  1. Needed to change my seat position before my Saturday morning ride and ... stripped the hex bolt holding the seat. Seeing my weekend cycling flying out the window, I removed the seat post with seat and rushed to Nut & Bolt for help. They could provide a replacement bolt but were unable to remove the stripped unit. Off to Bicycle Exchange to talk to Avron for advice. His reply "BMC will sort you out." and so off I rushed again. By this time it was 11:30. Although BMC close at 12:00, Sampie took on the job and after trying different methods, managed to remove the offending stripped bolt by drilling off the bolt head - without any damage to my precious carbon seat post. Kudos to the staff at BMC for their willingness to go the extra mile to assist a self help bicycle maintenance clod from a sticky position. Sampie, you're a star.
  2. Today we got stuck about 6-7km from the trail head at Northern Farm when my son's rear axle broke rendering his bike un-rideable. We walked a bit carrying his bike but thought there was no way we would walk all the way back. We googled the farm number and could only find a cell phone number for Bongani Sithole. We called him and told him we were stuck. He was very friendly and immediately offered to bring his tractor and trailer to where we were (which happened to be "Road to nowhere"). He knew exactly where that was and came to our rescue! Thank you Bongani, you were my hero of the day! I hope you get promoted soon! We gave him a nice gratuity! Bongani's rig bringing us home! Bongani and my son
  3. As an avid MTB'er and business man I am looking at setting up two development teams with entries to 2015 Sani2c. I want to select 4 previously disadvantaged riders from the Soweto/Katlehong area, preferably guys that are looking at making riding a career or are top of their cycling clubs etc if they have one. The idea is simple, · Identify four individuals that suit the criteria · Organize sponsored bikes and gear · Setup a training program etc which will be either with myself or a professional · Pay for their entry into Sani2c(entries secured already) · Sponsor them getting down to Underberg and back from Scotties · Continue to develop them if it works to do Dusi2c etc etc With the above on the table I was wondering if anyone could lend any assistance in this regard, firstly to assist in identifying the individuals or pointing me in the direction of the person that could assist. Maybe to assist in obtaining the gear sponsorship and training programs/professionals. Any comments and suggestions would be great
