  1. Hi Brooksie, it seems that the prologue for this year is only at the meerendal trails. You can basically park there, purchase a pass and ride the trails.
  2. Hi, I would purchase a winelands holiday permit which gives you acces to all the trails south of Stellenbosch to Somerset. https://winelandscyclingclub.co.za/mountain-biking , other options are southey vines mtb trail, which is a small xc trail to do loops and then just the local streets, plenty of hills to climb.
  3. I Would stay away, cable actuated brakes which have no feeling, it doesn't say if the fork is air or coil, you would want an air fork and these bikes are usually poorly built which will cost a lot of maintenance to get it right and going. Try and get one of these bikes on bikehub, size dependant. https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/c/mountain-bikes?minimum_price=5000&maximum_price=9000
  4. Can you elaborate?
  5. My one friend is an Agricultural seed merchant driving to George basically every week from Somerset. He has a bakkie and thule x3 bike carrier, I can ask him if you can join him to George? dm me your number.
  6. I did my first Epic, From December til March I was averaging about 60 hours of riding with 20,000m elevation per month. Every weekend we did heat training at z2 intensity and multiple long days in the saddle. I did lack a bit of intensity, but as we were only riding to finish and not race it wasn't that crucial. The Wednesday was proper hot and brutal but if you stopped and refuelled at all the water points and had a hydration pack, you should have been fine to ride.
  7. you can see they used a design template for the mock ups
  8. the clear gel one.
  9. The Island Tribe clear gel lotion works wonders for me. If you sweat a lot it still stays on your skin and protects.
  10. Only activities that originate from a garmin device will upload to Vitality through garmin express, no secondary uploads.
  11. Yes from next year you can ride anytime. I don't know how day passes wil work or if even will be available but Noel from clay pigeon shooting can be contacted for more info.
  12. Memberships are sold out. Membership can have x4 riders and can cycle anytime of the week now.
  13. Hi, your wheel is buckled, either a damaged spoke or spoke tension is incorrect. LBS will be able to pull straight.
  14. If you have a trailer you can add a bike carrier on top. Works like a bomb and super cheap. Bike caddy has nice options, you can also get through axle fork clamps as well. Only thing is front wheels need to be stored somewhere: https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/bike-racks/758796/bike-caddy-carrier-for-trailer
  15. Our Team needs another rider, social pace 27 average and full team finish together. Let me know who wants to join. Lekker group of guys. DM me for details.
