Does anyone know what MTB trails are available in the Cathedral Peak area of the Drakensberg? I know there is about 15km of trails near the hotel but I am looking for longer trails. Maybe into the neibouring villiage areas? Maybe along the contour paths to Drakensburg Sun? Is there a way across to the Northern berg to Chris' AOA trails? The ideal would be to files that I could load onto my Garmin.

I have 2 entries available. Will PM you

Don't under estimate Stage 7 Rabavu to Kigali is a long hard day in the saddle.

Hane a look at this stream. http://www.thehubsa....y-graeme-murry/ Could also go to your Local Bike Shop (LBS) for advise. There are lots of options available.

I have both at the moment. My rollers are simply mining conveyor rollers with a size 24 tube making them roll together. There is more than enough resistance to give me a decent workout. 45 minutes on the rollers is like an hour 15 on the A frame. I have also fallen off a number of times, but hay that is part of the fun. Just make sure the prize vase is not near

I have read this thread, and for Looks, the stom seems to get 10/10. There are however only a handfull of guys who have ridden one. Most importantly, no one has compared it to other 29er hard tails. I am specifically interested in the Ghost HTX 29 Actium 9500. Although this is an Aluminium frame, it seems to have all the specs of a champ. Any comments

The size is the main thing. I would not take the GT because of the size. There should however be a XT specked bike available in a small.

I tried the Marathon Fuel recently and it is great. It should work well for the 24 hour. It has 14.3g of protein per serving. This will be needed for such a long ride. Let us know how it goes. .. Available from www.ballisticbiketrading.co.za R265 x VAT or so.

Could convince your brother to drive you to Pietermaritzburg for the MTB XC/DH World Cup - 17th and 18th March, or do the Northerns Quicky in Jhb on the 18th. PM if you want more details.

Silverback gets my vote. ..... but rather go for their MTB version

It is this weekend. 28th if i remember correctly I

You can also try Afrika Tikkun. Email Marie Ndlovu [admindev@afrikatikkun.org.za] They organised a great event for the 94.7. Doing it again for the Argus. Great organisation. Also have a cycling academy!

Will not be doing it this year FYI, for the best weather predictions for Sabie, go to www. yr.no. Crazy, but the Norwegians have got it right!

I am looking at doing the ride from Oudtshoorn to Cape Town at the end of the year. Has anyone has a route they would suggest? Looking to do about 150km per day.

Left overnight in the local Scout Hall. Who knows how it disappeared. Great machine!

Thanks all for the comments. I will look at the headset and the alignment and let you know.

Hi Hubbers As soon as I let go the handle bars on my Silverback Nabraska, the front wheel starts to swerve from side to side, so much so that I can never go free hand. I have replaced the front fork, but this has not helped. Any suggestions? OneMac

Hi Guys What are the dates of w2w? How do I book? OneMac

As a starter, go for middle ring in front and 16 at the rear. It is crazy, but a lot of fun. I hear the nationals at Rietvlei were a lot of fun too

Lets see what hubbers recommend
