    Is the Toyota guy there because his Fortuner rolled over, or did the accelerator pedal in his Camry/ Corolla get stuck causing him to crash?

    You are looking at the 458. This is the new 488GTB. 3.9l twin-turbo V8. According to TopGear, Ferrari claims it is 2 seconds a lap faster around Fiorano than the Enzo.

    and the road markings are opposite in colour. But that scenery is very cape like. Shows you how beautiful the cape is.

    because it is also a right turn? Always find it easier, and have a lot more confidence, in a tight left turn.

    Haven't tried them, but the 2FO are R1700 at the Spez Concept stores.

    Thanks, that was my concern. Flats it is then.

    I am also looking at going the flat pedal route, and was wondering the exact same thing. I was thinking of getting the Funn Mamba One Sided Clipless pedals, and the 5.10s or Spez 2Flo clips, with the idea of being clipped in when I want to be, then flipping the pedal around to the flats when needed on technical sections. But, I am also concerned the cleat will lower the grip levels, and that it might just be better to get proper flats.

    Landys don't leak oil....... they're just marking their territory.

    Man has got skills (and big balls). But I think it's 95% the bike. Somebody buy me a Bronson and I will prove it

    Feel the same way. It was also my first race and I was also hoping to get a great pic, but was quite disappointed. Also agree that they could have taken the photos at more interesting places, and perhaps later in the race when the the field is more spread out and easier to take individual shots?

    I was in the same boat a few months back, and went for the Giant Talon 1. Very happy so far.

    Only bought mine last week and only used once, but so far very happy with it.

    But they say a k@k beer is like making love in a canoe - it's f*&%ing close to water.

    Thanks Cassie. Overall, the marshals were great and motivated us along. I'm sure if they said there were still 10 more long climbs and 25km to go, some riders might have pulled out.

    This was my first MTB race (the 50km) after only having my bike for 2 months, and I learnt a few things on Saturday: 50km is a lot farther than I thought - there is no shame in pushing up some of the hills (I only pushed up twice) - when your legs are like jelly, remember to unclip both pedals to avoid falling over at a waterpoint - when the marshals say this is the last climb, they are f*&$ing lying - when the marshal says there is only 10km left, they are f@$#ing lying - I have to train a lot more before my next race. But most of all I learnt that I love my bike and I love riding. I really enjoyed the event and look forward to a lot more.
