  1. Isnt the point of mech hanger to be a ‘fail point’? You know…so you don't bend your frame or expensive derailleur instead? What am i missing? Did i read soos my hol? 😅
  2. Route announcement nice!
  3. What are you on about? I was there today and it was pretty busy. Also had a friend with a food truck and they sold out just as nino and co came in. Maybe the cams didnt capture it, but it was hot and most people were under the beer tents lol. there are also two restaurants on site at meerendal. the vibe was leka for what it is.
  4. You are interpreting it wrong, master as in master yoda, master of your skill, master of the universe, cyclist lvl 9000!🤣
  5. Will you be tackled riding through the main gates on bicycle? I mean the ones at the road. I know you’ll get tackled at meerendal any oter day of the week trying to reach bossa on a bike. Want to go say hi to a friend who is catering after im finished at conties maybe. Ill look alien though…baggies, loose shirt…real suspension and tyres haha. was anyone there today?
  6. Swear that single track is actually easier(flatter) going up than the fire road because it’s not that fast going down. That road though….sucks.
  7. Yea they are trying to get everyone to a level where they can actually DO a full day at jonkers. Surely thats the plan haha
  8. Im taking this as gospel. 🤣 plumber will determine if i do lite vs full for sure.
  9. aren't you the one who chose a road event over the first enduro round haha? We’ve had two in a row now where ‘sideways sprinting’ was a thing 😅. The organisers seem fine with it so far. Hoping jonkers is a ‘conventional’ one too. But in the end…it will be what it is and it will be the same for everybody.
  10. I mean there are so many variations there, guessing would almost be pointless. They could even mix trails going by the recent love of flat sprinty bits halfway through a stage. Contour start, do like a level, spint sideways to the start of another. Dont get me wrong, I certainly hope not, but it’s 100% possible to do it.
  11. So Round 2 venue is out: Jonkershoek - 23 April Now we just wait for the @Warren Melissa Go Riding route video😅.
  12. Free early prediction for 2024… 30* and unfortunately windy. Sorry🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤣
  13. Medical personnel along the route endured a strenuous day as they attended to an estimated 220 cases, 19 of which were referred to the hospital for follow-up treatment.…
  14. Nope. I call it how it is and stomp away. i don’t care who’s toes are in the way. I don't regret anything i ever post on here. And I am genuinely disgusted by just the general disregard for fellow riders - for the sake of a fast time in the fun ride world champs. Abd then when you ask an involved party if they are not going to stop for a crash they had a role in..you get told to “f@ck off”
  15. Its not just you. Im here to call out every person who have said in the past the riding etiquette sucks in 4 down. I found myself in the upper 1’s and 2’s today for the first time and i was shocked at how bad the riding was. I witnessed 4!!!! brutal crashes around me…people in puddles if their own blood, two idiots came together at 50kph+ too after suikerbos. And not in one of those instances did the involved parties who didn't fall stop to help. Did you get thst sub 3:30? You twats. What f@&$cking boxes. Is it because they all think they are the next Armstrong? Why are people such a$$holes? At misty cliffs i also just decided ill sacrifice trying to go fast in the group and just ride on my own on the left. EVEN then the od poephol will come and pass you on the left. If this is how it goes in the upper groups i wont be riding here again.
  16. Ill take early donations for next years prediction. Psychic’ing is hard work…especially in CT re weather things. 😝
  17. Ek oorweeg dit om laf te wees en die beast vir n spin te vat. Sal more oggend besluit hoeveel pyn sal aanvaarbaar wees vir 109km 🤣
  18. More ry ek niks… 😅
  19. Yesterday we got a bag of simba chilli cheese curls. Id prefer the lentils and rice to be honest 🤣
  20. 21* sunny ~ no wind (relatively) Thank me Monday.😅
  21. Theres the top 10. shout out to mr @Lyne Componentsin p3, and a mr Morewood-Pyga loitering around the top as well! also, spent a while riding and chatting with Cole. Nice to meet you. He soon after dropped me like a bag of potato's after the liaison to stage 2🤣 also nice to catch up with Mrs Nixon again. Proper aunty shredder.
  22. And 11kg 100mm bikes lol i followed a guy down stage 4, he was on a hardtail. He destroyed me on the pedally bits , and not from a lack of trying from my side. Probably tried too hard to catch up and tgats why I fell haha. This was not an event friendly towards 160mm Amish bikes. hell, my cruiseliner couldnt even make it around some the switchbacks on the way UP to pinecone. Its just too long and has the turning circle of a interlink truck. Like I said already, i swear i would have gone faster on my old rigid mtb. Nothing there needed suspension. It was a hindrance . The ebikes for the most part made up for the the bits that went uphill mid stage. An extra 600W helps when gravity doesnt.
  23. Biltong… 😅
  24. 5. Skydive, pipeline, pinecone, superbowl, stiflers mom. You should check. A rigid hardtail or ebike was the bike to have on these lol. Especially stage 4. Soooo pedally. Stage 1 was also the proof. Not quite steep enough to build speed on these squishy things. As soon as jou have to get up and pedal on an enduro bike, you are going too slow. But some of these sendy kids are fast hey, pretty sure they’ll beat even the pro’s DOWN a trail, like they proved at jonkers against johan van zyl. But that was more of a feat for him holding his own there against 160mm bikes on a xc bike.
