Fran Ferreira claims SA second medal. Silcer in the 50-59 race.

and his brother Duane in the 30-34...

Burry's old man, Charles in the 60-64 catergory, will be emotional for him thats for sure

Watch Tyrone Stephenson in the mens 50-55, he is my bike mechanic, lives in Ballito, spoke with him last week, the man is in top, top shape, will be racing a custom yeti ASR allu 26er duallie, with a lefty, weighing 7.4kgs!!!

Thanx boss.

BOOM! first medal for SA, Ann Harrison 3rd in the 45-49 race!

A Saffa, Natalie Bergstrom leading in the 40-44 catergory, GO GIRL!!!!!

Anyone know where we can get the start list?

and in related news I saw Emily Batty tweeted that she is on her way, boys, do yourself a favor and have a look at her twitter avatar, holy smokes! Dit is nou a mooi aunty! I will save you the trouble:

Been quite a sh i t storm on twitter over the "dumbing" of the XC course for the masters, come on guys, this is not a speed knitting contest, pull on your big girl panties and harden up.

I'll share half the shipping costs if you pay for the frame.

LOL, shame.

pappa wag vir hom...

thats karma for riding on tar...

Thats where mine broke...

I was on that ride, he would have snapped a steel "pos kantoor fiets" he rides like a savage, respect! I've snapped a Momsen frame, whilst at my current racing weight of 105kg. Do a search and you will find that all frames can and do break, i am not sure if it is an inditement to the Chinese frames, the real question would be, What is the ratio between Chinarello and bigger brand's frames failing? That is the only way you could make an objective comparrison. I am convinced that the results of the above will surprise us all....

Fourie du Preez was sublime off the bench, even against the poor competition, he made Ruan look pedestrian in comparrison, pity he will not travel to Aus and NZ.

I have just submitted my photo for my VIP all access pass, it not what you know....

Man up lads, lets do Fri, Sat and Sunday!

Oh and Jarek's tuck n roll off the skinny needed to be added also....

Did a quick loop with the Spruit Manne on Sat, I want to add the following as segments, the tree jump, the Spruit skinny, that one gap jump, the park bench hopping, and seeing my miellie on some itchy balls on the pavement outside the botanical gardens. Possible?

I've been riding Holla alone for 4 years, no issues. Since Holla opened about 4 years ago, there has been only one incident, an attempted bike jacking, bike was never stolen and the trail team caught the guys immediately, I would ride with you, but I am most definitely below average. Go to the Holla Trails Facebook page, plenty of guys to hook up with. The new red and Maroon route are incredible, the yellow is 45 Kay's with 700 mts verticals gain, then the black, 86 Kay's, 2000 mts vertical gain, but some incredible riding. Red is 28 Kay's, a tough ride, Mardon about 26ish reasonably tough, yellow is quite easy, blue 20 or so, easy riding, with some nice single track.

Kings transformation, load of bollocks, they even tried to get the oversees player quota increased, their team was less reprentitive that the other Super Rugby teams.

XTR.

The kings won the fight, but lost the war, it is a scandal that this relegation battle had to take place, no team deserved this. I am overjoyed that my Lions are back in Super Rugby, but this should have never been the scenario, the Kings did not deserved to be relegated but neither did the Lions deserve to be knocked out in the first place. SARU, you effing bunch of wankers!
