    All part of game, as mentioned he's just stirring.
  8. I doubt when the orgs plan a race they look to see how many bottlenecks areas they can introduce nor are they aware of what amount of riders will create this balanced against trying to get as many riders to make it more profitable. Sure it will be nice if every MTB race has completely separate routes for long/med/short distances but they are also limited to where they can make tracks as a lot of times the route goes through pvt land plus there's extra cost and manpower required for things such as WP for each separate route. Better seeding is remains the main answer, give track to faster riders when convenient for you, if you have to dismount keep clear of riders behind you, don't get abusive if someone interrupts your race by falling instead ask if they OK (99% of the time they grin and say yup) and don't push to the front and stand next to Burry Stander types, only to be eating their dust 1km into the race.
  9. If i completed an Epic i would also want to keep my sticker. Most Epic bikes iv'e seen the sticker is on the top tube so its not really exposed as bragging rights. Number boards is different but some riders just leave them on rather than waste cable ties by removing them all the time
  10. I got 33km for the shorter route, one of the flattest MTB races iv'e done with only the 1 climb, non technical so those looking for something more challenging would be disappointed. Route markings were easy enough to follow and plenty of space to overtake which was nice as i started right at the back and had to work my way up. Pizza and beer after the race finished off a good morning.
  11. See they've halted work on his Sandton mansion, people are wary of him so his regular kickbacks have dried up. No wonder he's try so hard to get his job back.
  12. I find people that demand track annoying. Odd but the louder they shout the slower i get, i can go very sloowwwww.
  13. Posted last week https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/115196-new-trails-in-the-east/page__fromsearch__1
  14. Few years back 2 guys from Kenya riding 26" Trek 4500 HT's Deore specced, V brakes and RS Judy fork got top 10 Epic GC position.
  15. Tough life being spoiled for choice.
