 1300m of ascent.

I love Maynards Fruity Chews. I have to limit when I buy it, because if I buy it it won't last more than a day or two. When i'm training hard I get serious sugar cravings, but seeing as I don't struggle with weight I don't mind eating them. Although I know they are not good for one at all, I think I compensate for it in other ways which I won't mention because I will get attacked

800m ascent no way. I got 1300m ascent at 68km. I think only 18 finished the 70km, not sure how many entered. It was stupidly wet, I never thought id be able to ride through such deep water!!(Came upto my bottle cages...) I don't know where the 11% single track was, maybe all the times they asked us to ride through a field with no path at all haha. Was a rough race and my body was not feeling great, was not easy!

Geco cycles Durbanville can get stock and so can Flandria in Stellenbosch. Don't know if they keep stock so maybe call them up

So the PPA has changed the 600m ascent to 1600m. Scary http://www.pedalpower.org.za/event/swartland-mtb-funride-3/
