I would offer to be it with my 160mm travel bright green bike but I will be the last one in!

I was feeling left out

Did I hear you say lets build a road gap at Jan smuts?

You guys need to learn me how to jump real good now that the moto is "finished"

How much you willing to give me? Who wants it?

Your so forward

is that the pump track

It has some cool pouches inside!

Found a solution to not having a pack...

I have a little cheap pack I got years ago which has hardly any space and the bladder got thrown out so I really just use it to carry a puncture kit, tiny pump and multitool...

to go with my...

Darn I didn't think about a pack...

Only bottle cages and saddle bags allowed

Bottle cages hold quart bottles snug

I landed a D batch, you might have to keep some beers for me

Got my request for leave in July/August approved today and deposit should be ready to be paid at month end! While in the spirit of things I ordered a Fox Rampage with free knee guards from Buycycle today On the whole trying to pack light side of things is there laundry facilities near by or at the accommodation and is it costly?

I know where your coming from! I have just got myself out of a little mess and this trip is going to set me back a touch but on the other hand I am not married, I don't have kids or anyone depending on me so if I dig a little hole it doesn't effect anyone but me so screw it! In for a penny in for a pound! I have a few more years before I need to start thinking about sealing the deal with the girlfriend so there is no better time then the present for me!

Faced with a lid choice which I may need some guidance to help me decide! 661 Evolution vs Fox Rampage?

Exactly! I have to sacrifice a "bucket load" (like eating for the next 10 months...) to make this trip happen for me next year! Why not wait for 2015 someone may ask. Its because this time next year I will wake up and realize I haven't started saving yet so I need to just get this done! Bottom line is to just bite the bullet and make it happen!

The bank and saving plan looks promising Pencil me in and I will try get the cash together

Im sure you werent

P.M. sent Just kidding I have just recieved the "pass go and collect a MTB trip to france" card via whatsapp Now lets see if I can gather the deposit together by month end

Dont be silly, that would absorb far to much of my cycling budget!

No trust me when I say "massive" its a good one, it's has a two to three year shelf life
