    My 2 cents - I was on the Spruit this am and was swiftly overtaken by some dude on an uphill - my initial thought was fark I am not as fit (or strong) as I thought I was! I then looked down and saw the motor and to his credit as he passed me he said "I'm cheating"! To be honest I was not disheartened at all as it actually looked way too easy and I did not see the point - but that is my view, he may have a totally different perspective or reason for riding an e-bike and good for him - it has bugger all to do with me. I was just chuffed that I was able to ride and get a good workout.

    What great news, may her journey continue from strength to strength!

    As above - if it developed a crack sans a crash they should replace, if crack is crash related I think you get 50% off new purchase, or something of the like

    I ride my first (and only) 100km on 5 bottles!

    Very well put

    I think that military green is pretty cool. That black also looks awesome though - would be a tough, but nice, choice to have to make

    You are a season behind the fashionistas

    Yellow is the bomb, my view is that no-one will remember me for my riding so they may as well remember me for my bike! The only downside to the yellow is that scratches, nicks etc show up very easily so don't crash, leave it leaning up against anything metallic etc!!

    Thanks guys - appreciated - ending at a shebeen might be an option!

    Hi Victor What is the difference between the 95km and 105km, besides an additional 10km (to pre-empt any smart a$$es). I assume there are some tough(er) climbs on the 105?
  13. Wet Ears
    There is a method to my madness - a lot easier to explain costs associated with MTB, need to train, upgrade etc if the other half is also into cycling. You do however run the risk that after one ride she says sod it so perhaps n+1 is the way to go!
  14. Wet Ears
    Awesome - thanks

    I took delivery of this beauty 2 months ago so I am all sorted. Been wanting to try and get the other half to try and start cycling and this will be the kick start needed! Is the Juliana in the mix?

    Are those pics from Crossfit Proform?

    Still trying to get over (excuse the pun) Iconic on day 2 of Sani! That hill has made me extremely climbing averse!
  18. Wet Ears
    That is pretty much how I would define tough!
  19. Wet Ears
    I have only done 2 stage races, namely Cradle Trophy (is that even a stage race) and Sani - assume this is tougher?
  20. Wet Ears
    Only heard cool things about this race but battling to get info as website does not seem to like me. Do all days start and end at Mankele? If not any idea as to the overnight stops? Keen to enter but would also like to try and book some accommodation as keen to bring the family along? Any info/advice would be greatly appreciated.
  21. Wet Ears
    Website/links do not appear to be right - or is it just me?
  22. Wet Ears
    Clicked on website and "enter now" banner and I just get IT lingo!

    Much like a mullet!

    On the note of tyre pressure, just got a new bike that came with: Maxxis Minion DHF Exco up front, and Maxxis Ardent race Exo on rear. I am a healthy 108kgs and do most of my riding in Jhb ie Northern Farms, Groenkloof, Thaba etc. What sort of pressures should I be looking at for that riding and would that change for Sani?
