  1. As far as i know... No. Last registration is on Saturday 9am to 3pm if i remember correctly
  2. Meintjies is a machine!! Well done buddy
  3. Does anyone know where I can hire/rent a mountain bike in the Pretoria area? I would like to go an ride in Groenkloof with a bunch of mates but my road bike won't love me much if i use that there... hence mountain bike required. I phoned Groenkloof, however their rental shop closes at 1pm and this planned ride is from 4-6pm today. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
  4. I'm quite tempted to ride in this event however it's Emperors the next day... pondering pondering
  5. Ola JVZ, send me a pm with your details. I'm going to Emperors on Saturday to collect my goods.
  6. I see there is an Mzanzi App for Android also available
  7. At least it seems as if there is a little more focus and exposure this year than last year. Hopefully it grows year on year in attendance and coverage
  8. Just give your wife your number... she can pick it up. If you're riding in the racing groups, remember to give her your licence
  9. I'll see you in that VA bunch
  10. I've moved to Kempton Park recently and found out that a few guys leave the Shell garage at Finish Line cycles at 5am each morning (besides Mondays). Tuesdays are specifically for MTB. Don't know of any afternoon rides though
  11. Be sure to keep some reserve in the tank for the final km. That little uphill towards Emperors takes it toll on tired legs
  12. So general consensus is: - Just download the stuff (variety will be good) - It works fine for the Tacx Booster trainer & Rollers - Get ready to bleed through your eyeballs - Repeat as required
  13. I like going into dark places whilst training (not meant to be a funny comment ) hence I was also looking at revolver as the rating on this video is 11/10
  14. So I would take it that one simply needs to keep the cadence going at said value and set your tension to reach 8/10... I have a Tacx Booster and Rollers... Rollers, no tension though
  15. This looks MEGA Eina!!
  16. Thanks chaps for all the comments and suggestions... Currently I'm thinking of: Revolver/Very Dark Place & Blender
  17. I found this old chat and wondered if the Sufferfest users can help me out... From what you have used (still using) which videos would you say is worth while, and which are shyte? I'm quite keen to get myself a video (1 to start with) check it out and then continue from there. Are these videos compatible with both rollers and a booster trainer? Does it give resitance indications on screen? Thanks for the help
  18. I'd be keen for a course in JHB... keeping tabs on this
  19. I would imagine the 16g
  20. Wasn't it said that an image is R20 for download.... the website claims R30
  21. So Peter Parker... There seems to be a fair amount of interest in such an event. Are there any plans on the cards in putting this together?

    I pulled off in C, and i can honestly say it was a bit of a frustrating race wit us catching the B guys fairly soon after starting and not too long after that started reeling in the extended VA bunches. At the end of all these merges, we were such a big group with a whole lot of crashes and stops (of course the wind played a major factor here)... yes, literally stop, and wait for guys to get a move on again. With the first couple of hills, we managed to break up the group a bit and at least started to form a nice bunch after a while.
  23. Would have liked to make a short holiday of it... but hey, why not!! I'm sure we'll manage a long weekend only...
  24. This is my questions also... I mean honestly, who sits and thinks up this crap
  25. I find the rollers not to be as heavy on the tyres as the normal A-frame ITD's. Also not using my normal everyday tyre on the A-frame...
