Adriaan van Wyk pedaling with only one leg.. 20km to go!!

 

This guy is as tough as nails. Hats of my friend.

[Request on "Facebook". Help to get bike Back from MOZ.]

Bud,

 

Same thing happened to me. Dont even bother going to the SAPS as they will not assist you in any way.

 

Hope you get your bike back. Mine is still roaming around there.

Please share your .gpx track you have routed om Garmin... 

Hi, I mapped the route last night on Garmin, and according to that the Rooiberg waterpoint is at +-242km (CP 3 still at 280), so you may just relook your expectations for that stage which is actually 38k's and not 28. Maybe someone who has done before can check.

Evobikes might have this in stock soon

 

Waiting for these pliers to arrive from US, liked the idea of being able to store spare links in the handle

I'll be there agan next year. Last one I did was a bad experience. Two days after the race i was diagnosed with "pampoentjies".

 

I will not recommend anybody to try doing it if you are not 100% healthy.

[Post Office International parcels - Go slow??]

I am also waiting for a parcel from the UK. Was supposed to be here already but no trace of it other than it left the UK on the 1st of November.

will be there...

[The 2017 Absa Cape Epic route: from whales to trails]

If only it was more affordable.....

[The official Riding with Kids thread]

Definitely worth it. Still use mine with the four year old laaitie (and his little sister). Don't tell his mom/judge my reckless parenting, but I often take him down g-spot here in Stellies... He really enjoys it, shouting "whooohooo, this is FUN!" die hele pad af. He quickly learnt to "HOU VAS!"

 

My little girl (2) is starting to enjoy it too. I found that on the first rides, when she was about 20 months, she struggled to hold the handlebar properly. But you simply adjust what you attempt to ride to what the kid can safely handle.

Thanks Patensie,

 

will go past Sportmans Warehouse today.

 

No judgement from my side   :-)

[The official Riding with Kids thread]

I used one of these . . .  Similar concept to the one Brandon78 advised.  

Work wonders on my carbon bike. Can not really scratch the bike. 

Put on and take off very quickly or switch between bikes.

Works good on my carbon full suspension.

Think it was R550 at Sportmans Warehouse. 

My kid rode on it from 12months till 2years.

 

 

 

I looked at one of these over the weekend.

 

Also have a carbon frame. It looked a bit flimsy.

 

Is it worth getting one?

[The official Riding with Kids thread]

Here is what she did:

Will this work on a carbon frame bike?

[[Event] Subaru Trail Hunter #4 Presented By Woodlands Boulevard]

Can one ride that route on your own or is it going through private property?

[Klapperkop & Groenkloof Safety Update]

Well done, lets hope we will be able to enjoy the routes in peace real soon.

[[Event] FNB Magalies Monster MTB Classic]

The graspolle was not fun at all... Will only considering  doing it again on a dual suspension. Really did not enjoy the last section where the route join up with the 30km. Cant pass them because of the back markers coming head on. Nearly took out a lady around a corner.

[Nominate and win with Contego Segment Hunter and Cadence Nutrition]

where can you get hold of the kit he is wearing???

[Trail Daze: Jonkershoek rising from the ashes]

I'd recommend staying off the black. Red Phoenix should be fine with a hardtail unless your name is Norman NoSkills... Apparently it's like Fire Hut was, but steeper and faster. Fire Hut was a VERY flowy trail... Absolutely sublime though. 

 

I wouldn't go near the Black trail on a hardtail unless you had tons of skill. Even then, probably not advisable. 

Thanks Myles

[Trail Daze: Jonkershoek rising from the ashes]

How much of these will be do able with a hardtail......

[Show me your Specialized]

[Two more Specialized Elite shops open in SA]

Hope they will provide better service that some of the already existing concept and elite Stores. 

[The Trail Running Thread]

Any of you guys ever been down at Giba Gorge? Will be down there the next two weeks for work and will not be able to take the mtb with. Hope they will allow you to run the trails.

[The Trail Running Thread]

Why a Salomon hydration pack? Plenty of other suitable packs in the market such as Ultraspire and Osprey. I'm actually going to get myself the Osprey Rev 12 which can also double as hydration pack for MTBing.

 

 

Had a lovely couple of trail runs in Sabie over New Year and came across Dennis Lawrie setting up the route for the SA Trail champs at the end of the month.

I used my brothers Salomon hydration pack and it fits perfectly. 

[The Trail Running Thread]

Hi there,

 

i secured my Otter entry for 2015 and was looking at hydration packs. Any body that want to get rid of their Salamon 12l Slab hydration pack??
