  1. When I saw this jersey for sale online...I knew i wanted the watermelon socks bad!
  2. I'm assuming you are training for an event Or you lost a bet You asking for some pain here..... It depends on what sort of climbing you would like to do. The karkloof 60km outback trails route has 1600m climbing. The climbing is along district roads and forest service roads. You could then do one of the karkloof shorter trails afterwards to make up the distance (maybe another 500m climbing) But you will end up a bit short on the climbing. Other option is Howick, which is super for technical climbing (Howies, Nyaga Nyaga, The mother). You can also ride trails like dhula ngulube, pines extension and gums extension backwards. Good fun if you feeling fresh. Our trails are bidirectional. Otherwise the are many other non technical climbs, (six beer hill, porcupine way, yellow brick road, Vodacom Climb) Basically you will be doing an 85km long Enduro If you would like me to plan a route for you let me know, Happy to help
  3. My baking You so funny Grif. Ask Chainsaw why he is such a skraal oke. But okay....guess the colour right and invite the winner for a ride. I'll bake for a victim guest. Ill throw in a long sleeved club shirt.
  4. The new season's sticker is yellow. I voted for pink, but was outvoted.
  5. Go Gerald....!!!.....It is summer time...time for mud and tanline selfies
  6. I want to see all Evan's medals from all the events he has done. My hero
  7. You right.... up till eight am the forecast for rain is 50/50. After that it drops to 20% for the rest of the day, and then showers predicted for evening. 15 degrees for the day is comfortable riding temperature. The trails will be a bit wet, but this is mountainbiking. Are you coming?
  8. Hi everyone. Chainsaw and I are doing a 55km singletrack ride starting at the Greendale Spar tomorrow morning at 8.00am. We will be riding the singletrack through Howick trails to the Karkloof club for coffee and then back again. . Moderate pace. Climbing is around 900m, You are welcome to join us. Sorry for posting this ride so late, we were intending to road ride, but have changed our minds and want to mtb instead
  9. Happy Birthday Handsome! xxx Luv Blondie
  10. If I penciled my eyebrows and put lipstick on before a ride I would look like this after about thirty minutes.
  11. We will be having a 35km ride this Saturday Morning starting at 7.30 from the Fainting Goat at Greendale Spar. Anybody keen to learn the trails or join for fun is welcome. We will be doing the runs down bonga bonga, rush-a-lots and the gums and then pop over the currys post road and finish down Gregs. Climbing will be in the region of 900m. Trailfee is R40.00 and indemnitys can be signed at the Fainting Goat.
  12. It is awesome, but pasop if its wet, clay soil plus speed equals hugging trees. doing it as a night ride is also "interesting" .
  13. I have not done gums in a while. Now you have temped me. We did crank alley ,haibo, keytels, howies , bonga bonga dip all the way to the bottom of nyaga nyaga yesterday. The trails are so clean and the ground just sticky enough to grip the corners with the rocks nice and dry. Such good flow. The only bad part is when it is over and it is time to climb again .
  14. For sure. But generally I think miles logged are inversely proportional to daily hub post count
  15. Welcome. Most of us here are casual riders too so you are in good company.
  16. Stretch did you go to a Nyotaimori restaurant last night?
  17. Sure. but you are just chicken. I still need to get you back for pushing me into a puddle and then throwing my waterbottle in the bush
  18. Ag nee....you REALLY slow....... everyone knows who lexx is *FACEPALM*
  19. Ive given up on you. I have new, fast cycle buddies now.
  20. This is a long shot, but if there is any way the darkhorse wheels could be adapted to fit my track bike I will be deleriously happy. I raced kzn champs this year with the halo aero rage wheels and medaled a few times, but in a game where fractions of a second count some carbon tubbies would really make the difference. I would really like to do better next year. If having these wheels on my track bike are not an option, my road bike could do with some love too♥
  21. In the ten years Ive had Purdy (got her from the spca) she has scratched her way through my (correction....HER) entire house. The day granny kitty passes I will be very sad and then go buy the leather couch Ive been dreaming of to cheer myself up
  22. They have you well trained.
  23. This is my granny kitty Purdy. She has a hard life. As the sun moves she has to keep moving over and eventually by 11am she is usually hanging onto the last rays while balancing on the edge of the day bed.
