  1. I hate riding in the wind at the best of times, but you won't be able to choose the weather on race day so you might as well get used to riding in the wind. Just see it as additional resistance trianing, and remember to keep your mouth closed for any flying foreign objects in those strong gusts of wind...
  2. Good luck to everybody riding the Carousel this year At least it seems as if you will have a dry race, however if the weather today is anything to go by, those open roads are gonna be windy
  3. Yes, the event start from the end of the parking lot and finishes in front of the main gate (taking things from last year). Your family receives free access to Sun City and the Valley for the day and you would park at the normal day visitor parking.
  4. I use the Parktoolz biodegradable chain cleaner/degreaser. If i know where to find more of this stuff separate to the chain cleaning tool, I'll buy large quantities. This stuff is awesome!!
  5. I'll keep tabs on this conversation... currently in the market to have my bikes insured with a good and cost effective company
  6. Will the CHOC guys in JHB also be collecting for the same cause?
  7. You must be joking.... really?
  8. Liked, but no win this time round unfortunately... btw, who won the draw with the jacket? Couldn't see that one on your FB page
  9. Thanks Gerald for putting this together and a HUGE thanks to the prize sponsors... Not that I was anywhere close to the prize podium, but good to see our local TDF game so well supported
  10. OMW... talk about a drop in ranks... jeez. Hopefully by Sunday i would have climbed up the ranks a bit
  11. Seems like I'm still in the main pelaton, but slipping away and loosing that wheel
  12. I think i replied to this add the first time that you started advertising... I was "tuned" the gap between JHB and CT is to big
  13. Can't wait for Sunday.... Holding thumbs PS: Draw 2 will do just nicely
  14. I see myself slipping further and further down the ranks each day.... Let's hope the mountain stages are good to me
  15. Sweet stuff.... "Liked" I see you guys are on 1852 likes already (after I clicked the like button)... almost prize time!!
  16. I was full of hope when Cav went as i didn't pick him, however now with Mr Froome gone... eish. Was hoping for some lekka mountain points
  17. So let's give it a bash... Alberto Contador Chris Froome Alejandro Valverde Peter Sagan Marcel Kittel Andre Greipel Vincenzo Nibali Rui Costa Thomas Voeckler
  18. The start of this profile reminds me of the Amashova race where you climb straight out of PMB and then only the route settles down
  19. That little section there is becoming a huge risk!! Always hear of hijackings going down there. Glad you're ok!! Best is not to attempt that stretch alone
  20. I also managed position 100+ in previous competitions... Still a lot of fun though Gerald, thanks for putting this together again... will PM my winning team to you shortly
  21. Maybe the spelling doesn't say much, however there has always been something fishy with any add where the guy can't spell. "Cateye Strada Computor" Really?? Tell the oke you have somebody in the area that will come have a look at the bike... See what he says
  22. How will this event be timed? SSTiming? Where do you get this, and those racing boards? On the road i know all about Racetec and Championchip etc... quite new to the MTB races
  23. So... any advantage of being an FNB client and entering this race?
  24. Only half the monster... i don't intent going the full monty on my first mtb race, so 45km will do just fine
