  1. I also don't remember any river crossings. I always find this event to be great fun and rather tough!!
  2. I feel your pain!! I ride about 6 to 8hrs per week. In the last years I only had about a 5% increase. I know I can't expect anything better with the amount of training I do but it is also a very good indication that I am an extremely mediocre cyclist at best. Does not bother me much. Still enjoy it plenty
  3. or Robyn just broke her? She rode really strong for somebody with an illness or injury up until the last day. I think the heat and intensity just got the better of her. It was a pity! Would have loved to see how they would have performed in the end
  4. Jeez! Blatantly missed it here! I was only thinking easier climbing. My bad! Blame it on a long evening out. Now i want 1 toooooo
  5. Agreed! If you need a 50T on the back you probably should sell your bike......... It does look hot though. The pros will only ride it because they are told too. There is no way they need a 50T
  6. Going from 2 x 10 to 1 x 11 made plenty sense to me as the fd was mostly a issue in muddy conditions. 1 x 11 has all the gears I need so honestly don't know what the benefit of 1 x 12would be? Never felt I needed any more gears than what is available on the 1 x 11
  7. Yawn!! Who was he again????????????????
  8. How many of the teams do you guys think pay their entry TOTALLY out of own pocket? I mean personal funds and not begging for corporate contributions. Paying through a company you own and writing it off to tax does not count as "out of own pocket" here
  9. He makes those exercises look much easier than they really are!!!!!!!!!!
  10. Yip! Platt says he is doing 2 more! He wants to pull a Lance on the Epic. Well a Lance with a happier ending..
  11. Hence my statement! Stop mocking around and see what people really will pay for this. Good social experiment
  12. It is like the Cape Town restaurants giving tourists a different menu with much higher prices. Shocking!!
  13. Your local spur hands it out with a sausy burger on special night
  14. What's that? 20% increase in this year's entry fee? They should stop fooling around and just pop it to R80 000
  15. Happy for these guys! They raced hard, had a few mechanicals and still managed to come in in great positions. Well done!!!
  16. I am more a mtb'er than a roadie and I wish I was climber
  17. I'll go for Dolomite superbike to take this 1
  18. Jenny rode extremely strong today for somebody having a injury or being ill. Did she get heat stroke? They did so well up to now. This is sad news.
  19. Interesting! I thought you can't run a XT 11sp chain on the sram system because of shifting issues?
  20. Ariane very emotional on the podium today. Happy for them!!
  21. Interesting! X1 and not top end (not even 2nd from top). Says plenty to the amateurs out there wondering what groupsets to buy
  22. They should be the 3rd group to start. No point in waiting for the group behind them because they are to slow and they probably won't catch the 2nd group
