The Isuzu Trucks PE Plett Mountain Bike stage race is in its third year of existence and Isuzu Truck South Africa is once again proud to be the title sponsor. The race extends over a four-day period and a distance of 340 kilometres, from Port Elizabeth to Plettenberg Bay, so training for a race of this nature takes a lot of time and effort in trying to successfully complete the tough route. Isuzu Trucks struck a chord with cyclists in April when they announced a competition as a lead-up to this year’s Isuzu Trucks PE Plett Mountain Bike stage race. Click here to view the article

Hi Guys Has any one had any experience with Continental GP4000 tubs as I will be replacing my Continental Gator skins next week that came with the wheel set. I will be only be racing with them and looking to save some weight compared to the Gator skins. Do the Continental GP4000 have a good puncher protection vs the Continental Competition, I know they not as light but they are ±1000 cheeper for the set. I know a big part of it comes down to luck just trying to minimise the chances of getting a flat. If its a neither here or there ill obviously go with the Competitions. Any comments will help greatly.

The scoring system has been modified from previous years to give every rider on your team a chance to score points for each stage, and for each category of points – it sounds complicated, but it rewards consistency and tactical picks). 64.1% - Daily Stage placings 3.2% - Daily Category (Yellow) 3.2% - Daily Category (Green) 3.2% - Daily Category (White) 3.2% - Daily Category (Polka) 5.4% - Final Podium (Yellow) 5.4% - Final Podium (Green) 5.4% - Final Podium (White) 5.4% - Final Podium (Polka Dot) 0.3% - Daily Jerseys 0.6% - Daily Aggressive 0.6% - Final Aggressive 100.0% - Total Tie breaks In the event of a tie, where two hubbers may have picked the same list of riders, the first person that submitted their list of riders first will be declared the winner. In the event of a tie, where the list of riders are not the same, the highest points accumulated on a single stage will be used to determine the winner. If still a tie, then the number of stage victories, and if still deadlocked then the number of days in yellow. Finally, if still a tie, the person who submitted their entry first will be the winner. The last confirmed list of riders will be used as the “first” submission. Prizes As always, I rely on the generosity of hubbers, admin, sponsors and anyone else to find prizes. If you want to offer prizes, or know of someone that wants to sponsor prizes, please contact me.

Another month down and time again to vote for the winner in our GoPro Photo of the Day competition. We've changed things up after the fake vote issues experienced in May. The intention was always for the competition to be community driven and in this spirit the final selection should rest with the community. However, instead of voting from the full month's images, an initial voting panel has narrowed it down to 5 finalists. And to simplify things you now choose just 1 image - your favorite - instead of the top 3 as before. Voting We've kept things simple. Just vote for your favourite of the finalists in the poll above. The photo with the most votes by midday next Friday wins. Note: If you choose to view the results of the poll before casting a vote you lose your vote. The winner will be based on the image with the most votes and will take home the GoPro Hero 3+ Silver Edition. In the event of a tie, a tie-breaker vote will be setup. Voting will close at 12h00 on Friday, 8 August 2014.
