Ordered from them and delivery sucked ... Item in stock and only after countless attempts did it get delivered.. was at the beginning of Dec and before the mad rush ..

Yes. the people that put it together need to rest and go to church

The event was a great success for all involved and a world first of hosting back to back XCO events - KZN and Australia will be trying it this year as well. Let's hope that we get enough South African UCI points for our riders to qualify for the 2020 Olympics as this was the main aim of holding the two events back to back

comes down to costs - this method is used in Australia of back to back and is being trialed here ... savings from hosting two races in separate venues plus a saving for people traveling. This is prescribed by CSA and WPMTBC is asked to host the event.

ZERO politics - i just hate typing and better with my mouth ... Saturday is SA XCO Cup series 1 and WC XCO series 1 within the same race and Sunday SA XCO Cup Series 2 ( only Elite and Junior) and no WC XCO series - what this means in SA is that the Elite and Junior have six SA cup races in 2019 and other categories have four SA cup races - depending on your category you can drop one race for the points log. From FaceBook page and edited: The National Series offers all-important Category 1 UCI points and forms part of the UCI Junior World Series. Local and international competitors alike will be looking to garner points to boost their rankings early in the season. Western Cape riders will enjoy a competitive start to the year with top racers, both local and international. Sunday 3 February: A second day of racing has been lined up for Junior and Elite Riders. This day forms part of the SA Cup Series and is an opportunity for individual riders to up their UCI points. SA riders ( Elite and Jun)to race on Sunday as the points that they earn will contribute to raise the standing of TEAM SA. TEAM SA needs these points in order to be a qualify to send a team to take part in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Would anybody know if there is an issue with steps not pulling through via Garmin sync to Discovery. Used to work 100% and the last week it has just stopped. My runs and rides pull though 100%

Where are the pics posted please

Great event and well organised. We took 55 people through from Durbies Primary School and they all had a blast - thank you

And a person was knocked down in Fish Hoek .... Do not know all details, but looked like a young lady

This was not worth the R160 ... The route was unsafe and badly marshalled ... And then to top it some very rude bloke at the end saying we are only allowed one cup of coke... Was money being saved on this ... Sometimes cutting to many corners does not help. Will never ride this again.

great route and really enjoyed the ride ..

thx Dale .. much apprecaited

hi guys, i am doing a stage race and would like to know how you keep up the diet while at these events. what do you take with you to supplement the high fat ... protein bars are loaded with carbs as well. thx

I have resorted to doing the same as ACM .. Towbar on trailer and the bike rack. I have tried all the ways over the years and this works best. If trailer did not have tent on top then I would mount on top of trailer.

thx BarHugger, i have done this test with my floor pump and also used a digital gauge ... long and short of it i have been running MTB at around 0.8 bar to low ... the pump is accurate on a road bike wheel... all very strange, but at least i know now what to work with

does anyone know where or how to test if gauge is working correctly on a floor pump? i am sure mine is way off, but not sure how to test ..

Hi Big H, I have the same pressure gauge. Are you happy it is accurate ... Compared to my floor pump the floor pump is way off ...

UCAN results: Today did five hours on the bike and had a packet if UCAN after two hours. Thought I would not get three plus, but it did not mess up the Ketones ... the UCAN was well worth it.

I agree there needs new blood and happy to stand ... Road cycling has certainly taken a back seat these past few years..

Can I have some advice on what people use on a stage event to charge GPS and phone please. There are options like power chimp and others ... Thx

Some advice please .. I have been on the diet for 3 months now and has been well worth the effort. My delemia is .... Yesterday I road for 4 hours on water, with some Brazil nuts and 15 grams of droewors. How does one feed correctly on a long ride? Thx

started following the LCHF diet 4 weeks 60:9:31 (F:C:P) determined from blood tests etc ... my question is when loosing weight does it plateau and then loose or is it constant. will keep you posted on progress
