  1. https://www.strava.com/segments/20145124 The segment in question. Take a look on satellite view!
  2. When you are by the red river section, follow the red/black arrows, it goes over the rocks and some dreaded grass. You will see a white/black arrow. Follow that! It is unreal... tight and twisty through the old dynamite mine, up concrete ramps, through old buildings, walkways, dense bush, all just incredible!
  3. This is in the old dynamite factory. I think the arrow is black with a white border.
  4. There is plenty maintenance happening at modders! Take a look at this bit of ruins? I don't see many people riding that side and it's really special. Real post-apocalyptic Jurassic park vibes. If more people rode these trails, the less grass there would be for people to bitch about.
  5. Yeah! Last year I made a wrong turn on the monster decent and bombed down what I can only assume was an ancient hiking trail. That was me stuffed for the rest of the race... EDIT: The wrong turn in particular, don't do it!
  6. It's an incredible race, you won't be disappointed (maybe disappointed in your legs) If anyone still wants to enter this is from Stillwaters FB page: We will be taking a limited amount of late entries at the 2019 FNB Magalies Monster MTB Classic due to popular demand. For more information on how to enter please contact entries@stillwatersports.com
  7. Hey! Also in the market for a king size XL. We have been all over trying beds and the cloud 9 is a great option. If you look overseas and on sites such as sleeplikethedead you will see the shift away from spings and coils (although a Simmons is another level of comfy). Cloud 9 along with a host of online only mattresses achieve all you need with just layers of foam. I don't think I can manage with memory foam, it's hard to roll over in the shop now imagine when i'm half asleep. I don't want that struggle. So yeah, we will probably get something with latex (natural or not) as the bounce is nice and offers great cooling. We need to try out a few more cloud 9 options now to narrow it down. Happy bed hunting!
  8. Never heard of that section, and I know no matter what tyres I put on that I will ever be on that list anyway! Goodyear tyres look really awesome and I want to try the Escape one day.
  9. I have DHF front and Ikon back. Weird combo (I don't enduro) but I got the DHF at a song to replace an Ardent up front. Swap the rear out and see from there. My bike still rolls plenty fast for marathon races and I have immense trust in my front for everything else. Great suggestion! My wife has Aggressor front and Ikon back
  10. If I had to go back to a camelbak it would be this one! https://www.onedayonly.co.za/chase-mountain-bike-vest-2.html
  11. I would say trail bike. Do you want to hurt on the uphills or the downhills? I would rather my legs suffer a bit more every climb and have a bit more bike for when I run out of talent. The only chance I ever have at a podium are fun races when everyone assumes it will be rained out and I enter the distance one up from the push bike ride.
  12. You can still do the dodging trees section if you do red now Also, over the moon Wednesday!
  13. I was there Saturday and they were very very clean!
  14. My day is made! Spent a while deciding my team name and thought I had no where to use it. Let's go Bromanteam!
  15. What a pleasant surprise to see Foresta here! You are our LWS
  16. Here is what I propose: This is what is currently in place, YELLOW route up the old single track. Used to be a lot better coming down but it is what it is. The RED route goes down the jeep track. This is not an issue most of the time but on Saturdays it is! That is the same jeep track PARKRUN comes up. It's a nightmare. The new route will make use of the other side of the single track for the route route to go down. This mean you don't share the route going in the opposite direction of Parkrun (you only cross it). Now we can enjoy the single track decent again!
  17. I love the 2 time! I really want to try Apex but Dota Auto Chess has engulfed my life!!! A mod in a game that started as a mod in a game...
  18. I don't buy toys, I invest! http://mentalfloss.com/article/571080/lego-better-investment-than-stocks-bonds-gold On display in my house now I have: 21303-1: WALL-E 6990-1: Monorail Transport System 40187-1: Flower Display 42043-1: Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3245 A whole bunch of old sets and random things in a kist
  19. Now we wait for Feb and see if it drops even more
  20. https://www.entryninja.com/events/event/43102-modderfontein-janu-worry Awesome deal!
  21. 100% cycling specific!
  22. My next bike will be the Trance 29! I'm in the same boat. I would rather have more bike for when my talent runs out, and HTFU on the longer distances.
  23. This is my dream bike! Trance 29 built from the frame only option. It's metallic green mostly but goes a vibrant purple at certain angles the sun! This bike makes me bite my fist! https://www.instagram.com/p/BpsaliLFGOx/
  24. GRIM DAWN TIME!
