I did the Bike 4 Beasts Race there last year, it's quite a nice place to ride, but some of the roads can be very sandy - a bit like riding on Durban beach

Brakes are for sissies , besides they just slow you down

Great, just go easy on me

Is anyone riding today ?? .or do I have to go to gym

Welcome back might see you Wed or Thurs, depends if I can get my bike clean

Where were you riding ? That wasn't a mud bath - that was Damp Wait until you see muddy

Thanks atraut I suspected something like that, just needed confirmation. Now I just need to see what I can do about my rim.

I'm riding Mavic Tubeless rims and have been using Sludge sealant in the tyres. I've been having problems with air leaking out around the valve and discovered that the valve hole has become corroded and is bigger than it should be. As a result the valve is not seating correctly. Two questions - I've heard that this corrosion can be caused by a reaction between the rims and the sealant. Is this correct and is it specific to all sealants or just sludge ? Can I get my rim repaired or is there another solution ?

Group J, up from M last year. Aiming for sub 3:00, so hope the beer tent opens early.

Very Nice Good choice in frame , you not that blonde afterall. Don't know about a Niner being a girl though I must say I thought it would be pink

Is this now the new Feng Shui for cycling, don't you have to face east or something to pick up the good energy !!

"2 or 3hr bike ride" !!! - Hell I know a guy that did Sani2c and didn't know how to fix a puncture. When he got one on day 2, he got assisted by a couple that were walking along the track waiting for medical attention, because the lady in the team had broken her collarbone. Turns out he's scared to take off the back wheel because he doesn't know how to get it back in with the derailleur, chain etc.

Hell I've done that, it's an easy mistake to make when you've got 2 bikes with different wheels. I did a race on the Saturday and had 2 punctures. On Sunday I was doing another race and as I rushed out the house on Sunday morning realised I needed a spare tube. Needless to say I reached into my tube drawer and grabbed one. The wrong one as I found out later, after my 3rd puncture that weekend.

No ... I meant Panjo

... everyone is forgetting the Tiger !!

Ok, who's stealing the Team Names - I had the same problem ..... still trying

Nothing like last year, we got in in the first 10. This year I'm still trying, ..... almost 1½ now !!!
