were the usual Photomarx guys there? I only saw a guy in a tree witha video camera... (40km) If so where can we find the pictures, could be funny with me not knowing they were there...
Hats off to the organizers as mentioned already! Smiles all round for me today! I dropped to The H batch to ride with mates, the numbers in the batch was perfect! For H there were only two or three spots where we had to stop and wait for under a minute for guys to cross a river. No issues with the H batch on passing, they see/hear you coming and move to the left as quick as the can. I look forward to the next one, well done on raising the bar! The shirt is an awesome item for the goodie bag and spike at the end instead of in the goodie bag was a good move! Best event trail seeker for 2012 by far! Keep up the great work!
Is anyone familiar with the brand I posted earlier (Lake)? As well as the system those shoes use to fasten (Heel Mounted Push/Pull BOA lacing system with powerzone in the forefoot)? If so please can I have your opinion.
Sierra looks awesome. Im guessing the reason for my current shoes breaking (besides for being from MrPrice) might have something to do with the amount of water they have been used in... Im thinking staying away from the velcro strap shoes might be a good idea?
I am not familiar with this fastening system. any good? looks cool. Upper: Full grain leather and mesh with a molded, vented heel counter. Outsole: Lake Race 100% Carbon Fiber Sole with Mountain Race X real rubber sole with Mudstuds. Closure: Heel Mounted Push/Pull BOA lacing system with powerzone in the forefoot.
The ones I have are MrPrice shoes as I wasnt sure if I was going to get back into riding or fade out again so I didnt want to spend more than the R399 then haha... but 6months (just over 1000km) later the metal loop for the top strap has pulled through the "leather" so it is time to buy some decent entry level shoes if those two words dont clash.. Thanks for the link.
Hi All, Please help out, I need to buy new MTB shoes as the ones I have were cheapies and only lasted 6months... I am on a budget so I am looking to spend between R500,00 and R1000,00. Please could you help out with shoes within that price range as well as shops I should try calling. Thanks
1. Van Gaalen - I have not seen enough to give much detail. But from the 20km I have done there its good fun! 2. Thaba Trails - Havnt been to thaba 3. Modderfontein - nice place that only gets better each time I go there. Not technical but you can get +/- 35km in without Doug laps of the same tails. 4. Groenkloof - nice single track with plenty rocky technical bits, I always seem to get +/- 14km out of one loop so you'll have to do a few loops. That being said you won't mind doing a few loops because its fun.
I might be keen to join you guys, what time are you meeting at "the sign", will you guys everyone stick together from start to finish (I am lead to believe there is pizza and beer involved half way)?
