So.... How is the training going guys???? And girls??????

Iewers het iemand se kop uitgehak toe hulle hierdie fiets ontwerp het!

How does the organisers justify more than a 14% increase in the cost of doing this event when the offering stays average? Remember this fee excludes your "reserve" fee, pasta meal and if you pay with a credit card they slam you with another 6% fee on top of your entry fee. And I KNOW that that is not the fee the bank is charging! Come on Ecobound, we as riders commit to your event, but it seems your commitment to us does not stay in line with your financial demands from us!

My 29er Anthem just picked up a shudder and guess.... yip! The FOX Shock! Now its holidays, nobody can fix it and just for fun I'm having to train for the ATTA! And I hear its not the first 29er Fox shock going busted within 1 year of rather rustige riding!

I was in A and yes I saw the 2 18 wheelers, scary ****. But I also saw guys riding slip over the white line nearing the other yellow line and not taking notice of fellow cyclists telling them to come left of the line. There were some bike marshals, but not the normal number and on a few occasions they too got the finger from some of the guys. We do have to start taking some responsibility for our actions, Everyone knows the rules, yet only a few obey. Who are we going to blame if someone gets hit by a car on the wrong side of the white line, the car, the bike marshal or the cyclist breaking the rules?

So why no more MTN event? Become too easy??

Conditions must have really been tough, but agreed, they should have had an alternative route worked out. ****, I hope the Sani doesn't get cancelled like that!

I need some help with cramps, BUT, not that easy. Cramping toes on my road bike after about 70 - 80 km's! And it gets #$%^& painful! So painful I can't walk propoerly afterwards. I was thinking it might be my cleat setup, but I've checked it and it seems correct? So, PLEASE help, cause it just aint fun!

True to its helmet's name - ZUMA - equals lack of financial savvy!!!!

SAme as above, cannot get rid of these sore ITB's??????

My experience is that the K2C is a "sunday afternoon ride" against the ATTA. Forced to miss my 3rd on physio advice because of a buggered neck!

Anthem all the WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Must be the thread that is going to unleash the most trivial discussion to date! Prevention is better than cure, they say!

Dis nou wat hulle noem - OP JOU MOER KRY!

Giant Athem X 29er

Invest in some good legs and an average bike will make you look like a race snake!!!

Rather peeved at the delay because I'm riding the Rhino tomorrow so no shopping for me!!??

Value for money - Giant 29er and then pimp the **** out of it!

They dont seem to ship to South Africa

Does the extra costs of a carbon bar justify the small differences when copmared with a good alu or composite bar?

Invigorating!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, now I have to eat humble pie..... Sorry Sani2C, just got my Congratulations......

I would love to know how they did the draws for this 3rd race? We were relatively high up on the waiting list (which was also a farce with the whole registration f'up) and then we miss the selection for this race as well? And this when guys who were also on the wait list, close to us, got theirs? This just seems a race that I wont be doing, not because of ability, but because of IT!!!!
