Anyone know when/where the full results will be published? clivem2010-02-17 07:27:34

Good advice is to check the policies and values and the insurer each year, just to keep them on their toes. Also saved a bit of tin by doing this. I asked for an annual rate which gives around a 10% discount too, but gotta have the boodle upfront for this!

Great News!!!

Was it very busy when you went? Perhaps the cost of exhibiting is worked out on the cost of an entry, which may chase off many marginal shops.clivem2009-11-12 05:19:22

While on a 3 day organised MTB tour in the Free State we had three bicycles stolen on the night of 25 September 2009. The details of the bikes are: 1. Giant Anthem 2 (black) 2009 2. Raleigh Ridge Disk - Medium (2009) - 6 months old 3. Silverback Outback - Medium (silver) (2009) - 2 months old The last two bikes on the list were those of young teenagers doing their first "stage" ride and had just completed the first two days of 69km and 90km. They were naturally distraught but were lucky to be able to ride the last day half the route each on a bike borrowed from another rider who couldnt finish. Their bikes were unfortunately not insured. The matter was reported to the Ladybrand Police but no feedback has been forthcoming to date. I know its a long shot but if anyone sees any these bikes for sale in a pawn shop or where ever please let us know. Thanksclivem2009-09-29 07:24:39

Slave if you take your hands off the breaks on the downhills you'll easily make 2-45!!!

Thanks 928SL I will try & make a turn at both.

Anyone know which LB Shop(s) in JHB stock a big range of MTB shoes incl Specialised and Shimano?

Agree re the weather, makes sense! clivem2009-09-02 03:57:10

too old or too young

surely the 2009 argus seeding carries a different weighting due to the conditions on the day?

me too, being doing it long enough now!

all i know is that i took much strain coming down breedt nek in magaliesburg today where the softies on softtails didnt battle...

The top lady rider who does that may need a gender test!

that pic's vicious

If u change en-route from the long to the short route then you are disqualified, and common decency says you should communicate this fact to the organisors. Or better still dont pass the mats, or take your chip off before crossing the mats. You shouldnt really even get a time for the short leg, cos you have ridden with the faster riders and received an unfair advantage. Much like the juniors cannot ride with the vet bunches, similarly the racing ladies, etc.

We reg'd and paid for the Lost City 103km but at the collection I asked to be changed to the 70km which they happily did & re-seeded us into the G group. Issued us with G numbers and took our 103km numbers away. We started in G. So it can be legally done, its just a ball ache maybe for some people to change their numbers, or maybe they think they will get away with it and get a cool seeding for the rest of the season. Saw the same on the Carnival City where we diod the 100km and were beaten by some dood who was like 60 years old - he took the short cut and finished with an average speed of like 48+ km/hr. I know guys who reported them to their cycling clubs who then gave some weak excuses as to why this had happened. We also moved up the final rankings after they were DQ!

err chuckle

Colonel that has gotta be the best chirp I have heard for a long long time. Well done there. Thanks man that made me huckle big time!!! Btw also did the race and had a great race!
