I've been told the only way to renew my Wild Card is to give them my credit card details over the phone. Yeah, right - I'll be doing that... The Westlake office isn't open on Saturdays last time I checked and there's no way I can get there I during the week. So I just carry on using my old card...

You can get a bunch of trail maps nicely marked here: http://irideafrica.com/trail-maps/

Looking forward to seeing the progress of your project!

Brilliant!

It was! Mortirolo Pass: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortirolo_Pass http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5208/5300016448_9e7b36da85.jpg And this was done on a mountain bike.

Craft Bike Transalp 2010: I can't comment on whether or not it's the toughest MTB race in the world. Most participants (foreigners) last year who'd ridden the ABSA Cape Epic said the Epic was tougher. Anyway, this was stage 5: http://connect.garmi...tivity/42043155 Livigno, Italy -> Ponte di Legno, Italy Distance: 106.02 km Elevation Gain: 3,156 m Elevation Loss: 3,771 m Min Elevation: 652 m Max Elevation: 2,305 m Bare in mind this was after having ridden the previous 4 stages of ~200km's or so, each with with ~2,000m of elevation. And being in the Alps, you're well above sea-level so the altitude is a bitch for someone living at sea level. To put that elevation into perspective, the Argus is ~1,100m of elevation stretched over 110km's.

david16v can ride up singletrack. Backwards! Be warned...

That is a seriously terrible name for a company. The spam isn't great either...

Thanks! Awesome photos - the trailer is pretty sweet too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMUfvNqKQdw

All the info is here: http://www.guerilla.co.za/dirtopia/amarider-100-miler/100-miler-route-info Route & profile look pretty much the same as last year. Should be good.

Stunning bike. Hope it gets returned to the rightful owner.

It annoys me too. But it also motivates me to drop the lazy buggers ass!

Flipping moron(s) man. I'm glad (for your sake) that you didn't seriously (permanently) injure anyone today. As if there isn't enough to deal with already!

That's rad - thanks!

That it's OK and most probably better to have your Shimano SPD's tension looser rather than tighter if you're using clipless pedals for the first time ever.

Hopefully everyone remembers this come the race next year. Do some talking with your wallets.

Hi Nicolene Any update on the route this year or will it be the same as last years? Thanks!

Whoops.
