I assume theres no way around registering an account with desura before being able to play the game

I think a team for scouting enduro trails in Gauteng needs to be put together! Who is keen?

I will pm you the stoorie when I'm not driving but I will say this... I would have preferred that than what did happen

I am still keen but waiting on something that is out of my hands. Edit: will pm you later

Aslo keen, I'm good at keeping beers cold...good...

It looks like my dreams of this trip are fading. One of two possible outcome of one incident of misfortune... If it turns out to be outcome number one then I am out for sure, if it's outcome number two there's still a good chance! Will explain in a few days time when I know what direction things are heading...

good point on the calories I would say out of 8 cups of coffee 7 of them are instant coffee which I just cant drink without milk, the other cup will be nespresso which that is cool without milk. If I had to have Nespresso every cup I would be working just to pay for my coffee

I love the Van Gaalens idea for a venue! The only issue I see is the distance between enduro trails. I think it is fair to say that it is not just me that doesnt like the sound of riding 20km of xc and climbing to get 3-5km of enduro trail. Not that I wont do it to get to a nice enduro trail I just dont like the idea I quite like the set up at Giba where the trail centre is in a valley! Where to find a valley with good hills in Guateng thats not a mine dump

Already dont drink my coffee with sugar and I use minimal fat free milk. The milk is something I can not go without!

If its anything like the DH track with regards to trail quality and uplift cost then I wont be so keen!

I do agree with the eating routine as I now dont have time to cook like i was so steamed veggies for lunch and dinner has turned into a sandwhich and cooked food from the shops or Nando's. I do avoid the other fast food places like the pleague! Water, I drink minimum of 2l a day. The problem come in with coffee! While drawing I tend to have 3-5 cups an hour

I am not training for IM altho it is on the list of goals, I have not set foot in the gym for weeks now! I dont even have a family either if I did I would probably die! I am trying to balance a day job which should start at 8am and end at 4:30pm but due to work load starts at 7am and ends at 7pm. I also have my own part time "Draughting service" which keeps me busy from when I get home until 2 maybe 3am (for the last few weeks). I also work saturdays and try keen Sundays open for "me" time which I need to share between my girlfriend, my bike and mates. I have put on 5kgs due to this routine! I am a firm believer in "making" time for training which is usually during a lunch break (which doesnt happen anymore) and before work in the mornings but as I am already living on 3 maybe 4 hours sleep a night there is no way training in the morning is going to happen either Something has to give before my jeans do!

Hopefully we can all meet for a beer or three

Is that a 29er

How much does the tyre sell for?

Only if you invite me It was at a backpackers called "sleepy hollow backpackers". They have not returned my call like they said they would Since you live close, can you suggest where I could try for cheap accommodation close to cascades?

Exactly! you can ride an XC bike as long as you wear your big girl pants with intergrated big brass balls

What?

Theres a difference between sharing a room and sharing a bed

Yes please!

Finally some positive feed back, After emailing 6 or 7 places in PMB and having the feeling I was going no where I tried a place suggested by sidewinder. Shawswood Lodge in Howick. They have sent me a quote for an 8 sleeper room (dorm) at R125,00pppn. Pro - it is right by Karkloof for a Friday ride if we all take Friday off. Con - it is +/- 45Km from Cascades

Seemed to have gone well from where I was standing.

I have sourced three more options, awaiting prices.

I was told today that they might be moving to other premises which might happen over the weekend we want to stay there. The lady is going to let me know on Monday if she will be able to accommodate us. I am working on a plan B but this would mean sleeping in a tent Any other suggestions where I can look at for cheap accommodation?

Looking for a new set of bars for my baby, must be red in colourand not break the bank! suggestions? Edit: Never mind, all sorted
