  1. I am sure everyone would see the benefit no matter the stage of your cycling career... Personally, I think it would be a great way for any amateur cyclist to start. Pay the bucks, and get everything set up correctly from the start. Added benefit would be to go back every few year(s) and use it as a measure tool or to increase efficiency.
  2. HA! The Nissan Trailseeker this weekend was a shining example where the new climb they added was single track, up a hill that some people were walking out. On the left there was no space to move over and if you tried right, you'd P@#$ off a hill, hitting about 15 m of rocks before stopping. I was stuck behind some guys because if you cant pass, then you're not supposed to lose your mind and be a dwis. Just sit back, save energy and blitz past as soon as it opens up a bit
  3. Cross country races makes you faster in technical stuff. Marathon races [and I know because I ride Marathon] makes you lazy, those 3 arrows are hardly technical considering the stuff you do in XCO. So my 2 cents... If you're not in A batch, series contender or recognised pro, I will let you pass as soon as it is safe. There is no way I'm going to pull off for Mr. ScreamsPass who is only a slightly faster in single track or on a descent, till we hit a climb or rock section and I drop him.
  4. After their expensive deep sections, they don't have money left for scales
  5. Well done Scotty, you have the balls none of the haters on this thread has. While driving to work the other day [July someday] I saw this guy riding a GT Zaskar Carbon [one of those "Chrome" ones with Full XT] and he stopped at the traffic light. At first I was suspicious of the guy [not looking anything like a cyclist] in full winter attire on a quite expensive bike. I think there were 2/3 of the same model stolen in Pretoria East this year alone. Just before I wanted to say "Wow dude, nice bike. Where'd you buy it" he pulled off one of the best track-stands I've seen in a while. Something that you would see at the USN races in the track-stand competitions. I was like :"This guy is the real deal, swallowed my tongue and drove away." haha
  6. Hi Guys, 4 Guys almost mugged me in Achillies street [Olympus AH, PTA] at 17:15. I came riding up the road and the 4 guys spread out blocking the road as they approached me. I though something was off so I made a U turn, just as I turned to see they came sprinting toward me. Just managed to get away. Here is map link: http://i.imgur.com/OMwDtwc.jpg?1 Keep safe boys and girls
  7. We were there last year and will definitely be going back
  8. Did you recently change your supplements? I changed from Cadence Classic energy to Pure Blast and its awesome but the pure doesnt have Soduim as part of the stuff inside so I start cramping on it just after 40km on the last 3 races. Did the Full Marathon at Hakahana on Cadence again and no cramps Those "Cramp Block" tablets are awesome for preloading a race but during a race when you cramp, nothing works like a Rennie
  9. Gonna be a tough cookie, not looking forward to the Bridge on the 75....
  10. True, but even the overall prizes only seem to be bragging rights... I guess it comes down to guys who do it for a living, and there is no way to make a living off these races...
