Grease

...and on the Epic 'Fred' a 30 seems to be the sensible consensus... Horses for courses :-)

Tried out eyewearsa.co.za...very easy - decent pricing - good service. Not sure of the extent of their selection but they had what I needed. Ordered my replacement lenses 20/05...received today. delivery fee only R50. Will def use them again!

Hi Maxxis Still collating? Keen to join. Need a set of Polarised Stealth Black for my Antix. Would you be ok sending on to DBN?

Anyone know a little more about these Munn (Mung?) kids bikes? Googled - but nada! Our youngest is turning 4 and now ready for 1st bike. These look like great starters. Sadly "Ou Boet's hand-me-down" hasn't quite made the grade!

General program for me...2 x 1hr sessions midweek and a 3hr ride on the weekends. We were headed for about 25th overall but my partner had the craziest day on a bike on Day 3...early crash, then broken chain, later rear-wheel self-ejecting, knocked off bike coming out the JoJo tunnel... Awesome experience though - must be very close to SA's best 3-day!

Garmin showed it was shorter this year...95 on mine. Thanking my lucky stars though as the cramps infiltrated way too early! From 56 already %$#^! Was expecting around 5:15 and ended on 4:49. Like I said lucky the mileage had been chopped. Not one I'll look back on in fondness.

Drink of choice for Hill 2 Hill 105 on Sun will be 32Gi Endurance 1st bottle and then onto 32Gi Accelerate for the latter stages. Thing is everyone's always banging on about the importance of including real food along the way. Would the Race Food nougat blocks qualify and would they work in conjunction with the 32Gi products?

Too many cocktails there son...

The Mercury's rising...2011's heat was hectic - resembled a warzone that last 10km or so.

My 1st Argus. Saw this section on PPA when I entered just ignored it. I got confirmation after paying for my entry. Is PPA membership compulsory?

Think everyone should enlist in something like this somewhere along the way...such a different animal! Did Trans Baviaans (Langs Baviaans) with a few mates a few years back and it was standout memorable.

Thanks Dale, Any idea what kind of seeding I could expect with those results? Can't try improve on Shova this year...in the sticks riding Berg & Bush.

A real pity it's so close to B&B. Maybe next year!

My 1st Argus next year...super excited! What are the chances of a sub 3 for a relative newcomer with only 2 previous road results to go by: 3:05 at Shova last year (started in MTB category), and then 2:45 at Tour Durban earlier this year (does Tour Durban even count towards seeding?).

Hoping to do my 2nd 105! After my 1st attempt in 2011 (also after only 11mnths doing the MTB thing), entered again last year and when I showed up at registration to wade through the swamplands to get the compulsory oversized jeep t-shirt I decided right there and then to wait for 2013...common sense must always prevail! Weather's looking good so holding thumbs!
