  1. I just love the sand dimension. We MTB'ers, we ride any terrain! Bloody hell, what a well organised event. I bonked but those water points! that one table I didn't know what to take! liquids nice and chilly, great support. Where did all the thorns go? last year I had to pull out 41 thorns in the rear and 38 in front. I only ended with 5 thorns in the front. That first climb was just so lekker, the cows across the road was nerve wrecking. See you in 2017
  2. Jip, I'm raring to go for 63km again. Tip: Top of with slime ! I pulled out 38 thorns in front tyre and 41 out of my back tyre.
  3. Jip, saving my energy for phili! not that far away and I've got some outstanding issues to address with myself in that race
  4. rather doing Philidelphia MTB, the saving in entry fee I will use to top up with extra stan's cos that race is a thorn in my side.
  5. My Alu epic comp weighs just under 12kg, not bad for a non carbon bike. Planning on making it lighter but don't have money
  6. At the XCO#1 there was this laaitjie that came to lap me. I saw him coming and was looking to give him some space to pass. Before I knew it he was on on my wheel saying: "Track Oom, Track Oom" I felt like giving him a snot klap, He made me feel old and slow at the same time. But Kudos, that kind of respect I'm seeing less of with youngsters
  7. If going via road & lwr main rd, watch out for the cars. Try to still leave before peak, cos certain cars are very edgy in the morning. If you wanna go via mountain, then go to Rhodes Gate, after 6am, then just wait for other bikers and tag them, lots of bikes and runners out in the morning.
  8. thanks for update, hope plan B is also not affected. One can't predict where fires are going to happen nevermind trying to stop it. Due to family commitments I have delayed entering early for any events, in light of these fires. Not a bad ploy considering the fires. I do understand that early entries is good for the organisers but holding back is just as good so that if they do need to refund then there is less admin
  9. Ok, was going to do this but no thank you, its an expensive trip and must be worth it, iow, I wanna suffer. I thought the lite is their for those that just want to take it easy
  10. Or could it just be that the women field is not so strong compared to men? So men have to specialise and put their effort into one discipline to get some silverware
  11. Respect Sauser, Sipho you earned to ride with Sauser, so continue working hard.
  12. the other day there were pictures of rangers on the mountain being posted on Facebook, very assuring. Yesterday on TM, morning and afternoon commute, not a ranger in sight. Where are they?
  13. got a We Bike at Sportmanswarehouse , my third son will be using it soon. No problems with it, so a good a choice. I think so long the child is comfortable with it I don't think there can be much between the various brands
  14. 2 afternoons in row commuting home and cars were parking in the cycle lane galore. guess that fines was a once off thing
  15. By the Biscuit Mill , lower Main Rd on Wednesday 1 July 2015. CA 824 705
  16. This Cecilia trail, where is it? Is it clearly marked? no mtb allowed etc. I would hate to break any rules but just worried I wouldn't know if I see it. If it clearly says NO MTB and you took a chance OP, definitely not ayoba.
  17. I would imagine that the CTCT organisers would have planned for all scenarios and have various contingency routes in place. I think given the timeframe, the execution thereof would be the problem.
  18. 4x4 at Cape Epic - Land Rover Bike at Cape Epic - Specialized Cellphone at Cape Epic - iphone Car at Cape Epic - BMW See it all works out!
  19. I do hope that these fancy cars come with bluetooth as well that pairs a cellphone, cos most of the folks driving these cars in CT CBD definitely don't have bluetooth cos the phone is always held against their ear
  20. at least they upfront unlike the Chinarrelos
