That guy was lucky, big time. Had he been 2 to 3 seconds later that car may well have gone over him. Just goes to show that falling can happen on a fairly straight forward piece of sidewalk.

Hell Jaco I am shocked. I also did the Crater cruise in Parys. Wishing you well and hope you make a speedy recovery. I have just spent the last 45 minutes reading through this thread from start to finish. This sounds like riding in a war zone. Ridiculous. If any of these big group rides are planned for weekends to try and weed out this rubbish we will join in to help. From Midrand but will gladly come with to help.

Just checked now and not there yet. Let's give them a day or so. Just out of interest sake the reason I sent them the email was because I could not get the photos to open when I entered my details. They replied if one is trying to get photos for Curro college, Pioneer run and one of the Dual X events that won't work because those photos weren't allocated to race numbers etc.

They were apparently going to be posted on the Jumpertrax site by today. I sent jumpertrax an email regarding this yesterday afternoon and they replied at 01h00 this morning. Not the first time they have replied at that sort of hour. Not so sure these guys ever sleep.

Go check on Jumpertrax website. Or Go to the SAS Seeding website. Results were there yesterday.

My first crater cruise. That's the bumpiest race I have ever done. Forearms got a proper workout there. I will be back for the next one. I ordered those MTN socks and got hot foot with 15 km's to go. It started off with my right foot but by the time I finished it was in both feet. This seems to happen with thicker socks. Doesn't happen with thinner socks. Had the same thing with the Cullinan Trailseeker. Also wore thicker socks there. No more. Is it my shoes?

Got my race goodies via Aramex this morning. MTN water bottle, MTN lipice and some coffee sachets. I think we are going to cook in the sun there this weekend. Certainly a hell of a lot warmer than it was 2 weeks ago at the trailseeker 3.

Thanks

I have made use of the Aramex service for this race. How does this work now? Will they deliver the envelope with the batch no and race sticker. Now I also ordered the socks and cycling shirt when I entered. Will this come with the Aramex service or do I need to collect this?

Well I am in for this. Should be fun.

Well heading down on friday. Booked into Accommodation for the weekend. Lets go see what Parys has to offer.

Mmmmm yes not cheap. Same problem i found when looking around.

No particular reason I personally just find Modderfontein a nice venue to ride at. I prefer it to Northern Farms. Well marked etc.

I would go to Modderfontein.

Anthem hands down.

Are there GPS co-ordinates for the venue? Thanks

I can't see it being to hot. Probably just dry and dusty. The weather for the Tarialseeker 3 this past weekend was perfect. Had it been a day earlier, Friday, I think I would have still been riding now with that wind.

Entered for the half marathon.

Yip I use to ride to school, BMX, Raleigh Burner. It was all up hill going to school and all down hill from school to home.

Hell now there's a blast from the past.

Cycletech in Kyalami.

Yes that is something that started 2 odd months back. I have an Amex card with work as part of my salary so i use to spend my fair share at Cyclelab in Fourways. So since they stopped Accepting them i have stopped shopping there. Their actions backfired with me because now i hardly go there where as i often use to spend my cash there monthly.

Go to Sportsmans Warehouse they will do bike carriers and accept Amex cards.

Yes it was a great ride last night. Long wait for the next one. Well organized races. Big thumbs up KIA.

I went from a 3x10 to a 2x10. I was sceptical before the purchase but once ridden i would not go back. That 2x10 just works for trail riding. There seems to be less clutter as far as gears go.
