Hey Guys & Gals
Just wanted to say that this was the most awesome enduro I have ever raced. It was just such a great experience to get stoked with your fellow racers and riding some of the best trails in the country. I even met Greg which was quite memorable.
Big kudos to Rob, Nigel, Kath and everyone else involved for organising a world class event. The EWS starting arrangement for stage 1, day 2 was interesting.
I would like to ask where can we find photos of the action, I cannot seem to find any?
Cheers
My Menabo rack started disintegrating after 3 years. Worst thing is I cannot clamp my Banshee on it, so whats the point.
I now load my bike in my Outback. Would love to buy a Thule, but that would interfere with all the bike upgrades I am planning.
Man I love Alutech!

Excellent article, this made me LOL
"Forget everything I moaned about when being forced to type out my notes on climbing - you won't give a single **** after riding the Taiwha how it was intended to be ridden. On a rough, fast trail, the kind that you maybe get a little nervous to ride, this thing will make other bikes feel like a Mumford & Sons song that you play quietly in your Yaris with the windows rolled up because it's Mumford & Sons. But the Taniwha? It's you cranking Slayer to 11 from the speakers in your Abrams tank while tearing up the grass at your old high school. It's tank donuts. "

Where is that? Lesotho? It's beautiful! The land and the bike... maybe you too
Hey Dan
That photo was taken on a farm called Pitlochrie, in the New England area. It is my most favorite place in the world. I had my 30th birthday there and got engaged there.
Man how much I miss that place now....
That design just screams shock servicing .....same deal with solid bikes
Haha yeah but Propain took the liberty to add a tiny rear fender to protect the shock. FWIW

I like that Raaw very much. It is very well thought out, but hell pricey.
This aint bad either.

Kudos to all who helped and organised at this event. It was an epic experience in the slippery conditions. The skills clinic surely helped, it was super dirty sideways fun. Sam Bull was a champ at leading us Bloem boys, we had such a great time.
I will definitely join again in 2018, the Howick trails are sick!
Cheers!
I have always been a big fan of Alutechs. I almost imported a frame, but that would have been stupid 
I was way too broke at the time 
I braai'ed whole baby octopuses the other day with a soy/pineapple juice marinade. They tasted great but they shrunk like tenfold and some fell through the grill.
They were about the size of my hands before I threw them on the grill.
I will be in Durbs next week. Everything will probs be sold out by then.
Dammit!
Lekker manne......lekker.

Hi guys
Just to update my progress.
The Champix is working very well, I am in my 4th week. Since I started the Champix, I have had some of the many, stated in the pamphlet, side effects such as dizziness, nausea, headaches, dry mouth and anxiety. I must say that these side effects only occurred a few times irregularly.
At the moment the only side effects I am experiencing are excess energy, improved smell, improved fitness and improved health. I feel great!
My GP said that it is advisable to do at least two courses of the Champix, which I will do to make sure that I have kicked the habit.
It wasn't all smooth going though, the first weekend I smoked a few and was super nauseous the next day. For the last 2 weeks I smoked 1 after having many many beers, luckily I can't remember that one so then it didn't happen, right? I is still tough after I had a few drinks and the party is rocking, but I tend to forget about the habit after a few minutes.
Good luck to the rest of you who's still trying to quit. Stay strong guys!
Cheers
