I only came back from weekend break now, so it is the first time that I can post this. I am the guy that wiped out very close to the end before the last water point. I do not know what happened as I lost consciousness when I fell. I came to only when a guy pulled me out of the ditch with blood flowing over my face. I was completely disorientated. The Good Samaritan took complete control when he found me. He phoned the emergency number as I was apparently trying to get back on my bike. He stayed with me and kept me calm until the first paramedic arrived. He gave his time to help me. After the medic arrived he got on his bike and left. All I can sort of remember is that his name is Arno (I think) and that he is from the Paarl. I think he said that he had 2 punctures on the race. If anyone maybe know who I am talking about please pm me his or your details so that I can thank him. He is a hero in my book.

Will it work... Can I quote you to them if they stop me?

Rats Will have to make a plan then, and soon

When we go up to the race I am going to put my bike on a carrier attached to the back of the car. One of those hanging things. Do I need to have a number plate attached to the bike if it covers the car's plate?

Wife is making me go to Doc today to get all clear before Sunday. Keep having headaches and feeling nauseus. She is not believing that its just nerves.

I only got the one from Racetec with the seeding . Are you talking about another one?

Where is the weather prediction for Sunday/ It is cold here in Cape Town, hopefully it heats up in the Karoo.

Ompad, watter ompad. Ek is al klaar VREK nervous.

Then at least 2 tubes it will be. Thank you sir

Seriously. Should I take more than 1?

Was wondering if someone was going to ask that. No its not. I will have to take some tubes with all the way.

Help me please. My bicycle has got small block eight tyres on. Will this do for Karoo2Coast. And if it is not the correct option, how bad a option is it?

My first. Moer nervous

Got a Raleigh RC6000. It is solid. Due to budget I will probably ride it till my wheels fall of. Put on some Gator Skins and it is a hassle free bike.

Very nice clip. I'll put it down for a must do for next year.

Looks like nice Karoo2Coast distances. But alas, it is my son's birthday this weekend....

Thanx everyone. Will try to get extra spacers. But Fanie's picture has got me worried. There might be a reason I got it for free....

I am new to MTB. Got a pair of used Look Quartz pedals. Getting the pedal to stick is not the problem. But getting out is a mission. (At least when I compare it to my road bike.) So I am worried about what will happen if I need to get of the bike rapidly. Is this normal, or is there something I can do to make it less tight? And just before this starts an argument, I want to go with clip ins. I tried the flats but didn't like it at all.

Legs should be fine to finish. Not set any records though.

So I broke the credit card and got the 29'er silverback. Couldn't go all out and put on tubless, but I am a roady so I should be able to swop out a tube fast enough..... What else do I need to do this race, as in really REALLY need. Keeping in mind the the funds has dried up pretty much. (Especially after the argus like price of entry)

What do they normally go for? And where would I find one. With or without an owners manual. Can I get it with a 29'er, or is a 26'er better?

I have the dome on pvr. Still have to start it.

ray donovan!!!!

Leave these deep questions for a Friday. Or just leave it completely. This is a whole pallet of cans of worms....

Banana and baby potatoes. With a few gels along the way. I find that when I ride for more than 2 hours I start getting hungry and after a while it is all I can think of. The potatoes really takes the edge off the hunger. And it is easy to prep and eat in the ride. I also need something to break the sweet of the gels and powerade
