Ah thanks Amoryn, i knew Wesranders were good at something. Thug looking at previuos CC's the roadies have been in the mix beating many seasoned MTB'ers in this race. Will be interesting to see how many of the Elite's ride Sat and how this will affect them for Sundays Vodacom ride.

Robbie's OK with a Kettie. he come's from the West rand . In the main race i think he has a very good chance

These are nicer

Dont have a route map/profile , but i did part of the race thru Suikerbosrand this weekend after our club ride. As DT and BigBen mention the return to the finnish will be the worst after riding the reserve as its steady uphill.

I'm with Marius. Only Specialized people can view.

Nice pic Man with no name

I like the Pro gloves. Worst pair of gloves i found were the Ryder ones, bought 2 pairs and both fell to pieces in less than 3 months.

I go with professional staff and after sales, dont care what the shop looks like. Anyone been to Mean Machine cycle shop will know what i'm refering to.

Thanks BigBen

Remember your bike next week DR. Seriously i prefer sitting but do alternate a bit. I only learnt to stand and cycle comfortably when i started spinning classes.

Standing or sitting ?? Whats wrong with walking

Daemon Kyalami opening time Mon - Thurs 5pm, R10 entrance but Wed free until 94.7.

Stunning bike Marius, Merida is very much and underated bike despite having many world cup results in their collection. Good value for money their local service network and guarantee is also very good.

Take it easy the 1st half, as this is where plenty overdo it and blow up the second half. There are enough water points so hydration should not be a problem.

Hope they dont forget to open the gates this time, dont want a repeat of last year.

When one approaches a drop off, you must ask yourself, will it be faster to walk it, or to attempt it then pick yourself up and after you have wiped out and got going again.

I would go with your theory DR. On lapped courses i usually walk (did this on the drop off before the tunnel at N/F 1st time) then ride the drop off 2nd time.

I am also doing the Vodacom. Did the Crater cruise a few months back minus the crowds.

Everyone knows a true Mountain Biker is not clean.

None of these posts come near to what his motive is/was for his actions. Carte Blanche managed to video secretly 2 dealers dispensing advice and prohibited substances, but Chunky was only video'd offering advice and Bull S%^&T mixed with bravado.

Yup i'm also puzzled. He's done everything to raise suspicion and provoke an investigation.

Zues, Midrand (organizers of 94.7) have a strong club http://www.mccycle.co.za/

I wish i could train in the morning but i have a problem with my eyes. I cant see myself having the energy to ride.

BigBen would like to have but its our club hill climb champs in Suikerbosrand.
