Hey all Wildtrail and Hadianga Farm in Olympus, PTA hosts a social and time trial run every wednesday at 6pm at the farm, entry is R5. I'm keen to give it a bash tonight, have some new shoes to try. So who's joining ? WW.
Looked at the carb content of a serving the other day and it was really low IMO, like 12g. Do you guys eat stuff with the Game or use gels etc ? Doesn't seem like one would get sufficient energy from Game alone, unless you drink tons of it ?
My uncle recently cracked his Scott Scale RC 26" frame and they had no issues replacing it and it was done very quickly at that, even through a non-scott dealer where he bought it as well. So my vote would go to Scott. I had enless issues getting a replacement frame of my GT Zaskar so aftersales is NB to me. Otherwise you might as well buy 2nd hand or online....
I was at Groenies on Saturday should have joined. Lekker deur die dinges ! Look forward to racing and checking the course next week. Vinny what cat do you race ? Oh and the little Twitter birdy also told me that a certain local XCO champ is racing, hopefully I can get an autograph this time...
Seems to be a mindset/mentality issue more than anything else. People will exhibit the same behaviour no matter what vehicle they use. Also seems people aren't sure how to react to cyclists on the road and misjudge how fast you can actually go. A little education on this during learners licenses could maybe help but doubt that would ever happen I try my best not to ride like an idiot or drive like one for that matter and I always have proper led lights on the bike if I ride on roads, even on the mtb. Find it funny how fellow cyclists and even the guy at the lbs chirp me about lights in the day time. The more you can do to be visible the better !
My old Nokia 5230 at Crystal Springs. Set up the shot with the phone on a rock on its pouch with the self timer. The view was a nice reward after all the climbing
Great initiative here guys ! Will do all of them if I can, bar maybe the 1st one, don't think I'm exactly ready for such intensity yet but we'll see hopefully training picks up a bit Will try bring some buddies to compete against, last provincial I did here there were only 3 men in the Elite class How are the entries looking ?
Can;t speak from experience as I'm on a 26" bike but I think the Maxxis Ardent with the EXO sidewall protection should offer the grip and protection you need. Paired it with an Ikon or Aspen on the back and you should be laughing mate
Problem with the marketing is the huge lead time that magazines need, around 3 months I think the artwork needs to be in before the actual ad is run in the mag. Also creates a pull effect from the customer, which is good for them but sucks when you can't get hold of it.
I am using Compressport R2 leg sleeves for running and recovery and I am very happy with their fit, performance and quality. Can't comment on any other brands as I haven't used them. I would recommend sleeves and not socks as leg and foot size do not always corelate.
