  1. Apparently finish has been changed back to the top. Riders then to return back to amphitheatre (not Taalmonument like last year)where chillzone and prize giving will take place.
  2. Two of my "seen them more than once" movies are 1.Amelie and 2 The Angel,The Bicycle and the Chinaman's Finger.
  3. Hemel en Aarde (Hermanus)
  4. Hi Albert Check out the Rhebokskloof discussion topic under this Routes and Trails topic. When you are out there also check out Welvanspas. Both in the Paarl/Wellington area.
  5. Rhebokskloof.
  6. Hi By chance I came upon the www.mtbroutes.co.za website. Is it a wellknown website and often used by Hubbers and others from the mtb fraternity? It seems quite comprehensive?...Are there also other sites like this?
  7. What are your sentiments about the availability of shower facilities at mtb trails? Is it a "must have" or a "nice to have"? Will the absence of such a facility prevent you from riding a trail?
  8. Van Rensburg MTN DNF yesterday??
  9. Who wins??
  10. Live today from 12h50 on SS!! I assume re Quintana's stage win that the bunch that had the fastest motorbike with red flag down the mountain would have been unduly advantaged? Would the motorbike drivers have been informed that they should go down at 52 km/h and were their speedometers calibrated?
  11. SS from 12h50 today!
  12. AND it is live on DSTV from 12h50!!!!
  13. Agreed,but where?...
  14. Hi All Having been promted from various sides on my experience in old school (1980/81)undercover racing by South Africans in Belgium and surrounds, I was wondering where and what to post.. Will there be interest in it,where does one post it (The Hub,Cycling mag(s) or whatever?). It is to a large extent a piece of our cycling history that the youngsters of today are not even aware of and will make for some interesting reading! It was the days when you looked back at your family tree to find any link to a far-off family member that could qualify you for a birth certificate/semi citizenship/visa to obtain an international license to race UCI sanctioned races.Where you had to hide after an event because you raced against the British world's (or was it Olympic?)team preparing in Belgium and beating all of them,trying to stay undercover for almost 2 years with British Cycling officialdom on your tail,training with Phil Anderson,staying in same lodging as Robert Millar,sharing flat with Rob Mcintosh,fighting with the late Alan van Heerden,meeting Eddy Merckx,being bribed to throw race(s) and and and.. Surely these memories can not just fall by the wayside?..
  15. It is interesting to check the Venter trailer website for pricing options.The SACS trailer seems to be a bit expensive... Thx for your inputs!Much appreciated!!
  16. Thx DJR! Will check it out! Any comments on the setup?
  17. I have checked the Thule website and they do not seem to have custom made racks for trailers?
  18. Live from 13h00 on SS today!!
  19. Hi I am going to be in the market soon to purchase a versatile bike trailer.I have an oldschool Vw Combi Microbus and can transport 6-8 cyclists(read MTB)in comfort ,but luggage and bikes become a problem. I have seen some nice custom made bikeracks on Venter type trailers (6 or 7foot?4wheel trailer?large trailer wheels?nose cone or not?) It would be nice to open the trailer lid to access baggage without too much of a problem.I also assume 6 MTB bikes max on a Venter type trailer is realistic? As MTB takes you offroad I assume the bigger wheel trailer is the way to go which makes a 4 wheel trailer unnecessary. Any idea of cost??.. Any advice will be appreciated!

    Greyton Tour 2014

    If you look at mtb-adventures.co.za website,the guys who bring you Houwhoek and Greyton Tours,you will see that they also have the Cape Country Tour end of June. Read riders' feedback on that Tour if you want to have the ultimate WOW experience. Johan Kriegler was also punting it at his briefing before the HHTour.
  21. Check footage of last 10km on steephill.tv.!!Highly impressive ride from Meintjies!!!
