debullet Posted May 18, 2012 Author Posted May 18, 2012 Crap. Typo's happen when you rant and rave after a few drinks.
TNT1 Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 rant and rave after a few drinks. Yeah, you just shouldn't.

Lucky Luke. Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Wales? Seriously? I'm not sure the Epic would have the same international traction if it was based out of Swansea.
debullet Posted May 18, 2012 Author Posted May 18, 2012 Well, its not as embarrasing as mr mcleans ignorant comment.
Stretch Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Quite simple really. Its a raa raa comment to get people excited about the sport in this country. Ooh look at us we are mtb central. Does it really matter? Fact is we have some **** hot mtb track in this country and that is all I really care about.
Lucky Luke. Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 maybe you'd rather he'd said 'our mountain biking is quite good, almost as good as Wales. For the sake of accuracy and international modesty I'd like to categorically state that several other nations have much better mountain biking than us'. Instead he just said we are the ****. Reckless and ignorant in the extreme.
TNT1 Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Well, its not as embarrasing as mr mcleans ignorant comment. No. You can have all the cake.

With the Epic, Sani2C, JHB2C, and an XC race every other weekend, it may well be.  For free ride, or all mountain etc, I don't think we come close. Edited May 18, 2012 by Richard Best

If events like the epic are you're thing that's cool. But the quality of the mountain biking trails in wales are far superior than anything in SA. Swansea and cape town not a relevant comparison here - I'm talking mountain biking not cities. Bonus 1
