Training wheels

This is a great event! Proper mountain biking route with lekker water stations and atmosphere, very well organized.

Any MTB group rides in Mossel Bay area?

Any transport from Mossel bay to Uniondale on the morning of the race or anyone who can offer me and my bike a lift? I will gladly contribute to cover costs. Please contact me!

Trek Top Fuel 9.8. There is a new gen out and you should pick up a good used bike in you price range. I had a Top Fuel 9.8 before my Super Caliber, and the Top Fuel is definitely a much more comfortable ride.

This question by Wanted makes me wonder if it is wise/the right thing to have a road bike on the indoor trainer if I am only doing mountain biking? With the difference in geometry, body position etc., etc., will one gain muscle strength on the specific areas used on the mountain bike. It might be marginal, but there is surely a difference to the exact part of the muscle applied on the different bikes/set-ups which could influence the effectiveness of training on a road bike for mountain bike racing. Your opinion?

Cut emergency blanket to wrap over toes/feet over socks inside your shoes.

I am convinced that my cramping was triggered by certain energy gels. Cut the gels and my cramps are much less.
