  2. hope for a fast recovery, that area you can get serious speed.... towards sedaven dam
  3. and take spare tube and a pump
  4. lakker il have a look, thank you sir
  5. this sounds good, if you dont mind sharing the route we'd like to give this a bash
  6. i rode a large dualie, had lower back cramps numbness etc i then went to a med ht, felt so much better no cramps or pains, now ive bought a med dual as well... im 1.83 tall i can ride med/large, the smaller of the two has worked out better
  7. ive lost count how many times i have lost my bottles this way, eventually took it off, i think i should give that blackburn a try
  8. I wouldnt hey, rather get good rest. maybe u arent resting enough hence keep getting sick
  9. agreed go play in thaba blue.....
  10. hayley, in comparison which was better the road or mtb? im guessing road? i wondered if i shoudve done the roas aswell... this years mtb race had alot more climbing, was more stimulating. last year we had 2 hills thats it. saw some serious accidents though
  11. atleast you got fluids, ive done races on number of occasions where they have run out before half the pack has even passed them. some races have even served warm water in the middle of summer. best thing to do is carry sufficient fluids and food
  12. you sir are talking the truth, 1 day in my humble wisdom decide to go have a quick afternoon lap by myself, 22km into the loop i hear my back tyre pop, no problem i say i packed my spare tube, i stop , start unpacking my goods, ummm no spare tube....i forgot it in the car... my heart sank, so i reckon dont panic, lets make some phone calls, that was a disaster, no signal, and when i did get signal i lost it again moments later, but finally got hold of some one to come assist, that was an interesting monumental f%&* up, ive ridden there time after time, you become so complacent and you think "it will never happent to me" i now carry 2 tubes, bombs, levers, patch kit. but still doesnt minimize the danger of possibly falling when taking those descents, if one had to have a major fall, it could be some time before some one passes, and if they see you. but this is by far a awesome place to ride , best hill training id say

    Lost City 2013

    yeah last year the sky train was broken and the busses were taking forever we eventually walked up, damn its a far walk after 60km mtb, but its a nice ride worth the drive

  21. was the 75km monster really 1750m climbing any one check it?
  22. i could not believe it, i just shook my head and pushed till the top, and there were a couple of *** climbs in the end
