  1. Agree could of sold my pyga 140 5 times when i listed it! XC bikes just sit in the classifieds.
  2. so i guess we gonna see a Cape epic calf tattoo soon?
  3. saw the bike yesterday best looking silverback ive seen!
  4. must say this disco system is ***! if u not motoring it they would take the piss.
  5. just called them they are updating the points manually for now! only started working on it yesterday as they dont work Sunday.
  6. Pretty much, can name the winners for the last 25 years! Can't recal the runner up. Never mind the top 10.
  7. Coming second just makes u the first loser, enough said!
  8. so what now for those of us that do adventure racing? been over 200km 8 times this year already will these days be capped at 600? most adventure races dont have chips aside from you tracking unit.
  9. 99% of the water on the otter is good to drink, just 1 river that is a problem. Take the tablets along, but truth is I never had to use them on the otter. With the water 3 rules Color, flow and smell.
  10. Tips for otter Pack light, my bag 11kg 45L + 10L, what gets dirty on the hike stays dirty! Split you food into day packs, make sure the cabin is closed or you gonna lose ur food to gennits and monkeys. Vacuum seal ur meat u can Braai for 2 or 3 days, they supply wood just bring firelighters. Sleeping pills, the bunks aren't that comfy. Make sure ur shoes are walked in, or tape feet up with elasto plast. Headlamp, spare set of batteries. 2 water bottles, 1 with just water in case u wanna cook on the trail for lunch. 1 rope between the lot of u, in case u have to swim the lottering and bloucrans, refer to ride tables to avoid this. Water shoes or a pair of crocs don't walk barefoot in the pool and on the rocks. The man with the jet boil will be king, not every member need to carry a gas burner, 1 between 2 is good, just have the second guy bring extra gas. Most of u food should be easy and quick to make, tuna in sachets is a winner! Use the tuna with provita or mix it in with your 2 min noodles for tuna surprise. Cleaning supplies should be small and again don't carry if someone else already has. Make no mistake it not an easy hike, lots of ups and downs going light is the key. We carry in about 2x500m Coke bottles with OBC or vodka, we mix the vodka with energy drink! Good luck enjoy it, it's an epic hike.
  11. I see my long rides no longer sync! the 30 min workout no problem... haven't had a ride sync in a week now.
  12. dont know these guys, only know of Darryl due to his day in yellow. Maybe we should only send people in events we think we can get a medal in. So send no one.....money saved.
  13. so work this out road 260km in 12 hours average HR 129bpm discovery points 100.... seem fair.
  14. Haven't got the refund yet! Have called them they told me it would be paid in on the 15th... Nothing yet. And I have made target every week.
  15. but most are past their sell by dates...
  16. stop with this series over 2 years ago, it has become a victim of its own success.
  17. think u missing the point here, they dont have a problem with the celebs doing the epic its the fact that is free.... sponsored by company's the average guy in SA has been supporting for years. lets be real, will u change ur bank as a result of seeing some SA celeb wearing their shirt or tweeting about them.... probably not. Cant see how they get a return on investment from this, rather dish them out to ur customers at a discounted rate, support those who have supported u.
  18. lets not forget the freedom challenge, thats where ur hurt locker turns into a pain cave.
