Did the guy that sold it to you know it was a fake or was he also duped. Not much you can do anyway seeing as the sellers emigrated.

I'd take 3 hours hard cycling any day over 3 hours hard soccer, rugby etc. Never been stretchered off with exhaustion from cycling but have from a rugby game, not injury but collapsed from exhaustion.

Cycling does not even feature http://uk.askmen.com/top_10/sports/top-10-hardest-sports_1.html

Toughest i found was playing soccer and rugby, sprint slow down, sprint slow down. There's a reason why its only 80 min.

You can also ride Emperors laps which is part of the Emperors MTB route. Group usually meet every Saturday 6:30 at Cyclelab K90 and head out for about 2 hours,

Did my 1st August on a Makro special,ended with both wheels wobbly, crank pedals bent, only able to select 1 ring up and brakes stuffed. Never again.

Mate of mine has a pair of seal skin gloves he got from overseas, warm as toast but breathable so your hands don't sweat.

Absolutely hate it

Dunno, what would you say about someone who has 3 MTB's and last did a road race 2 months back.

Go Theresa , not shabby for someone who has a full time day job.

In no particular order, slower riders in front, faster yelling for track behind, sandy bits, twisty bits, rut's, climbs, descents, mud, corrugated road, but my ultimate no no is if there's no beer at the end.

Its ok but lets see how he does with one of these

When i first started MTB i used to belong to these guys. http://www.jmbc.org.za/

If rolling through red lights is official cyclelab policy they need to speak to the Boksburg bunch, i did a ride with them last Saturday and we stopped at every red light.

Invest in a tandem

That's Santa Clause

Cyclelab currently have a sale on, not sure if helmets are included.

Meet BigH in person and you'll be surprised, while he might appear so he is not really grumpy and opinionated as some of his posts appear to be. Regards GoG i would like to have read his opinions on threads such as the OP one.

I looked for the obvious, did anyone have a saddlebag.

Its a MTB group, part of the route is on the Emperors course so more XC and lapped, do as much or little as you want, ride is +/- 2 hours.

Sat morning 6.30am in front of the shop, all welcome.
