  1. Those are Mtb'ers, they don't climb like that, they are actually pushing the truck, and only 2 are needed. I would believe the climbing part if it was roadies......rotfl
  2. I usually eat oats before the time,or nutrilife,then put a banana,and peanut snacks and a chockie along with gels or 32gi chews. I also carry a 2l hydration pack,and believe me,I use it a lot,lol.
  3. This may sound stupid, but I have no clue as to why this happens, but I want to coorect the following. Whenever I go riding, I can keep a good avg until I reach between 20-30km mark, that is my absolute worst time of riding. After 30km, I am fine, and my pace picks up again, until I finished cycling. To give a slight background, I started cycling about a year ago, dropped from 113kg to 94kg. I do not have sugar, cholesterol or high/low blood, and I use nutrition every 40min. I noticed that this happens on my training rides, and when I did the trailseeker#5 half marathon. Any advice, other that H.T.F.U?
  4. Genade, daar is baie skade...
  5. Hope and pray these steroid pits don't chase you while cycling.....
  6. Also thouroghly enjoyed the race, organizing was good, nice and fast, was my first nissan trailseeker race, and my budd's first mtb race. Thnx for the staff at the registration point for sorting my problem out, without hassles, much appreciated. See you guys next year for a full series.
  7. Did a eft and cc payment, for me and a friend. Infoermed the team via email, but got no reply. So far, I received a mail for only one entry, and as I asked via telephone, never received the second mail for entry. I have the details for the second rider, can anybody from advendurance please sort this out for me please, or pm on the hub so yhat I can make arrangements to meet on Saturday morning early to sort this out.
  8. What length is your rear shock? I have a 190mm spare....
  9. Looks like threisland of Reunion, going up the mountain throught the clouds.
  10. It is legal to buy a .50cal, if you're willing to fork out R130 000 give or take, and you are registered as a collector. I know a collector in my area who owns one, also fired one shot with it, and it was NICE. When the round goes off, the cash register also goes KA-CHING, R160 a pop, lol.
  11. To be on the safe side, when mounting a rack on the venter trailer, be sure to support the trailer roof on the inside with square tubing to prevent it denting.

  13. Neurotoxic venom I. Neurotoxic spiders Neurotoxic venom affects the central nervous system and the bite is usually accompanied by severe pain. In Southern Africa the button spiders (also known as widow spiders) warrant mention in respect of neurotoxic venom. Six species belonging to the genus Latrodectus of the family Theridiidae produce neurotoxic venom and they can be divided into:black button spider complex (more venomous spiders)brown button spider complex (less venomous spiders)
  14. Cytotoxic venom Cytotoxic venom effects the tissue that is destroyed around the bite and considerable tissue damage can ensue. Lesions of up to 10 cm in diameter may develop. The symptoms develop gradually and often the person is unaware that he has been bitten until the area around the bite becomes painful. It is therefore usually difficult to ascertain the spider species that has delivered the bite, particularly since it often takes place at night. In Southern Africa three genera are of particular medical importance.Two genera, Cheiracanthium and Loxosceles produce cytotoxic venom and are medically important in Southern Africa. The venom of a third genus Sicarius, found mainly in the drier regions, has a combination of cytotoxic and haemotoxic components. However no proven cases of human envenomation are known in South Africa and clinical evidence is inconclusive.violin spiderssac spiderssix-eyed crab spiders
  15. Lay off on training until cleared by the dr. Sac spiders have a cytotoxin, meaning that the area around the bite, body tissue, will be affected, and not the cardio vascular system, like in the case of a neurotoxin. But since you never saw the bugger, I assume the dr is treating you with a "general" antivenom, or treating you symptomaticly. Rather be safe than sorry. Goodluck with the recovery.
