[[Event] Amarider 100Miler & 50Miler]

Seems like the weather gods will be smiling on us....

 

16 deg at start max of 23, overcast the whole day and the wind picking up to a max of 6m/s....

 

Going to be good fun.

[[Event] Amarider 100Miler & 50Miler]

So this a week of weather watching... Windguru / YR / Weather SA...

 

That Northwester is going to make it tough. Gonna have to hide away in a bunch.

[Capetonians, how safe is this?]

I ride to work in Montague Gardens from Bloubergstrand following the cycle path, and in the afternoons do a longer loop home. I go up Tyger Valley Road, left in Potsdam, Malibongwe, and then Sandown Road back to Bloubergstrand

 

Have had absolutely no issues. There is nice wide shoulders all the way. Lots of traffic in the afternoon after 5, but it's not a problem.

[Houw Hoek Tour]

i was just thinking the same thing in prep for 100miler, have you ever done two laps before? - I suppose only possible on Day1.

 

Does anyone know if this is possible..

[New Lance Armstrong Interview]

After watching the clip, I was wondering..

 

If you could pose 1 question to Lance what would that be..

 

Here's mine : "What's the most fun thing you've done in the last 12 months"??

 

Yes, he admitted guilt etc etc...

 

But this man has been so instrumental in cycling, and in building brands... Trek, Nike, Livestrong.. Wonder if he was able to have some fun the last few months.

[Delta Trap MTB - Franschoek area]

See Jennie was 8th overall. Powerhouse indeed on the road and the MTB... Me thinks I must get hold of her coach..

[[Event] Arabella Challenge Mountain Bike Race]

Really looking forward to this event this coming weekend.

 

Some great trails out there, awesome hospitality, and off course.. Some luxury staying in the hotel as well.

 

Who else is going?

I had the pleasure of seeing the new KTM Solus Prime at Cyclelab today .... And... it's lighter than the new Trek weighing in at 6.9kg's..

this baby will look perfect in my garage next to my other orange bike:

 

 

 

Zeepee, this is the new one.... BEAUTIFULL and at 6,7kg's.... Real Racing Machine.

 

 

[Which bike]

Hi All,

 

I am getting into MTB-ing quite seriously now for the first time. Got about R 10k to spend and looking for a good quality hardtail to do some multi-day events soon. First one Sabie Experience.

 

Got an option of either a Trek 6700 - 2008 model, or GT Avalanche 1.0 2009 model.

 

Being a novice, the question is..... which one?

 

Thanks for the help.
