taito

there we 2 guys on mounties that stayed on the front of AA --moer impressed

Most of the route is no probs,they have made most of Petrus se brand a highway.Its the down part to Harkerville where the roots will be snot,be carefull. Also the return part where you join the 50k it might be turned up a bit ,just look for good lines. And leave the x1 at home

Seems the weather will be ok Saturday looked like rain but latest Accuweather predicts just cloudy

any news on arrest of suspects

I have the same issue--wonder if the old XT was not better never had issue with it.

This also happened to me after a 150k day training day for the TB on the roadbike. I even visited a knee specialist. Bottom line is dont overtrain,spin light gears as far as possible. It seems its a small Bursar where the tendon meets the bone that was overworked. I now keep my training rides under 100k and train more often,this injury took me 3 months to overcome. Both my ITB`s have been relaxed so its not ITB related. Stay off the bigblade stuff.

a lot of riders go out on Tue and Thurs from Spar Kragga Kamma to Van Staadens old Red bridge or nearly. This is usually from next month as training for TB The slower riders leave 5.45

Nice song on the radio--have a nice day Cause you had a bad day, you're taking one down You sing a sad song just to turn it around You say you don't know, you tell me don't lie You work on a smile and you go for a ride need I say more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A heavy lube will cost you energy is the long run.Stick with thinner or wax type. I spray my MTB chain with DWF basically E20 and no problems

Crazy,,,ban these okes this incident will go viral and all roadies will de targeted. Cape town two weeks before Argus is a testostarone filled roady crazy merlee ,its like a keg of powder waiting to go off . this time of year too many bikes too many cars. Head to the mountains

2 years ago I decide to do the Kenton ON Sea race near Port Alfred.So I load bike ride the 150k there early in the morning from PE. After finding the start I begin to wonder wheres all the riders??? Go onto internet on the phone to find out its the next weekend.DAHHHHH

some years ago,I ride the morning bunch in PE around marine drive so I have to leave home at 05h00 and in winter its still dark. So at night I get everything ready so not to disturb vroulief, early I get dressed in the dark. Halfway aroung Marine drive I look down to see my pants inside out with the red butt pad shining away. I did a very sudden slowdown and solo home. regards inside out.

Heads up guys Two cyclist were mugged near Walmer township Saturday morning early. Both bikes were taken and both cyclist was stabbed and ended up in Hospital. This was 2 seperate muggings. Be careful If you are coming to PE avoid that area of Walmer.

What a day,nice cool weather,great new start area that opens the field a bit. Quite a bit of powdery dust in the first 5 k`s but plain sailing after that.The rivers were also much less of a factor than expected I also battled with riders not even attempting to ride river crossing. As always the last 20ks is a bitch by that time im running on empty.Once again Stans did its job,running along the game fence 10k in some guy passes me and I feel drops on the face so not too worried.So yesterday washing the steed I find this really sticky mud all over the bottom tube yip hard Stans ,,had a puncture but no worries plugged in the ride. Thanks uncle Stan

After 3 years relax just ride

After riding a couple of transbaviaans and Attakwas events all that gels do is upset your tummy. A combination of energy drink,water and some coke at the tables is all you need.I feel that people do not realise the importance of WATER. Yes keep a gel for emergencies but stick to normal food-salty patatoes. As with all major products the suppliers will promise the world but deliver little. Gels are a expensive eye blinder. Training is the answer

Daai drop in na die rivier by Spur, ek ry so 3/4 en loop maar laaste paar meter. Daar is nog baie racing daarna. Wonder hoe sterk loop daai rivier

Come on Atta no 4 If all goes well hoping for around 7 hour mark. Thats if we dont have a heat wave...........................

About back up drivers--No you can race without -no problem. Having said that, your projected time will be a big factor in deciding on a back up. If you looking at 12 hours dont have one the water pionts have everything you need.If you are in for a much longer ride it is nice to have new items given to you at Kondoma,also remember the back up driver only clocks in at Kondoma,Zuurbron and the finish I think. Last year we raced without one and it was great,just remember then you have to ensure that you are self sufficient on the bike.If the weather really changes you can be caught out badly so by having family waiting at Kondoma can save your Butt. If you look at the complete race distance once you get to Kondoma you have done 3/4 of the race already.We pulled into Kondoma tent had chow,filled bottles and gone in 10 min.

thanks for the feedback maybe these stickleggs of the 48yr old will adapt,must say im worried about Atta with the 2 blade 38 vs 42 ,

Cap whats the weight diff between XT 3 blade and xt 2 blade cranks??

where do you source that setup??

thanks,what is the biggest rear granny you can get for the xt 10sp.??

I have a scott 910 that now comes with a 2 blade front set up,after riding 3 blade on my expert I find it quite hard to adapt. Any simular stories--.I feel the ratio drop between big blade and small blade is very big and that the climbing gear is just to hard compared with the old donkey gear. Im a small rider, Shimano gearing

What kinda milage per week should a person be looking at in Dec 350 good enough
