  1. I am debating 1x10 with 34 blade too. will make the call this weekend.
  2. Thanks guys, now 1x10 or 2x10?? 1x10 =34 11-40 2x10 = 26/39 11-36 Does anyone know the course? Any fast pedalling section over 35-40 kmh for long stretches?
  3. Hey guys. Does anyone know if a route profile is available for as champs next weekend? Thanks
  4. funny, as thats not a shimano XTR9000 front ring Mike
  5. Hey all, seated all the usual sires for the xco series, cycleevents, csa, etc and may / june seems very quiet for xco. Whats on that i am missing?
  6. My entry is for sale!!!!
  7. Was a great vent and I had a total blast. really enjoyed the course, good mix between fast, technical, decent climbing and some hotting fun through the school. One crit though, the marshals need to be firmer/ more assertive with the public. I witnessed one incident, on the bridge ofter the long descent, where a rider approached, a dog was on the bridge and when the dog saw the rider,tried to turn around to get out the way, but the rider chose to just ride over the dog, rather than wait 5 sec for him/her to get off the bridge. Cos you know in a 6 hour race, those 5 sec are the winning 5. I know who he is and I could possibly of cost him his win, but I'll let his conscience do that - What a total arsehole. I think the marshals need to make sure the public wait at bridges etc when riders are approaching to maintain a safe environment for all in the park.
  8. Great to hear, Who are you so we know who to look for? Mike
  9. for me I'd take the sticker off
  10. I would go HT. I did epic on a HT and J2c is way smoother than epic. Mike
  11. more people get cancer than do the epic. So your point is? Epic as a race is tough, but not unachievable! you. you need to train for the event just like you need to train for any event. if you aren't prepped, you won't finish, be it a 1 day or multi day race. i think the epic is a fantastic event, the racing that is, but the food, ablutions and general facilities where appauling.
  12. Hey all, Who is doing this race this year Mike
