  1. Tackled 3 Peaks this past weekend, what a brutal route. We can just be thankful it was not a summer scorcher.
  2. Well my focus has mainly been trail orientated since taking a 2 week break after Comrades in June. I knew I couldnt repeat last years performance but nothing was going to stop me from trying. I like the go till you blow approach, well guess what it doesn't always pay off. In hindsight I should've started more conservatively and not get sucked into the pace the A batch guys start off with. After 10kms I had 39mins on my watch and I already knew I was in big trouble. PR's right up until the half marathon mark. Struggled with a stitch and often had to tap off the pace to recover, I was so smashed that when the Sub 3 bus caught me in Salt River, I could only hang on until The Company Gardens and had to let them go. Still thought I could sneak in under 3 hours but that headwind in the last kilometer was the final nail in the coffin. 3:01:43 eventually. P.S. Did anyone else notice the concrete bit pass the Sea Point Pool is actually uphill.
  3. just my bit of experience of plantar fasciitis which may or may not be the same for you, but for me it started when I did a trail run race in shoes too small for me. I've since gone one size up in all my running shoes.
  4. Also got no email yet but if you log into your profile you'll see the status of your entry.
  5. Track is a good foundation for Road Cycling. BMX too and it will compliment Mountain Biking a lot as well.
  6. As the title says... actually it has been alive for a couple of years now, thanks to the wonderful work of a few dedicated Parents of riders or Adult riders themselves. Western Cape Hosted the National Championships this past weekend at Zone7 MX Venue, here are just a few photos from all the weekends action. The season is actually coming to an end but there are still 3 races left on the calendar during the month of October so pull in at one of these venues if you are keen to give it a try especially if you use to race in the 80's and 90's or 00's there is a category for every age. Kraaifontein BMX CLUB - 6th October. Zone 7 BMX CLUB - 20th October. Overberg BMX CLUB, Hermanus - 27th October. Other bmx clubs in the Western Cape that have tracks to ride and practice on but do not host races yet as it doesnt meet certain criteria are Songo in Khayamandi, Velokhaya in Khayalitsha, Princess Vlei in Elfindale.

  7. You need to up the ante. Cash offer and a replacement bike, he has to bite then?
  8. Member 4107 joined 16 years ago, Milky is my real life nickname since childhood days. My work colleague Pieter Blaauw aka PhatCyclist / FatCyclist introduced me to this platform and what jol it has been. Well Done Matt & Nick and Team.
  9. I couldnt get an entry in time, all the best I'll be marshalling for you on Kloof Nek Road crossing.
  10. I’ve done both, Swartberg 100 ends off with the Pass and PA starts off with the Pass. Different sides and different dynamics, different race. Glad I was there for the inaugural in 2016 then again back for 2018. 2017 was a wash out. Thanks Big John and Team it was a privilege to ride your event. All the best with the future endeavors.
  11. so about knee height then, can you walk through or is the current too strong?
  12. There is also this 2 day event for Gravel & MTB's, 19-20 October, relatively cheap for what you are getting. https://www.entryninja.com/events/80074
  13. It's the end of the season time of the year so understandable that numbers will be low. But it's on the map now so expecting numbers to increase.
  14. I just did the one day last year & drove in & out on the day. You live even closer than I do so it's a no brainer. Bit if camping is your thing then its not a bad option either. Route is also lekker non technical so perfect to clock miles of off road training/racing.
