Anyone know anything about this bike? Seems its the only full sus Bianchi. I currently ride a Merida 96 full sus and I'm quite happy with it, but have a thing for Bianchi and was wondering if it was worthwhile getting this bike and slowly upgrading this rather. Or keep the Merida full sus and get a Bianchi methanol hard tail as an alternative.... But never ridden a hard tail so not sure if I would enjoy it or even need it as I'm no pro on a MTB Any thoughts?

Well I did holla maroon today at 14 km/h.... If that helps. I also find that at times it would be faster to walk than ride at my pace at some hills.... Hehe Never did giba, but if I look at my avg on trails from holla, van gaalens and groenkloof I avg around 16km/h. Not sure if that will help...

Just ordered myself one! Got the red bundle Those links will help

Be grateful she is into cycling. I bought my wife all the gear and a bike which she rode a couple of times and then gave it up. Lost a couple of bob there... When we did ride, I basically just chilled and we had a nice day out. no hill attacks or sprints.... Just a fun ride. I'm not phased that she gave it up, it actually stressed me out on the road as I was also imaging the worst. She at least understands the sport and my commitment so is cool with weekend mornings being mine.

Only saw message now.... Rode this morning. Awesome ride. Think I will do red.on Tuesday

Price dropped.... Guess the bitching paid off? Let's hope it remains profitable and they don't close the track due to it "not being worth it"

I find I am a very slow starter. I can drop the guys I train with over long distances, but the first 30 minutes I feel like I'm holding on for dear life and pushing too hard. One day before a training ride, I arrived early and stretched for quite a while and got my heart rate up properly... That day and ever since then, I can start strong. I find I perform about 10 percent better with a proper warm up over the last months and don't fade as badly

Oh, apologies..... Either way, considering the opportunities to ride in a safe controlled environment after work, for me it's remains a bargain

I was paying R15 just before 94.7 so R5 is fair considering they moving it to main pit area and offer this opportunity during the week..... For cycling I will pay! It's the damn insurance I cringe over regarding increases!!

Hi guys , I'm doing Holla tomorrow 5:30 Maroon, can't wait. Heard so many good things about it so decided to pop the MTB on the trip down from JHB. my first time so if anyone is keen on joining a chilled ride, see you there

wtf.... Grow kolos?? damn IPAD! was meant to say Groenkloof

Hi guys, I lost my cat eye cadence and speed sensor at groenkloof if anybody finds it, I would appreciate it.

Hi guys, I'm down in East London next week and keen to take bike down, either MTB or road. Are these rides still on? I'm staying at blue lagoon.... Any nice rides in the vicinity?

So I get 23, you get 71 on your Garmin and my riding mate gets 42 ON HIM EDGE 500... WTF

whats a person sexual preference have to do with cycling? If they like cycling great.... good for them. Perhaps they can assist and bring some style to some of the mountain bikers out there..... JK JK JK

Anyone have an elevation figure for Kyalami? I use a cateye and have my Blackberry using endomondo to check route and elevation and it tell me that after 10 laps my eleavation equals 236 metres. Does that sound right?

Aunty??? tsk tsk NZ has end to end trails..... But I guess it ain't SA. Just sad to see what's happening here, sometimes I feel like a frog in ever warmer water

I dont. The day I do however, is the day I either stop riding or move... hmmm New Zealand looks nice

HAHA

So I got my new Ergo's.... very nice! I need to get new Cleats but not sure which of the Look Keo's to get. They differ with "play" there is black, Grey and Red. I currently ride Grey which has a bit of play, what is the difference with the one without play? Other than the obvious.... Why have options?

Had the privilege to ride Van Gaalens on Saturday and all I can say is WOW! What a great place!! I was distraught when I heard Teak was closing... but now I found a replacement (albeit a bit further) The route was brilliant and offered a bit of everything. The service after for a nice breakfast was good and the food just as good. Had a chat with the owner/Farmer and was very friendly and full of information. Good to see good service still exists... Cant wait to go back!

Yeah that's a good idea... just changed my cassette to a 11-25 and was on a 12-26 with a compact crank... so suffering right.... but its worth trying. Just want to improve my climbing abilities as this is my weak point and can gain most from. btw Also a weekend warrior Thanks

I was thinking of loading up on weight while I train (especially for the hills) by using heavier wheels, arm and ankle weights perhaps, extra water bottles - anything to make bike and myself heavier. Then lose it all for the race... Would this approach work? I reckon if I weigh 10kgs less, I should fly up those hills
