mmmm, like I said, its all relative...some people will rave, some will rant for the exact same race. Rather go do it yourself and find out...You might miss some really nice rides because someones opinion of it was that it sucks. How would one allocate the stars as an example...if the OP was to allocate these it seems medals are a priority, but for me it would not even feature. Goody bag is another one that was important to him...to me, I care rocks about a free gel and 1974's huisgenoot. Its like beers....you will soon find your favourites

By participating Value is relative to each person. I might think Sani is an overhyped, overpriced, crap race...someone else might have had the time of their lives and would pay double We are both right and wrong....see what I did there.

wahahhaha I hear you, but no doubt the uproar of the aunty will cause joberg parks to ban both dogs and bicycles. And then everyone looses...

yea, the rest of the spruit is pretty open, the main issue with that treeline is where it comes close to the walking path and its pretty blind do to foliage leading up to it.....dogs especially run all over and I lets face it....you will kill a stoepkakkertjie one time if you hit it at speed. Can you imagine how ape the aunty will go if killed her yorkie....

Your choice....the fact that you are going at a speed in public park(where mtb'er are already skating on thin ice ito being allowed to) where dogs and children run around is reckless. Don't be that guy that spoils it for everyone Take it easy through there, its for everyone's enjoyment and IS NOT a bikepark....there are venues where you can bomb down as fast as you want....the spruit and emma isn't it.

Great attitude....you are due a pakslae ouboet.

Apology accepted Scuba...

hehhehe strava art....must do

100%

eish...been sick 3 times this winter already....currently sitting with a pretty thick head, coughing like a gunston smoker. Really had enough of cold already.

hehehhehhe....hit a nerve I see. But yes, wrt to them ugly monopoly corporates that have us by the short and curly's. Deactivate your DSTV, cut your landline / ADSL and convert your home to solar polar....That will show them hey...I mean what is lekkerder than sitting at home without internet, watching SABC 1..2..3 and luke warm showers. But jokes aside. You chose to participate meneer, no point in trying argue that it wasnt worth it after the fact. The best for you to do is not to participate again, I mean you paid your schoolfees now. Like a lot of hubbers say, try and steer clear of the "one day classics" at known venues. See I think you started this thread to vent your buyers remorse, and bumped it hoping to get people to rant with you...but alas value is relative. Me personally, I am not prepared to pay 5 times the amount to ride at a venue / trails that I can normally ride for a fraction, that is why there are only a handfull of races that gets my attention. But to each their own.

great stuff....the lekker thing about the BBT9 is that you can never loose the lockring remover(little black thing) at the end cause its fixed on the tool itself.

Another +1 here....good okes...nothing to worry about

For shimano cranks you will need this....best tool ever http://www.parktool.com/product/bottom-bracket-tool-BBT-9 go get it....it removes the crank lockring and BB without hurting the cups like other tools

Some say the best rides are the ones without garmins / racing / set route....just a good ol recce with some tjommies...

No need for a bump....just don't do race. Nobody is forcing you to participate...willing buyer, willing seller.

that is really the problem with HR based training....the fitter you get, the lower your HR will be for the same efforts. Over and above hitting higher zones...85-90%....90%+ will require greater effort and take longer to reach if you are using it for interval training. In summary, you are getting fitter...

Give the following a ring and ask them for their best price Complete cyclist's Bryanston Cyclelab(they will match any quote remember, and if its closer to you then why not) Solomon's

Hier is a goeie tip Johan Bly weg van "vol diens" dit en half diens dat...Maak n lys wat jy will vervang op jou fiets / asook enige iets wat nie meer so lekker werk nie. Vat die lys na die winkel toe en se jy will dit gedoen he, en vra hoeveel dit gaan kos...Met n spesifieke lys van goed weet die winkel presies wat gedoen moet word en jou verwagtinge word nie n grys area nie.

Can't enforce direction...so take it easy through there. There is an unwritten rule about the direction(down of course) but you cannot get uptight with people about it.

hahahha imagine...but no, they brew in hectolitres....if can ever go for a tour in one of their proper breweries, do it....fascinating stuff...there fermentation tanks are HUGE I will come clean into SAB involvement though....did a some optimization models for brewing and bottling for them about 4 years ago....traveled to most of their African breweries...awesome experience

East...china to be more specific.

Yip....two frames One from fongkong, one from the USA Both experience and bikes were awesome

BS....BS.....BS. The rumor started with people knowing f-all about SAB, their standards and brewing.Here is how it started. Depending on the location of the brewery SAB will have to adjust the ph of the water at the facility....this is of course if they want to ensure a castle in natal taste like a castle in polokwane. Water ph can make beers taste very different. So they adjust with chemicals....but here is the catch...So do ALL other breweries, Windhoek included. So that is where the chemical story was born...of course playing into Windhoek's hands with the whole reinheitsgebot, advertising that they don't make beer from anything but water, hops and malted barley. So if winhoek is rein(clean, pristine, natural) of course SAB isn't...very cool marketing ploy but unfortunately just that...marketing. It was actually a law passed in germany to stop people from brewing with anything they could find...from wiki "The Reinheitsgebot was introduced in part to prevent price competition with bakers for wheat and rye. The restriction of grains to barley was meant to ensure the availability of affordable bread, as the more valuable wheat and rye were reserved for use by bakers." So it was actually a money / tax thing more than anything else, certainly has no implication ito quality. Also the "adjuncts" add different flavour notes and the sugars also aid in fermenting to different alcohol levels. But well played and milked by NAB. PS I don't work for SAB currently....I just know a wee bit about the processing and scale these operations function under...

That and that Frame moertoe....post wasnt deep enough into the frame.
