Are gravel bikes allowed for the Ultra ?

Try ride the Bitcoin market price curve for the last 10-years.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that.

I can't find my finisher's photos on Sportograf.com, you know the ones taken on stage and the ones with the white background lighting setup. Any advice on where one would find these ?

Congrats Jacques and Marietjie, let me know if either of you need a riding partner

Check out the site : http://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com perhaps this will help you too. My weapon of choice for carving up the track are Schwalbe Thunder Burts all round, they are super fast and exceptionally grippy. Another excellent tyre on the front (and on the reart is the Hutchinson Python Gold. Super Grippy but hard to get hold of locally. Your best bet is chain-reaction cycles for this. The Hutchinsons are significantly heavier than the Schwalbe's though. In my opinion the Thunderburts all round give you the best compromise between speed and grip. It's way grippier than it looks, you'll most likely run out of confidence before the tyre runs out of Grip...

They are borth good bikes to start with, but Specialized allowed you to demo the bike for a weekend. Giant only allowed you to ride in the parking lot. Wonder why the Giant is cheaper ? Because they don't invest in any demo bikes. Support the brand that allows you to test their bikes properly...

They have released the dates on their Facebook Profile, but not yet on the website. Seems like Ashburton is still the main sponsor for 2016...
