Just received the race pack via Aramex

Have anyone received their race packs via Aramex as yet. Getting worried about it, not at the office tomorrow for the full day.

HI, They charged me R450. But after todays ride it is worth it. feels so much better

Hi EDF, Thanks for your reply. It was the "Full" setup....or supposed to be according to the Salesman.

Hey guys, I have a pair of Olympic MBT shoes, size 11 to give away to someone in need. Used but not in a bad condition. Let me know how to go about it. Andre

HI Guys, Just a quick rant, I don't know if I am opening a can of worms here but anyway. I recently Purchased a "Entry level" Mountain bike from a shop in Pretoria. One of the "Sales Points" was, for my 7K that I spend on the bike, the will do a "full" setup for me on the bike. I bought the bike and exactly 5 minutes was spent on setting up the bike according to my build etc. I have been cycling like this for a while and have had some discomfort, and as such I went to, cyclelab in centurion and paid them to do a setup. I could not believe all the changes that they had to make, according to my measurements to get the bike setup properly. The entire setup took about 45 minutes and immediately I felt a difference on my first ride. It would seem like some shops out there do not go through the same trouble for a 7K bike as they would for someone spending 20k on a bike, which I find rather appalling, as I am sure (I stand corrected) that the "cheaper" market is the cash cows for many of those shops. Further to that, I will not go back there when I upgrade my Bike next year, not will my friend whom bought the same bike on the same day with the same "Setup" I understand one can do the setup yourself, but a noob like me, needs to initially rely on the "expertise" of the people who knows. Rant Out Andre

Hey Uni, I got to Red barn Quite often. I love it there, as I have mentioned in another post there are egoistic cyclists there, other than that it's an awesome place. BTW their pizzas are the best in PTA! I know exactly what dirty sport you are referring to, I think the bad thing is that they do not have control of all that crap that washes down river, that said though, they could seriously get n few people to clean up their after a flood downstream. All in all very nice venue.

Hi Guys, Myself and a friend are noobs in the world of Mountain biking. Many years ago I did quite a bit of Road cycling though. Something struck me the other day when we were cycling at the Red Barn. A much faster guy came flying past me on a "technical" bit, without announcing his intention. This caused me to almost hit a tree. No Apology nothing! It would seem like the some of the Faster Guys (Not everyone - because allot of guys do announce their intentions) just don't seem to care about the slower ones. From a roadie point of view, I have learnt to hold my line if someone announces, and I am also one of those guys that will move into the rough to let the quicker guys past if possible, so it is not a matter of me doing the wrong thing, I think there are a few guys that think they are bigger than the sport and lacks etiquette. Just my 2c worth. Keep peddaling :-0

Thanks Everyone. Ended up going to Giba on Saturday. For an Unfit dik oke like me, it was hell. But finished the Purple and green route. Sunday I just went for a 16Km cycle around the Umhlanga area. Thanks so much

Hi Guys, I am visiting in Umhlanga now and was wondering if there are a route somewhere I can do after work. I will be going to Giba on Saturday, but need someplace the go during the week after work. Would appreciate your assistance Andre
