Huh!! Clarens event in Dullstroom?? Am I missing something?

UCI will appeal CSA's decision...it will be overturned....we (CSA) will be the laughing stock!!!

So we had a few nincompoops as members of the Disciplinary Commission!!

Is there one opening in Tyger Valley in December2015?

I am soo happy you got your Tall Boy back, cause I was afraid people down here in the Cape might think I have yours!!! :eek: hehehe... :clap:

I also attended last night's presentation by Dr Jeroen Swart on Optimal Nutrition (Pre-, Intra-, and Post Race). I found it very insightful and interesting. He is a class act and very knowledgable professional. Thanks CrimsonWolf for advising us on TheHubSA of this talk and presentation. I am glad I scrutinised TheHub yesterday and by accident saw your posting advising us of last night's talk. Seeing that's it in my back yard, I attended. I feel I now have a much better idea of what type of carbs my body requires and when!! According to him (scientifically proven) the optimal nutrition of carbohydrate consumption during a race consist of 2:1 Maltodextrin to Fructose at a rate of nothing less than 80-100grams per hour (I think I got this right) . Only 4 products in SA have that combination, being PowerBar, GU, High 5 and Cadence. Thanks, Gerhard Cruywagen

As I said on Twitter....So glad that I am not a PRO road or MTB cyclist in SA. But, even happier that I do not pay any more fees to CyclingSA....bunch of Clowns!! I feel for youngsters showing what's in them and they do not even get selected....i.e. James Reid.

the same scam as the Bronson also on OLX.....this time the owner is in Swellendam and also moving to US.....same type of letter!!! http://www.thehubsa....ge__hl__bronson

That Tallboy with Full XT and Fox CTD Kashima is more in the region of R40,000.

Black DeFeet Aireator, no doubt about it!! Like Assos, expensive....but AWESOME!

Guys and girls.....a tip!! I did my 1st Epic last year. Due to the noise, lights, heat, adrenaline I battled to sleep the first 2 nights in Citrusdal!!! I got sleeping pills from a friend and used it!! Slept like a baby! Luckily, it worked for me without any side effects. What I suggest is....go to doctor get sleeping pills (nothing that's illegal), test the pills prior to Epic to ensure no side effects. I really thought it wasn't necessary to take or get any, but I was wrong. I have done many Sani2C's, Cape Pioneer Trek, etc stage races.....Epic is just different!! I battled to fall asleep those 2 nights without the sleeping pills and slept poorly! Oh, yes, I (and my partner) did finish! Have a good Epic!! Good luck!

YES! (nice 1st post....rookie!)

Ditto!!!

Were they the guys with a radio on board, playing music??

My 1st Atta.... Compared to you, I started off too fast and paid for it the last 53km.....from after the Spur Burger stop!!! But, I finished and am happy with my 7h49m. It was great....tuff, BUT GREAT and indeed EXTREME!!!!

So frieken bly om dit te sien....nou voel ek effens beter!!

Do you guys think that the road works on Chappies will be completed come Argus?
