I am. Its a great race. Just watch out for the rumble mountains at tarlton. I lost both water bottles there last year.

Train as hard as you can and dont take it too seriously.

That bar 'overhanging' the river is a great place.

Flat and fast Sam.

This is always such a briliant answer in so many situations. You 'can' do whatever you want. But more often than not you shouldn't.

Who would operate the machine if your wife is out?

If by 'general' you mean three people on the hub. Then yes.

Sorted out

And that's how the fight started...

"was" maybe in the 90's. Now it is like R320... Just googled it, R350 for 2013.

See now, you Capies have all the good stuff. My reference comes from the likes of the Argus and the 94.7 etc.

I agree, R500 per person for 200km works out to R250 per 100km which is comparible if not cheaper than most other big races which more often than not are around the R300 mark. Sounds fair to me.

That is beautiful. What do you intend doing with it?

And please please please somewhere to charge your device!

A mate of mine went for the surgery after all the diets and the evaluations etc. I almost didn't recognise him. I think he went from around 140kg to 80kg. Did him the world of good. Based on his change... go for it.

The chap who started the thread.

What's wrong with eating chocolate?

Race it as fast as you can possibly go, it is so short it will not affect your performance for the rest of the epic. Just dont crash or break your bike, Your start batches for Day 1 are based on your prologue time and you want to be as close to the front as you possibly can.

I just got mine too now. Thanks.

Where did you get this info? At registration or did you get an e-mail or an sms?

Nothing yet...?

I use the Biogen L-glutamine mixed with the Biogen Nitroplex Meal replacement from dischem after every ride. Works a treat for me for 2 epics and day to day training.

You and me both, if I dont ride I sulk...

For shorter rides - USN engery bars. For longer rides - Powerbar.

In future, take your bakkie to B&G motors. They are behind the Total garage on the corner of Malibongwe & President Fouche drive (so just down the road from you). Speak to Boeta. The place is rough and ready but the service is amazing and the prices are unbeatable. Opel quoted me 4grand to 'fix' my aircon a while back, these guys fixed it for free while the car was in for a service anyway. You cant go wrong.
