A camelbak with a bunch of tools suffices im not pro enough to ride without 2lt of liquid on my back... including spare tubes, bombs, tools, puncture kits, hand pump, snacks, rainjacket.. and ive never used any on myself, but have rescued quite a few riders already by having it handy
Which crossing is this exactly? I see they tarred over the one which you hit just after turning left back to the N2 from Franschoek.. Or is this the one on the left hand side going over a dirt road towards Paarl, closer to town?
make sure you try disassemble it as much as possible, then pack into a compact bike box or something similar. They will bill you on the volumetric space the bike takes up in cubic meters im sure, hence the price. Pack it small and itll cost less..
Mix with milk, or water before a race. Milk takes longer to break it down, water its alot quicker. Only enjoy the original flavour, rest are pretty bad. Take it as a shake though, not as a bowl of porridge.
Have been eating this stuff every morning for 2 years, its great, havent been healthier. Brother in law whos life revolves around his bike shop and his riding introduced me to it and hes been having it daily for 3/4 years. Doesnt take anything else..
Being somebody who plays paintball at every opportunity I can understand the alure of taking pot shots at passing riders. But as a mature person, I would never ever do that, the possibilities of harming someone are too great to take a chance. I wouldnt do anything to anybody that I wouldnt want done unto myself..
Apparently he wasnt wearing that neck protector DH'ers are supposed to be wearing for hyperextension accidents. I think this guy was also riding Jonkershoek in the morning. Horrible to hear though, hope he recovers..
Chatted to Mike the owner, who was made aware of this incident and will be investigating. Sounds like it was a bachelors party and these idiots went outside of the demarcated zone to take pot shots. They will be in touch with them. Let it be a warning to anybody else doing something as stupid. next time there will be an assault charge laid.
So riding up Jonkershoek yesterday, lower canary.. my mate got shot by a couple paintballers while making his way up there. Who can we contact about this? We have bruises as proof. He was also wearing a trail helmet and not a full face which could result in blindness quite easily with some well aimed shots. How the hell can you have an active paintball area right in amongst the mountain bike trails?
Check out Anatomic Sportswear, Northgate Park, just off the N1 at the Koeberg Interchange. Every bit of gear you would possibly ever need and better prices than any bike shop. I only take my bike to Crown these day, Mark is a legend, best prices and best quality bike service.
