its generally a flat race....but had some nice bumps in, flat compared to walkerville classic or the monster

was a good ride out, the 75km route was superb , great views from the top of the mountains we climbed.... loved the rocky climbs on the "loop" and "wilkie se buletjie" ...heartbreak hill broke a few chaps...saw some people cramping and swearing up that short hill.. water points were friendly and stocked definitely be back next year !!!!!

wheres that facepalm pic that goes around every now and then ???? we need it here epic easy ummmm ok dude.....jaa nee

thaba blue.... will keep you entertained for some time rietvlei trails are good took the lady there on fri she loved it, a lil bit of mud but nothing hectic...

I have switched to water only during my rides in my camel pack, however I find that I ride for longer without cramps with just water.....if I know its going to be a 4-6 hr ride I make sure I grab some chow and a coke mid way and im alright this works for me, but may not for some one else

jaaa breedtsnek and lots of district roads around canopy tour etc....

ive moved from coke, to coke zero, but neither is good....but I just enjoy it to much

I heard that saying nothing rides like steel, didn't think much of it till I rode steel myself...

if that's ti .....

im scared to go to thaba on my ss........thaba blue eish

32x18 buying a 17 this weekend

that vid makes me want to pack up and move to ct, awesome scenery

I agree from a maintenance point of view, sunday I went cruising through mud puddles like no ones business and no gear problems niks a little bit of squeaks , where as my geared bik I know for a fact by third mud puddle im having shifting problems

that's madness.....think of coming down the back of breedts nek fixed? il dislocate my entire spine and legs spinning so fast

and people with gears check me funny lol.......

ok ive recently been riding my ss rigid for 2 months ive seen improvements in strength, choosing lines, handling and fitness im finding im leaning more to the ss when I go ride I leave the geared behind.... what do you guys see as pros and cons on ss ?

I heard about this on twitter, thought it was a rumour , I cycle through there on my mtb towards grassmere .....that's not happening soon after this

heres better quality pics

I love that green.... very nice build there

rocks, sand, smooth, a little bit of jeep track in the beginning, you got to be mentally prepared for this one, climbing the monster is tough, and then coming down the side of the mountain before breeds nice and rocky good race overall.....this one hurt me

that monster was kaaaaaak....9km of climbing and when we got to the top we saw the waterpoint on the other mountain.... that was sould destroying hahaha

this one hurt me ....... on the cards for next year though
