    thanks, now I know I can finish it as well, what a loooooong day in the saddle
  2. Oufy MTB (Roadie)
    If you want to finish it fast, top speed then go for the 34t, I never did the race before but the profile does not suggest that one's climbing will be tested. That is why I still love my 2 x 10, just get on and ride! Hey and enjoy!
  3. Oufy MTB (Roadie)
    The organisers to comply would have to complete massive risk and contingency plans. riots and protest action form part of that. Then they have a trigger that sets off a certain contingency plan. So no last minute plans are made, only last minute decisions. Unfortunately, hosting an event with 30 000 plus participants requiring 108km, your contingencies are extremely limited.

    Tactically, if I was to protest against the 'authorities', then the CTCT was the best event to do it in. OMTOM, will be next.

    The weather will always have a say. You can't control that even if you move the date. Yesterday was perfect. What is worrying is future protest actions.

    great!

    awesome machines

    I was totally hopeless at last year's XCO but absolutely enjoyed it. My arm still not 100% so going to miss being hopeless at this one.

    "SANParks communications manager for the Western Cape region Merle Collins explained that the Table Mountain Visitor Safety Unit was stationed on the mountain and comprised 100 rangers, 60 unit members and 12 dogs. She said the unit worked in conjunction with police, the department of community safety, the City of Cape Town, Metro police and civil society groups to enforce the law and ensure people’s safety." Ok, I got new spectacles in July 2016 but tend not to ride with them because it is not necessary for cycling, only for reading. Clearly I need to wear my specs all the time because I'm missing some stuff

    I think having more than one event on one day/weekend is going to be quite common. As I understand the 2 events are aimed at different crowds. But fully agree, one would expect more info, especially that it is literally around the corner. I'm keen to do the full marathon but require a bit more info. Otherwise I just buy permits at Oak Valley and Paul Cluver on the same day and do my own marathon on another day
  12. Oufy MTB (Roadie)
    Is that elevation of 319m for the 75km route? If so, this seems a very flat race IMHO
  13. Oufy MTB (Roadie)
    my elbow is broken so I'm out for the rest of the year but do hope there are more affordable 2 day stage races in the future. I really think there can be more.Affordable
  14. Oufy MTB (Roadie)
    Origin of trails is like more than half the price and last year I did it for the first time and wish I had more time to eat. I don't have the time for 3 day events nor the funds. So affordable 2 day stage races are very welcomed.so come on knock that price down
  15. Oufy MTB (Roadie)
    since you suggest baby formula dispensers, I suggest instead of a cloths, use wet wipes. Works brilliantly :-)
  16. Oufy MTB (Roadie)
    yip, planning to do the same
  17. Oufy MTB (Roadie)
    Or could it just be that SA MTB pros are not really taking glory at the Cape Epic, WC XCO events and other international stuff? I know our DH dude is right up there.
  18. Oufy MTB (Roadie)
    lovely day out, well done to organisers
  19. Oufy MTB (Roadie)
    So how does it then work?
  20. Oufy MTB (Roadie)
    Wow, what an achievement.
  21. Oufy MTB (Roadie)
    lovely race, did the 60km, was sliding all over the place in that muddy forest section
  22. Oufy MTB (Roadie)
    normally our Para athletes do well. would be nice to see pics of them and their equipment, Especially the dudes where they pedal up climbs using arm strength, they must be super strong
  23. Oufy MTB (Roadie)
    I think this is really useful if going into really remote areas and then that yearly fee is ok. But as you said, most trails are in cellphone reception area, where a fully charged, reliable cell phone would do the trick. MySos is also cool
  24. Oufy MTB (Roadie)
    Great series, hopefully I can increase my participation
  25. Oufy MTB (Roadie)
    Fasting, so have to sit this one out, go FTW Nick
