  1. Nice review. Looks like a nice bit of kit too.
  2. Felt a bit cheated to be honest, I don't mind the way it turned out but at least show us how it got there. Felt like a director with a reputation for clever twists desperately trying to find a way to create his latest clever twist.
  3. Think about it for a moment, can you for one moment picture us lot in lycra without you ending up mentally scarred and requiring ongoing therapy? It was lovely meeting, and being out-ridden, by you guys.
  4. Is that the current state of the tyres in the photo? If it is they look okay for now. If you need to change (assuming you are trail riding rather than hitting lots of gravel) the New Nobby Nic from Schwalbe are popular right now. Edited to remove some mad auto corrections...
  5. And yet still ahead of me
  6. It certainly looks that way. A couple of Hubbers at the the same spot including NixM, Myles, Raydek and just out of shot Capricorn along with some random lady in pink - http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r251/mss-65/Hoogekraal%20july%2015-7_zpsxypk99zs.jpg
  7. That was fun but Damn my fitness levels right now... After six months of no Tokai it's like starting out as a new cyclist every time we do go out and upon getting home I end up crashed out snoozing for an hour to recover. Ben had a right mixed day starting with an asthma flare up on the Hoogekraal climb, continuing with an errant bee crashing into his eye at Contermans but finishing with him hitting a little bit of form when we dropped into the black trail there. I finally got a bit of flow going when we descended down Contermans but my legs feel distinctly second hand right now.

    This.
  9. I see Jules Bianchi passed away this morning. RIP.
  10. Starts from just north of R100 pm and up. Well worth the cost.
  11. Couldn't possibly be owned/run by the same or related people though. No, Never.
  12. To be fair sometimes they do but more in a *confirming what I have just done* way rather than a signal of intent.
  13. It's decent enough viewing and worth a watch.
  14. The full saying ends with 'practiced by those of the highest intelligence'. So a backhanded compliment there then.
  15. It was real. That said while we saw him ride up nobody saw him come back down again...
  16. The Pyga was around when we rode down. And the little maniac left me for dead again. It's become a recurring theme and I don't see it getting any better...
  17. Rode Contermanskloof and Bloemandal with Cpt armpies El Capitan Renaissanc, oh sod it it was Myles, Raydek and my son Ben. Had a great day, although my lack of fitness really gave me pain on the climbs and as usual Ben murdered me on the descents. Relaxing at the end of the Conters part of the day http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r251/mss-65/DSC_0341_zpsvu3fhztq.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r251/mss-65/DSC_0338_zpse2vl3sin.jpg Ray gets some air at Bloemendal http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r251/mss-65/Ray%201_zpsnxkcj6j0.png http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r251/mss-65/Ray%202_zpsjuk0wzhk.png
  18. Looks like that to me. I've seen a dislocated elbow look like that and also seen an upper arm snap and that resembles the elbow event more closely. Could be wrong and wouldn't wish either on anybody* *Well maybe one or two. But not many, honest.
  19. Double post.
  20. I can see why. Going away from the basic story and getting into the realms of an art film from the eighties.
  21. Positive - the New trail is on city of capetown land.
  22. No permit needed for blackhill at the moment, bear in mind it us only a small trail at the moment but the plan is for it to grow over time.
  23. I hear you, gone from riding 4 or 5 times a week to twice a month. Blackhill is legal. Drive over Ou Kaapse Weg past Longbeach Mall and through the traffic lights onto Blackhill Road. The Trail is on the right around 800 meters past the lights.
