I am very excited to see whats gonna happen!!! I was thinking of visiting Rhodes in March for riding and flyfishing, I heard that the rivers are flowing very well at the moment. I really miss the place, visited there in 2004 the last time. Whats the brew there called again? Highlander? Shweet! I hope for the best, this is a very good opportunity for all SAffers. Its kind off centralish, so all provinces can attend. Its gonna be a siiiick party!!!
Tread +1 Good ol' MTB Action & MBUK at u'r local CNA. I like the online mags, but there's just something special about holding a magazine in your hands. Plus you can read it on the throne.......I don't have a tablet.
I think Tiifindel reopened last year? Its a great idea to use the resort as the base for the race. Add to that, that the race will be great publicity for the resort, and the new owner/s will benefit bigtime! They even use to have shuttle bakkies to and from Tiffindel to Rhodes, for the people whose cars can't make it up that concrete pass. Think bike shuttles. We should pitch this idea to someone..........
Hi nickelass The relief data looks promising! So who were the organisers of that race you mentioned? With the big interest in Enduro in SA at the moment the support will be much bigger. This would really be a great opportunity to get someone interested to host/sponsor/organise a race there. I am in Bloem, and I will definitely help anywhere I can.
I guess your right, I can see how that happens. Its just weird for me because I am a mech. engineer and love to know what I have and to know the specs of stuff. It just so happens that I am a punk rocker type as well, but I still love bikes way more than keyboards. I totally get your point though.
For those who have'nt seen this clip yet, watch it! Hopefully one day I will have, if only, 10% of this guys style, flow and gonads! http://www.pinkbike....video-2014.html Sorry I don't know how to embed the clip....
You mean like use the ski slope of Tiffindel for the start of the Rhodes-Mega? That might just work, and would be legendary! Anyone think that its possible to organise something like that? I will help anywhere I can. Off course the area should first be recce'd for possible trails to use or a purpose built trail to be created.
I replaced my lanky standard stem for this shweet Loaded AMX..... and replaced my old slippery flat pedals for these CB 50/50's..... and got these Teva Pinner 2's on Ebay for R760 all in all. Now need to get a dropper post......
Headshot I think that's a frikkin good idea! I have had these thoughts lately of what can be done on the Malutis, its like our Alps. Those bergs got some huge potential!
Pretty cool concept, it might just work. Just one thing, the 4 chainring segments still only have fixed diameters. So essentially I dont see it effectively changing diameter. Like if you have a disc of 200mm diameter, and you cut out segments to make it say 150mm. The resulting disc will not be circular, but like a square profile with arching sides. Just my thought.
Thanks Omega I will defs check out the outfitters sometime. It would be cool if a group of us Saffers can go! We'll show those pommies how it should be done.
I would surely like to take this on, I saw it for the first time last year and its on my must-do-within-3 years list. I am saving up for it, but will not make the capital this year. 2015!!!!!Mega!!!
