  1. Yes, Stocks and Stocks, and it finished in Table View. The South Easter back was a killer on the West Coast Road!
  2. Exploring the new Fair Cape MTB Trails in the Fairest Cape this morning
  3. So true. I was running with a Seasoned runner this year, and he said, each year he has to train double as hard just to get the same time as last year. I agree with not doing too many endurance events, but feel you must focus on at least once when you hit 40+, so we focus on one super event a year.. The vibe, atmosphere and elation of Comrades is just worth the training you put in. Do it.
  4. Oceans '15 over Ou Kaapse broke me. At least it was a wake-up call to put a bit of effort in the next 5 weeks after Oceans. So if anything, Oceans will open your eyes!, But it is possible.
  5. The SuperX looks amazing if you want a solid fork: http://media.cannondale.com/media/catalog/product/cache/3/small_image/725x/17f82f742ffe127f42dca9de82fb58b1/C/1/C16_C17226M_BLK_3.1440862958.jpg The Slate falls under Cannondale's "New Road", the top version looks pretty amazing, 1 x 11 with a 44T in front: http://media.cannondale.com/media/catalog/product/cache/3/small_image/725x/17f82f742ffe127f42dca9de82fb58b1/C/1/C16_C15706M_BLA_3.1440862886.jpg Still, I'm keen to put drop handlebars on a MTB hard tail!
  6. > Rpedro & Sportsworld are you guys anywhere close to this? @ Firemeister - we're in Durbanville. You're more than welcome to pop in and ask some Comrades advice. Both my wife and I ran it. Here's our Store
  7. Hi Jigghead We wear Nathan Hip belts that can carry Gels and Vitaforce tablets. There was sufficient space for 11 gels and packet of tablets for last year's Comrades (we took 11h51 - maximum value for money)
  8. In for 2 Oceans Ultra. There's a Worcester Marathon 12th December as qualifier. Prison 2 Prison.
  9. Well rpedro, if you're doing it, I'm in as well! Entered.
  10. Amazing km's / calories / time they do. Here's 68 yo Bernard Viljoen, currently 4th on the leaderboard (almost 2,000 km), having done 146 km for the day so far and coming to say hi at the SportsWorld Store. Well done Oom Bernie!
  11. Where has your bike take you today? Nice early start to the week!
  12. Well done nonetheless Cor & Attie. These guys are tough as nails. I remember accompanying them when they Everested MalansHoogte close to Durbanville. 100km, 20 repeats later, and I wasn't even 1/3rd of the way! Have a good rest, and we're looking forward to your next attempt. Keep us posted!
  13. Good luck Cor & Attie ! We know you can do it.
  14. We've only had great feedback from our clients and they keep coming back for more. I personally use Tyre Juice and highly recommend it.
  15. It was absolutely amazing seeing these guys relentlessly conquering Malanshoogte in Durbanville, 64 times! It was an eye-opener doing the first 20 x repeats with them. Serious dedication, mental power and a touch of insanity to finish them all Definitely on the bucket-list. More updates here.
  16. What I've learnt from commuting is to have a die-hard commuter pack, something that can expand for extra gear, has enough pockets for all your wallets / access cards / locks, and sufficient hydration. The Camelbak Blowfish is perfect. http://www.sportsworld.co.za/img/p/1175-2912-thickbox.jpg Available here. www.SPORTSWORLD.co.za
  17. We're getting excellent Versus Socks feedback from our clients. Best comment was from Ezanne who bought the Versus MTB / Trail socks pictured below, "I've worn a lot of cycling socks, and Versus is the first pair I don't get holes in!". Ezanne is a Size 6, and she says the Size 7-11 fits comfortably. http://www.sportsworld.co.za/img/p/1072-2638-large.jpg The can be purchased online or at our store. Thanks for an excellent product Versus. Proudly South African! www.SPORTSWORLD.co.za
