Well, that's half the office day "wasted"...

Just ride new & different routes and you can set PB's until you 90! :devil:

Just because it is easier to learn ride a bike, does not mean that it is easier to reach the top echelons in cycling/mtbing than in rugby, swimming, athletics or any other sport. Genetics AND hard work AND no injuries AND monetary support AND some luck AND sheer bloody-mindedness

Hy Wyatt Which tyre is 3' wide? Why such a wide tyre - what benefits / terrain? What's it like riding with super fat tackies? Thanks!

PS: do not forget to call your life insurance broker....

KIKOP KOM is KOM, ou pel...

go check out kenrockwell.com - you might like his style, as he focuses on colour as the primary ingredient of his photos

scary, scary stuff.

nah, I say crank it up! develop your own style - don't listen to what anyone else says.

hope you are ok

that's not what the books / mechanics say...chainrings are brand new (4 months).

On my Spez Camber, X7 front derailleur has given lots of hassles (chain suck, falling off, not changing smoothly) but XT rear derailleur has been perfect...bike has been serviced 3 times (once by LBS, twice at S2C). My other bike (26er, 3rd-hand, abused) has XT front and rear but, despite all the abuse and lack of servicing, runs like a swiss watch.

:clap: :clap:

hope you heal up soon - please consider going to see a trauma counselor ASAP. all the best!

Go see an endocrinologist and have all the tests done - they are expensive but worth it. The old bodybuilding maxim is to use your goal weight x 2 = grams of pure protein you need to consume every day. It sounds easy but it is bloody hard to get the proper nutrition in day after day. That's why most guys go the whey protein supplement route (Optimum Nutrition/ON is the best brand but expensive).

thanks, I will drop them an email. this race is the only thing that will keep me in training through this artic winter of ours - I NEED MOTIVATION.

WTF? Is ok, any race with the word "die" in it is probably not gonna be fun...

how do you enter the 75km when the site (http://dieburgermtbchallenge.co.za/) only allows entries for the 60km?

Horizontal hills...
