FC&P2C Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I kind of covinced myself that my bike collection is in need of a cyclocross bike (obike is giving them away!)Not sure that I will ride it? Are cyclocross bikes allowed at mtb races? Are there any races that would suit a cx bike? Are there groups in Gauteng that ride together?Any advise or info will help.
bikemonster Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Do it! There are also CX bikes on the Kona South Africa web store...including a single speed bike. Mmmmmmmm!
CAAD4 Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I hope you find a group. I would live to watch you okes race.

Thug Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Both JMaccelari and Jules ride GT CX bikes. Jules either rides his SS or CX bike at the Delta Park night race and Jeremy rides his on Fridays at ICG

FC&P2C Posted January 19, 2011 Author Posted January 19, 2011 Any one of you staying out east? I am in Kempton. Would like to ride with fellow cx riders.
FC&P2C Posted January 21, 2011 Author Posted January 21, 2011 Got my GTR cx yesterday. Its even better than I thought it would be. Now just need time to ride it between bmx racing, training for Ironman and getting time in with the wife on the tandem for Argus. And still want to do the spruit and mtn park with my all mountain!
Weight Weenie Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Been watching "behind the barriers" and REALLY keen to race cross, looks like soooo much fun ! We should try get something going, even if it means people start with locked out forks on mtbs and normal road bikes.
gummibear Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 What can be fun about riding a 3km course,in sub zero temps with the rain pissing down.I will tell you later .Doing my first race later today on a borowed bike.I really hope it warms up a little before then -2 deg at the moment.
Thug Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Good luck Gummi, give it horns and attack from the gun!!

gummibear Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Good luck Gummi, give it horns and attack from the gun!! I tried that but being overweight and unfit didn't help It's fullout racing from the start,we did 45 minutes and then one lap.At least i didn't get lapped on the 3.5km course.They had a ladder to go over a fence and hay bails scattered all over the place that you had to climb over.There was one or two guys that bunny hopped them on the first lap.It's really fun but it's hard.The track riders will enjoy it.Think of it as a offroad criterium
